Today on my drive into work, I was thinking about how if there is a psychotic, vindictive, pathological liar in any office I work in, I am always going to find a way to get on that person's bad side. Working with crazy people is a fact of life, and it's usually merely annoying up until the moment they point their crazy at you and start firing.

There's just something about me, I guess. I have a gift.

The sad thing about talents is that everybody has at least one, but you don't get to pick which one it's going to be.

I'd have chosen a talent for making lots and lots of money, given the choice. Instead, I got the innate ability to irritate crazy people.

Intriguing gift...

But one that should be returned ;)

I would like to trade this gift in for the ability to charm people into giving me expensive gifts (gold, cars, jewelry, etc.). Where is the return counter for these sorts of things?

have a gift.

never been a problem for me because arrogant and unrepentant trumps any crazy,..;)

The thing with crazy is that, like battery acid, it causes irritation and pain when someone dumps it on you. A haz-mat suite of arrogance and unrepentance helps, but only so much, because it only increases the pH level of the crazy as it tries to burn through it.

If only they sold magical armor that repelled those types of people! HAHAHA! I'd buy a lifetime supply of it!


Hopefully ... no one like that sets their sights on you.

Oh she has. And not only is she crazy, she's peri-menopausal.

I'm doomed.

I too have this gift...curse.

Aluminum does seem to repel certain ones...maybe a hat?

;)

Hang in there!

Thanks for the tip. Next time she approaches, I'll hold up the ever-present can of diet Coke that I always have with me and see if it keeps her at bay.

...if I didn't, crazy would be striking all over at random places, which would be bad for society in general. They are lighting, and I'm the rod that attracts them.
