10 minutes or less

Today I must write my blog post in ten minutes or less because I have a student conference at 3pm and another five before 5pm. I also have thirty papers to grade that are late getting back and I have a snotty email from someone asking for a list of something. I forget what. Friggin gainful employment. I do not like it.

So today instead of writing anything useful I'll just tell you that I threw a hissy fit this afternoon when I ordered a chicken sandwich with lettuce, no tomato - and walked away with a tuna sandwich LOADED WITH RAW ONIONS* and tomatoes, with no lettuce on the opposite kind of bread I ordered. The hissy fit involved violence and I will not describe it to you because it's embarrassingly childish. Hint: I am no longer out of cat food.

Oh and here's a picture of something that has no relevance at all, just because whatever. I took it in Peru.



See you tomorrow.



* I will DIE with a smile before I will eat bananas or raw onions. Call me a spoiled brat if you want but I GAG when I so much as SMELL these items.

This is really strange, but that photo you took in Peru looks just
like the Gorge river in New Mexico
where I live. I agree with Sizzle, bananas? What happened to you when you were a child with bananas? :-)

I like raw onions. They really don't do much for the breath, but they taste delicious.

I don't like raw onions - and bananas I only like slightly green, but not so green that they leave that weird residue in your mouth, kind of gritty or something. Anyway, that's amazing just how wrong that sandwich order was. Did you feed it to cat-head? I really think cat-head rocks.

screw the suckas --make 'em eat the onions during the conferences!

I would LOVE to go to Peru.

Oh, and I don't mess with bananas either. Uh uh. And while I used to feel similarly about raw onions, I all of the sudden love them. Very strange... My BIG no go is mayonnaise.

I bet you have a price. I bet you would eat a banana for...$750.

Glad to know we share a love of Will.

Pretty picture.

Bananas? Eh. They make good pudding.

But eating a hamburger without raw onions makes me very sad.

No bananas? Very unique. I admit I have not heard that before. I did get very very sick once when I was a child, by eating too many bananas.

No thank you to rounded onions of any color. Yuck.

Don't give your cat onions! They are very toxic to cats. Don't make Fluffy pay for the asshat's mistake. Instead, be mature and go into their bathroom and get wads of toilet paper wet and throw them at the ceiling till they stick. That's how us mature girls have our hissy fits. I hate bananas too.

Avitable said...

Now does your hatred extend to things that resemble bananas?

Sometimes we just need to throw a hissy fit. And that photo is beautiful. Thank you for throwing it in!

I'm OK with onions but am right there with you on the banana thing. Gag. I keep them in the house only because my children eat them.
