iHateGreenBeans

In front of the Burj al-Arab hotel in Dubai…

My meal on the airplane back from Dubai was so questionable, that I had to take a picture of it. Do you see the green beans with what appears to be “sweet potato baby food” sauce? I almost threw up. The smell. Sometimes I have nightmares about the smell. And can anyone identify what’s actually on the plate beside the olive and lemon wedge? Notice how I only ate the bread and butter. And yes…I thought about stealing the cute salt and pepper shakers. So sue me!

Thursday morning…

Boss: “What are you doing this weekend?”
Lincee: “Catching up on TiVo’d shows.”

Boss: “I need you to go to Dubai.”
Lincee: Blank stare, mouth hanging open, secretly wondering where Dubai is located.

Boss: “Great. We’ll talk about details later. It’s in the Middle East by the way.”
Lincee: “Good to know.”

Boss: Shakes his head and laughs to himself wondering how a girl from the sticks is going to make it in this field.

This is a picture of my desk. You’ll notice it has typical items that one might need during a busy work day. Phone, Aquafina, lotion, Dallas Cowboys foam finger, Captain America pez dispenser, I heart Jim sticky notes…the usual.

Cut to earlier this week. A fellow co-worker visited my office and made a joke about croutons. Being the nice person I am, I offered a fake courtesy laugh (even though I didn’t get it) and went about my day. Until he came in that afternoon and started talking about croutons again. What the crap? He’d talk about how they smelled and asked if they exfoliated. I finally had to call him out on it.

“Dave…what in the world are you talking about croutons for?”

“I figured you liked them.”

“Sure, but what does that have to do with anything?”

“Your lotion.”

Home boy thought my “Warm Vanilla Sugar” hand cream from Bath & Body Works was croutons! Take a closer look at the label! You can’t blame him!

I haven’t laughed that hard in a long, long time. Thanks Dave. Thanks for being a silly, silly boy.
