I’m at a DISASTROUS crossroads in life

Welcome! If you're new to my site, click HERE to let me show you where the best benefits for yourself are located. Thanks for visiting!

Hate the world?Morning!

Ah, the joys of hating the world.

And then choosing to drag my weary self out to the car dn go shopping for the chili peppers comfort food that always makes me feel better.

And then dealing with the nice chirpy perky checkout girl who smilingly asked, How are you doing?

Sigh.

Ever wish you had a snappy comeback to that inane line, especially when you hate the world and the world should die?

My stock reply is

I’m at a DISASTROUS crossroads in life.  How are you?  Smile smile!

I’ll give her credit - instead of the usual "Deer in the headlights" look or "Gee, that’s nice" response I normally get, she parried back, cool!  I think I’ll join you!

I will admit, that DID make me smile.  :)  And after returning home, I sauteed those chili peppers, added chili powder (yes indeed, I do appreciate chili), made myself a super salad and am more at one with the universe. 

Tomorrow, after all, is another day. 

How about you?  How do YOU respond when complete strangers ask, how are you doing, when it’s obvious you’re less friendly than a pack of snarling lions who have been deprived of Marlon Perkins?

Enjoy,

Barbara Ling

    I used to be one of those perky checkout girls…it’s nice to know there is still such a thing…so many I see now barely even say hello…provided there is even a checkout person at all, since most stores here have self checkout.

      Hi Chelle!

      Self-checkout is getting more popular, but we still do have lots of cashiers. I don’t envy their task of having to deal with customers day in day out, that’s for sure….

      Thanks for stopping by, Barbara
