The Kid (and for once, it’s not one of mine)

Friday 26 May, 2006 10:57 am | Blogging, Funny Stuff | AmyD

My husband works for a small, yet successful, appraisal firm here in town. He shares an office with a guy who is nearly a male version of a soulmate, I’ll just call him C (they even grew up in the same area in the mountains) and… the company owner’s son (we’ll call him The Kid or TK), who at last count isn’t old enough to grow decent facial hair or purchase his own beer. Ok, so he’s like 20… but still.

A few weeks ago the following conversation took place and The Kid has been getting razzed for it ever since.

TK (on phone with client using grown up, serious tone): Well, I’m going to have to check with my office manager…

(gets off phone)

MOM!!!!!!!!!!!!

And, yes, “Mom” runs the office.

So now every once in a while Mike will pick up his cell phone…

Mike: Sure, I’ll just have to run that by my office manager.

C (Mike’s buddy) using shrill, high-pitched, whiney voice: MOM!!!!!!!!!!!

Funny? Absolutely… but if I had to work around these morons all the time I’d go bonkers.

Oh and FYI, a few months ago I got a domain for this blog thinking that I might switch from Blogger to somewhere else… in case I do that you might want to update your links from amyhbp.blogspot.com to www.amysmusings.com ;o)

I’m not saying I will for sure… just saying I’m mulling the idea over.

    Oh! Hey! I’ve been meaning to tell you about something that is supposed to help if you’re having bad carb cravings during the winter!

    Have a little. :-)

    But if you have it, have something high in Fiber, etc. too.

    I started eating on small bowl of oatmeal in the morning. I have the rest of the day to burn up the energy and it really helps me from craving carbs the rest of the day.

    *that being said, I have NOT lost 13 lbs in the last ANY TIME…. so my advice is probably worthless. LOL

    Well good Gawd woman, congrats! I just started this diet too … ugh. The Safeway butter pecan ice cream isn’t too bad. Chocolate is pretty tasteless. Ice cream bars, now those are almost tasty. :o) Good luck! :thumbsup:

    I’m the same way. I am very grateful when I try to lose weight, there is no one else in the house but me… No temptation. I don’t keep chocolate and stuff in the house because it is gone in about ten seconds. I cannot ration candy.

    Adam, you are a jackass! :flaming:

    Amy darling, hooray for losing 13 pounds!! But did I not read sometime that you were doing Nutrisystem?

    I are confused.

    Miss B - I was actually thinking of doing the oatmeal thing. But, uh, that is because I’ve been CRAVING oatmeal like mad lately.

    and… :heartbeat: thank you!

    Michelle - The Dreyer’s no sugar added is pretty good, especially the mint n’chip. Thrifty’s brand no sugar added is good as well.

    The Absurdist - Lucky, lucky you. :pttpth:

    Avi - :hole:

    B’s Mom - :thumbsup: :toya:

    I was on Nutrisystem but I switched back to low carb because it works so much faster to me. I wanted some instant gratification. :rotflmao:

    Yay for losing 13 pounds! :groovy:

    And the M&M buyer was asking to lose their candy, leaving it around like that.

    I just started low carb eating today. As of this moment, I’m not having cravings at all, but I’ve only ate one meal. lol Congrats on your 13 lb. loss! I hope it works as well for me.

    Anyone who would bring M & Ms into the home of a woman on a low carb diet deserves to lose them! And, if it were found to be the person who wants a drive a day, well………………

    Anyone who would dare to bring M&Ms into the house and then HIDE them - deserves to have them stolen.
