So Fresh and So Crisp Crisp

So in an effort to appear more crisp I've been stepping my game up this week. I've work heels every day this week AND I've worn my makeup as well. Believe THAT or not. It's funny how the people you don't think notice you, actually do. For example the elevator maintenance man, Dante said to me on Wednesday "You sure have been glowing this week!" I took that as a compliment and said "Thanks." As I walked off I thought to myself, I never even knew he realized I walked this same path every day. I mean I speak to him and the crew every now and again but wow. Then yesterday I was on my way to pick up lunch for everyone that ordered out (how nice of me :-/)...

WAIT, let me harp on THAT for a second! As a courtesy I sometimes ask if anyone wants to order food from the place I normally order lunch from. I don't mind picking up their food and bringing it back...I mean after all I AM going to the same place. HOWEVER, some people take it too damn far. So yesterday I'm asking around if anyone wants to order anything and taking orders. All of a sudden (as I'm walking out of the door no less) I hear "Wait! Since you're going out can you stop at Taco Bell and get me something?" In my mind I'm thinking "Big bitch did I announce that I was going to Taco Bell? NO!" Instead I say, "umm hell naw I'm not going to Taco Bell" she says"but it's right around the corner..." I say (and Lord knows I didn't think about how this would sound before I said it) "why don't you go..it's a pretty day out and exercise is good for you..." I don't know if she was offended or defeated but she just said 'ok' and I left. My thing is...do I LOOK like I work for Lunch Delivery, Inc? Seriously..and furthermore, she never asks me if she can being me something back when she goes out for lunch. BP!

Anyway! Like I was saying yesterday I was on my way to pick up lunch for everyone that ordered out and on my way I was asked my a homeless guy if he could carry the box for me (a little background when we order out I usually take a box with me so that carrying the food back is easier. Which means on my way to the place the box is EMPTY). In my disbelief I chuckle and say "Dude it's EMPTY. Do better..." You're probably thinking wow that's crazy...but it gets worse. On my way back I get stopped again by another man (this time I'm obviously carrying a box full of something) who says "Scuse me baby...can I carry that box for you?" I roll my eyes b/c I'm thinking he can NOT be serious...after all he's at least 65, damn near crippled, and walks with a cane. I say to myself..."Self...humor me" and that's exactly what I do...I raise my brow and say "You're (I stress that word) going to carry this (I stress this word too) box for me (my last stressed word)? He says *trying to sound sexy no less* "Yeahhhhh" I say "cane and all huh?" He's like "I only use this cane b/c I have a busted up knee, you got jokes don't you?" I say "no, I just wanted to know that God was still in the miracle working business b/c that's what it's going to take for you to carry this box." He replies that I'm a "feisty cat" and my husband is lucky to have a 'sweet thang' like me...I walk off, but not before I thank him for the laugh. *smh* Only in Atlanta, ONLY in Atlanta.

Also, earlier this week I was on the train going home when the train stopped , I thought "Lord what is going on with Marta NOW?" As if the train operator could read my mind he says "Ladies and gentlemen this train will move momentarily, the MARTA police are looking for a lost child." Immediately I say... "now how the hell do you LOSE a child on the train? Someone needs their parent license revoked...uggh" After about 7 or so minutes the train begins to move again...either they found the child or said eff it and stopped looking...either way I was astonished and amazed that someone could LOSE their child on the damn train. I wish I MIGHT get on the train without a tight grip on my kids!

There's more to tell...but I've got a caffeine headache. I may finish up later.

G'day folks!
