Tonight I'll be your naughty girl.

raybearRecent random realizations about myself; or, at least, things I've been thinking lately.
1. When talking, I often start sentences with "Actually...." I don't know where this came from or if I like it. Most anything I overuse is inherently a bad habit in some way. Somehow it seems presumptuous, like starting a sentence with "more importantly...."
2. I was definitely married in a recent past life. To a woman. Okay, statistically this isn't that astounding of a statement, because, assuming one believes in past-lives, there are probably more people in the world married than not. But there's not a neat way to describe these recent flashes I've had that go beyond deja vu and have such specific sensations, so we'll just leave it at that for now.
3. I really don't like talking on the phone at work. I get distracted and agitated for no apparent reason. No matter who it is, really, work-related or not, though I do better with some people than others and I definitely do better if I know it will be a short call with a specific goal. So if I've ever acted weird on the phone when you've talked to me for more than 30 seconds, I can't exactly explain why, but I can say it's nothing personal. I can't believe I used to work the help desk once a week. Of course, maybe being out of the habit of using the phone at work has contributed to the problem.
4. I have a problem keeping stupid workplace drama to myself. The more lame and inane and incompetent the actions of the person, the more I feel compelled to share it. Not a very healthy or accepting attitude, I know. Though nowadays if I just let myself tell one person, I stop obsessing about it. Which I finally did to NextDoor Coworker and now I don't need to write about it here. But you know, three guesses as to who it involved and the first two don't count. And man, I know this karma will bite me back in the ass someday.
5. I can't remember the fifth. Maybe it had something to do with my diminishing memory capacity.
