Weird Statement Day…
Coworker
– “You’re glowing…you must be pregnant!”
Miss T.J. – “No, I think my skin is just really oily today.”
Coworker –
“Nope, you’re pregnant.”
Miss T.J.
– “No, I am positive! I am not pregnant!”
Coworker
– “If you say so, but…”
Miss T.J. Interrupting
– “No trust me I’m not pregnant” Internally – I just told the woman I am not pregnant and she still yapping. The one who is pregnant is the “other” one, get it straight.
Set-up scene: Miss T.J. doing work while Christina Aguilera’s current single plays in the background. A coworker stops in to ask a question, before getting distracted…
Coworker
– “Is that the radio?”
Miss T.J.
– “Yes.”
Coworker
– “I love Christina Aguilera I have the CD. I don’t let many people know that.”
Miss T.J.
– “I love Christina as well and I don’t care who knows, the girl can sing.”
Coworker
– “Yes, she can sing – But, I would almost never to folks that I like her.”
Miss
T.J. – “Well, it will be our secret.” Internally – Sorta.

Shiver me timbers…
A true tale-tell sign of "punkdom" is when a 26 year old woman sits
in the movie "Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl" truly scared till the point she is actually covering her face during the fight scenes. This punk is Miss T.J. – My
title has been willingly given away...

Well if you say so...
I just took this quiz and I tend to agree with some of the results,
however if I do, then how can I continue to claim my title of "Ice Queen...Cold-hearted Biatch?" You represent... naivete. So innocent and trusting... you can be very shy at times, but it's only because you're not
sure how to act. You give off that "I need to be protected vibe." Remember that not all people are good. Being too trusting
will get you easily hurt. What feeling do you represent?brought to you by Quizilla

Chivalry ain’t dead…
Over the past week I noticed so many chivalrous acts…Marines (hmmm!!!) changing a woman’s flat tire, a young person
opening the door for an elderly couple, a person offering their umbrella to transport someone to their car and many, many
more. These acts are starting to have me have an optimistic view of the society
we take apart of. I need to rethink this “optimistic view thing” because it might
have others trying to steal my title of “Ice Queen…Cold-hearted Biatch!!!”

Political dilemma…
I will admit there is a political fight going on in my head at the
moment. I am not overly thrilled with any of the democratic hopefuls for the “fight to win America back” – I have an
affinity for Kerry because he was around in Boston when I was. I fully understand his political push and pull. As for Dean, I know plenty of folks like and maybe love him, but as Aaron makes jokes – he does say a lot of the same things that Sharpton says, but he doesn’t have a perm so I guess he may be taken a bit more seriously. And the man (Dean) and his supporters
did raise a butt load of money in a short time (which is impressive…especially “since they didn’t have $2,000 check writers,
like Bush). Gephardt is Gephardt…never did get any warm and fuzzy feelings from him and his politics never wowed me. Actually none of the
nine fighting for the ticket has wowed me, except Ms. Carol. But, Ms. Carol and I have so much in common and I see her as a person who truly understands my life and maybe some of my daily struggles.
Do I see Ms. Carol taking the ticket? Unfortunately no and that is mostly due to our country not being ready for a Black
woman President, just yet. So that leaves me with the feeling of fighting for the least of the worst. Which saddens
me, but I need to take a stand because things need to change. I would love to breathe semi-clear air for the rest of
my life, would love the folks who have been promised a return ticket home to actually come home, I want better senior benefits,
much better health-care options and slew of other things. And if I don’t stand up now and figure out who can get me
some of the things I desire, I shouldn’t complain later.

Australian Secondee drop-by…
“Hey yo – T.J.!…Well,
my boyfriend isn’t getting here until next month and I couldn’t wait so I gotz my party on wit so and so!!! – Peace.” (all
said with an Australian accent)
I have a feeling that
my companies new Australian secondee hasn’t met a Black person before and hence all the slang…but, I still can’t fathom why
the need to share her sexual exploits with me. Do I have the “I need to know
your sex junk!!!” written across my forehead?
Mental note – Check forehead next time in the facilities.

New Digs Conversation…
Parental Unit
(PU): When do you move to your new office?
Miss T.J. (TJ):
Next week.
PU: What
floor will you be on now?
TJ: The
eleventh, it totally sucks!!!
PU: But
aren’t you getting a huge window and isn’t your new office bigger?
TJ: Yes
to both…but, my window, no I should restate my two huge glass doors that give me a direct view of the men’s bathroom. Oh, yeah my days will be filled with endless joy.
PU: If
you were anyone else you might find this situation appealing, but you’re my daughter so I won’t comment any further.
TJ: Thanks
for understanding my absolute saltiness.
PU:
No worries! You will be moving to a new office again in eight months and your new window will be of the DC Metro area…so think
happy thoughts until then.
TJ:
Hey, maybe I will surprise you and hit on some unsuspecting young man as he needs to go relieve himself and due to the urgency
of the situation he may consent…We date, get married, get a slew of kids, and make you the proud grandparent of six.
PU: Mmmph,
you are so not funny. And I KNOW you…you have no patience when it comes to something
new, so it would go something like this: Good whatever, my name is, oh never
mind you suck, I’m going back to work.
TJ: You
do KNOW me…but, since you needed to be all smarty-pants about it, I am going to surprise you.
PU: Looking
forward to it!!!
TJ: Love
you.
PU:
Love you more “removal of embarrassing pet name.”

Secondee teachings...
Openness is everywhere...I accept that some American women feel
the need to share their sexual exploits to other women, even though you may have just met them. I honestly can say that I
didn’t think this practice was commonplace in outer countries. Well, while unexpectantly transporting our companies’ new Australian
secondee to our VA workspace she began to tell me in graphic detail about the men she "frequents" – And silly me, was worried
how she would perceive my car (and me) with its abundance of stuff little furry pigs. Why should I be concerned over something
so minor when getting a lesson (with an accent mind you) about "Tantric Kama Sutra"?

Out of the woodwork…
Man the happenings of my life must be connected to someone’s’ “Telephone” game!!!Folks are coming out of the woodwork asking me when I am going to die and
all that junk. Folks I know who don’t read my weblog or even have the slightest clue what the Internet is and if they
do know, they are afraid to use it. So someone is out there spreading my life issues around (if it is YOU – stop until
I give you something juicy to spread around).For those of you who will continue to
believe the unvalidated nonsense,
here are all the answers to your annoying questions: 1. Am I going to die? – YES! 2. When will I die? – I
don’t know, but we all die a little bit each day. 3. Do I have the C - NHL? – I don’t know and won’t know until
tomorrow, so stop wishing it upon me. I know I can be quite unruly but no need to rush me into sickness just yet. 4. What
does the treatment entail and will you…? I don’t know!!! 5. How are you REALLY feeling? - I am FINE, but
you starting to ruin my HIGH, so stop asking so many stupid questions.

Welcome to the neighborhood…
We have new neighbors and we would really love to welcome them to
our humble little street…but how do you welcome someone you never see? We can’t just leave them a cake on their doorstep
and they don’t have a mailbox to leave a card in. What is the welcome committee to do? Should we take shifts and stalk
them until we see that they are home or make a 1:00 AM drop by. The dilemma we are in!!! The dilemma!!!

Waterhole invasion...
I figured today would be a good day to venture back to my favorite
place and stick my head back in the blue until I finished...
The water was rushing perfectly behind me, the sun was shining and
I felt my pasty legs getting darker and there wasn't anyone in sight. I am a happy camper...but wait, the limos, the
cameras, the people, wedding dresses, screaming kids, yelling mothers, yelling fathers, pink dresses, blue dresses, tuxedos
and caterers emerge onto my serenity like P. Diddy just turned my favorite place into a "Justin's" restaurant - What the heck is going on???
Photo shoots for a couples' wedding and a girls' quincera. As pretty as
everyone was, I couldn't concentrate with little boys jumping up and down behind my head screaming, little girls trying to
steal my "Where the Wild Things Are" tote-bag and parents crying about how beautiful their children are. I had to leave my favorite place to the well-dressed
and go vent through the blog.
Maybe I will try and stick my head back in the blue at the other spot...

Counseling is needed...
I feel as though I am experiencing another B2K moment…Bow Wow is all growed up!!! I saw a picture of him with his hair all cut off and I stopped from a moment and thought what a
hottie. Then I realized that I just lusted after a teenage boy. I need help and I need it now!!!
