I try to avoid conversations with my supervisor at work at all costs. It's not always possible, though. Here are a few examples of why I avoid interaction.
Supervisor: Beth, I've noticed you haven't been at any of our monthly staff meetings lately. (FYI, these are held on Wednesdays at 9 am.)
Me: Well, uh, that's because I work 5-9pm on Wednesdays.
Supervisor: Oh, hmm...
Me: (This is where I walk away)
S: Whatcha eating there?
M: An apple and some oatmeal.
S: (Pointing to my bowl) That looks like some sort of cereal.
M: Uh, yeah. It's oatmeal.
S: Can you switch weekends with another person? She needs off on the 11th.
M: Well, since that's my normal weekend to work, I just assumed I would be here anyway. I can't really switch.
S: Thanks for your input. Your help is appreciated.
The End.

Things I Like: Fall Edition
So, I haven't posted in forever. And more importantly I haven't made a list in a very long time. So this one is about all the things I like about fall.
Brand new school supplies
Dew on the grass every morning
Fog hanging low over fields, streams, and ponds
Sweatshirts
Corn dogs at the fair
The first time you can see your breath in the morning
Leaves turning
Thanksgiving
Feeling an internal sense of renewal
Driving with the windows down
Sleeping with windows open
Hot chocolate
Sweaters
School buses
Backpacks
Words like autumnal and equinox
New TV shows
