RW installment 6

That's right kiddos.... it's time for another volume of your favorite office piss off!

I've already mentioned how R thinks she is the boss' mom. Now she's my mom too, apparently.

I didn't have a normal lunch because I was out late and didn't feel like making lunch when I got home. I had some almonds and some fruit and various little things, but no mac & cheese, the main dish. So after the Accounting Department finished with this all-day "training" session (which is a whole 'nuther rant) I asked R to call up this local place and order me a bagel with veggie cream cheese.

"A bagel? That's is? No wonder you're so skinny! You need to eat more."

I explained to her that I do have other food, and I'm no stick figure, and I can eat whatever the hell I want, so leave me alone, and that the bagel is actually a vegetable sandwich and is quite filling.

Many things came to mind: She's not in shape, but she's not what I would call fat. I am in a little bit better shape, but I wouldn't call myself "super skinny" either (I prefer the term "curvy"). And I used my small bones excuse. You know how some people blame their huskiness on big bones? I blame things like my tiny girl arms on small bones - and to prove it, I've broken more bones than I can name because they are fragile. She argued with me that my bones have nothing to do with it, and that I'm super skinny, and I have great metabolism, and I'm so lucky, and she's so fat. I just walked away because I was hungry, she was insulting me and looking for compliments. Not to mention that she wa

I don't think I could have even engaged in a conversation like that particularly if I were hungry. What did you end up eating?

I had some fruit & nuts, a clif bar, and some chips, then I ate pizza as soon as I got home.
