“Biff that’s a good way to lose an eye!”

THL….that’s such an overused phrase. How many people actually ever lose an eye over anything??? Have any of you ever poked your eye out??? In my entire life, I’ve probably seen 4 people wearing an eye patch and I suspect 2 of them were gay and just used it as an affectation. I’ve never seen anyone with a glass eye.

Gemini, I remember shutting down the office early 2(?) years ago when there was that storm that gave us mostly hail and sleet leaving all of the sidewalks like sheets of ice. So I went around the office and stopped in to tell each broker so they could let their teams know and one of them had the audacity to say, “Everyone on my team lives in Manhattan so there’s no way they’re getting away with only working a half day!”

I had to gently remind her that *I* had closed the office and *I* would be letting *her* team know that since the severity of the weather now posed a safety issue I was encouraging them to leave.

It wasn’t even a busy day since almost every other business on the East Coast was closed. She is just one of those miserable such and such who was angry that someone else had made the decision. She didn’t speak to me for weeks, and what lovely weeks they were. Thank god I don’t work there anymore!

Can’t some of you cat lovers just strap a couple of your furry friends on your feet and head and go make snow angels?

MM, congrats on the new gig! Good for you.
