Conflict And Food Issues
I was invited to participate in a training seminar for managers called "Dealing With Conflict." Apparently my preferred methods of choking, slapping senseless, and wishing death to my enemies/customers/coworkers are not the ideal corporate procedures. I say, stick with what works.
Last night I went to my monthly networking group event. I was looking stylish in my jeans, button down, and slick sport coat. But somehow I wound up with sour cream in two different areas of the coat. There was mexican appetizers with sour cream. Either I was sloppy or the victim of a vicious sour cream assault. The police have no leads.
And then today at work I opened a yougurt and dug in thinking it was the same flavor as usual, banana. So it freaked me out when I put a spoonful in my mouth and felt something chunky and in a nano second thinking the worst like perhaps a bug or finger was in there, I spit it out across the breakroom table. Turns out it was apple flavor with chunks of fruit.

"You were invited to participate in a seminar"...Reminds me of the episode of The Office where they had Diversity Day Training led by a guy from corporate. At the end he asked everyone to sign a statement saying they were aware of what constituted bigotry. Michael, (Steve Carell)didn't think he needed to sign. The corporate guy said "Michael, the only reason I am here is because of your behavior. I didn't want to embarrass you so I gave the training to the whole staff". Hmmmm
Hey, does this have spell check so I don't look like a complete idiot?

Yes Paul -- It was as funny and gross as it sounds.
