So I'm walking over to the fridge at work today to grab me a can of mountain dew, and there are two women standing in front of the coffee pot, talking. I walk past just in time to catch the tail-end of their conversation, which was apparently about their relative work-load at the moment.
One says something like, "You wouldn't believe the number of TPS reports on my desk today -- it's brutal." The other one replies, "Yeah, it's either fast or famine...fast or famine." And the other woman nods her head and says, "Yep. You got that right."
I guess it's pretty bad when your only choices are between voluntary and involuntary starvation.
I believe it's "Feast or famine"...
ReplyDeleteuh yeah. That would be my point.

ReplyDeleteyes it does... your last sentence was "I wish I had a job where I got paid whether I worked or not" which made it seem like you didn't know the actual quote.
ReplyDeletebite a big sword there, mister....
Sigh....women. Always twisting my words.
ReplyDeleteI have a friend who is constantly getting sayings wrong.
ReplyDelete"Take it as a grain of salt"
"I don't like her aurora"
She's hilarious!
I know what you mean about some people Johnny. They always seem to wanna put words in your crotch.
ReplyDeleteNothing is worse than saying "acrossT."
ReplyDelete(I changed my name).
My ol' lady always messes up sayings. One of her favorites is, "you're walking on thin water."
ReplyDeletebest miswordacreache: some 'Friends' episode. cracks me up.
ReplyDeleteJoey: Rach, you gotta find out if he's in the same place you are. Otherwise, it's just a moo point.
Rachel: A moo point?
Joey: Yeah. It's like a cow's opinion. It just doesn't matter. It's moo.
