One of the things I really don’t like about being work at home is that I feel guilty when I get sick and take time off.

I’m used to people pointing out that I talk “funny”, but a recent acquaintance I let dribble into a budding friendship won’t drop it. I have the slightest feeling they are trying to bait me into revealing its all an act when it really isn’t. I’ve politely steered the conversation away everytime but now it’s getting uncomfortable and it’s making me want to end any sort of thing we had building.

Maybe, I’m just extra tired and shouldn’t have gone to lunch with them.

Nah, they’re just rude. Bad enough mentioning it once, let alone multiple times

I’m curious as to what’s meant by funny…

It’s hard to describe until you hear it, but most people say I sound fancy. As a kid I mumbled a lot and my mother would get horribly angry about it and scream and shout about “talking properly”, so as a result I talk slowly and have a bit of a news reader accent.

I feel like anyone trying to point out you talk “funny”, over and over again, is verging on being a bully or insecure. Or just incredibly rude

So you have a radio voice. That’s GOOD. That’s a skill.

Sounds like an asset to me! In fact to some people that would sound kinda sexy.

So here’s my recent (as of 1/2 an hour ago) head scratcher.

My brother is getting married in less than a month and I got an email yesterday from the best man (his old roomie) detailing the bucks.

Specifically stating don’t let bro know. I just got a call from bro (who isn’t supposed to know) saying I have to send a bunch of coin ($400) for the 2 activities that are planned.

No one is telling me any acct #s…

It’s just super short notice.

Am I right to scratch my head? Or is that normal?

Is my communication radar so off?

Nah, seems like communication is entirely astray. Maybe go to the best man and confirm with him?

Recovering from recent flu like so many others also are, so nothing of great interest unfortunately 😕 Actually trying to get back on the exercise bandwagon because I was too exhausted recently.

Another one under the weather - will be puttering around and lowkey sorting up the mess I made from the last big go at Operation Sort Shit, and sorting more stuff to go out when I’m well enough to venture out. Am in the mood for a bit of cooking (since it’s just me eating it) and some Sims playing.
