I’ve been reading other blogs again. Admiring the witty statements. The nice turn of phrase. The pure banality of it all. Mine included.

Today started out pretty much in a haze. Foggy thoughts. Couldn’t speak coherently. Concepts flitting away in the corner of my mind. I often have problems speaking. Thoughts seem to tumble out randomly only making sense to me. I have to slow down and construct the sentence in my head before I let it escape out my mouth. I know I haven’t succeeded when I see the glassy-eyed expressions. Some part of me wonders just what the hell they’re thinking while I compose myself and start over.

The new guy started and sure likes to hear himself talk. I’ve learned more trivia about him then I know about most of my friends. I have to corral the conversation back to whatever it was that started it in the first place. Nice guy. Still working out territory. Still watching him go through all the male rituals with all the other guys. So far so good. I watch their expressions. I watch their body stances. All the while chuckling inside as the ‘alpha dog’-ness of it all threatens to send me into giggles.

Poor guy has been told his cube is haunted, that I’m a real task master, and he’s on the hook for 50 projects. It’s a wonder he hasn’t run screaming from the building. But he does seem to know when he’s being teased.
