Occasionally it occurs to me that it might, just possibly might be the slightest bit of a trial for my coworkers to put up with me.
Today at work one of the managers said "Hi Isaac, how ya doing?" I replied with a mild giggle like a crazy person might give, indicating moderate insanity. She said something like, "Oh, well then!" and went on her way.
Two and a half minutes later she again said, "Hello Isaac, how ya doing?" Really?
"You already asked that question and I already answered it."
"No I didn't."
"Yes you did. You don't remember?"
"I did not say that!"
"You don't remember my answer?"
"Oh yeah, the creepy little giggle..."
So for the rest of the day at work today I have been walking up to her and saying "Howdy Denise, my name is Isaac" as though we have just met for the first time... or as though one of us has no memory of the other.
After I got done with my job I saw her on my way out. I said, "Howdy Denise, my name is..." (she glared at me) "Uh... mud, my name is mud. Excuse me, I'm just... um... going to get some distance..."
Sometimes I think maybe I should request prayer for my coworkers, that they will be able to find the patience. Then sometimes I think maybe my purpose in life is to teach other people patience.
