so today, i challenged someone to tell me a secret. i know, i know, i’m an emailing pain in the ass looking for entertainment during an otherwise sucky work day. everyone who’s had to amuse me with song lyrics and bad puns knows there are days i must be distracted, must be entertained through my entire work day to get from the morning to the time when i can walk out the door…today was one of those days, as i started out fairly flippin’ irritated and needed some levity.
what was interesting when it came down to being told the secret…the person was sure i already knew it. but i didn’t! not a freakin’ clue! really! and i’m usually pretty intuitive about things, but seriously, not a clue. that’s the thrill of telling people things, of putting things out there, no matter how small. you can never really be sure that anyone really knows anything or understands any situation unless you’re willing to spill the beans.
today’s lessons are
1. email me and amuse me
2. never assume anyone knows what the hell is in your head, put it out there!
3. i can answer the front desk phone, talk on the cell phone, remote access my desk to work on a memo and smile all at the same time, proved it today!
4. tell me a secret! i might tell you one back. but i am the notoriously elusive, evasive answer-a-question-with-a-question kat after all, so i might not…
