What astonished, or took you quite by surprise, today?

So, the next day the next day I go lattern flashlight shopping. Of course, it seems like half of my city's population had the same idea.

A woman just in front of me literally got the last one off the shelf in this store. I felt like arm wrestling her for it. Mad

But you didn't, right?
That would be a most un-Reyn-like thing to do! Surprised




















[size=7]Hmmm, I guess this wasn't really a "surprised post", but more of a sarcastic one.

Never mind....[/size]

Dear readers, I did a most un-Olga thing yesterday. Seriously, I really surprised even myself!

There's this co-worker in my office who is as nice as nice when she needs a favour & then sometimes quite hideously unpleasant & rude when she doesn't. You get the picture? A pain in the bum, in other words. OK. I've tended to help when I can .. simply because I feel sorry for her, because .. well, she has problems. Real ones, I think. And besides, I hate conflict!

So yesterday (not being a day when she needed help) she was inexcusably rude not once, but twice in the space of about 5 minutes. To my utter surprise I told her exactly what was what! I don't know who was more gob-smacked, me or her!

I wondered why I hadn't said something a long time ago, Roberta. No exaggeration, this woman is quite insufferable. We've tended to lay off because, as I said, there does seem to be something of a "problem" there. But this time enough was enough! I didn't actually choose to say something, it just came out spontaneously.

Msolga--

Good for you.

The woman has problems--and this is sad--but she has no right to inflict her ill humor on innocent bystanders.

No, but I sure wanted to! Grrrr....

I suppose I should have bought something like that in September. Embarrassed

I really was taken aback when a yellow popup in my systems tray read:

"Intrusion signature alert." What does that mean?

Hey, msolga. I've done that before, but under different circumstances. Cleansing, no? Razz

Sorry, I have absolutely no idea of what that could mean, Letty.

Timber?

Cleansing? Hmmmm, Letty. It was rather like dropping a big, heavy bag of potatoes on my foot.: on one hand it was so good to finally let go. But on the other, what damage & fall-out would follow?

The size of this site has astonished me! I've been reading various threads for over an hour now and feel that I've only scratched the surface.
I have been a member of two other places like this for about a year now, but this site is WAY bigger than the two of them combined.

I've already received a cryptic note about a hamster, now I'm being warned about a bunny.
These references to furry creatures obviously have some significance so I shall heed your words dadpad.
