The awkward moment when....

……..when you know the Grand Prize of the Bass Tournament will surely not be yours......

I worked in new construction for 19 years. Unless you're taking a drive, you have nothing but porta johns that are serviced once a week and sometimes some jerk will come along and swipe the TP the day after they are serviced. I tend to keep a roll in the truck just in case even now because even though I work for myself in existing homes occasionally I come across work in a vacant home where whomever vacated it wasn't kind enough to even leave a partial roll behind.

Guys, I have a date on Friday night.

I'm sure there will be a lot of awkward moments and until then, I will fill you in on all the awkwardness of it.

I'm thinking your date will be, love at first sight, marriage in 6 months, and 3 kids in 4 years. Crazy. Enjoy being swept off your feet.

O.k. back to awkward moments. Going to the year end holiday party at work. Argh! Talk about awkward. Every time I go, no matter what company, how good or bad the environment is, it's just weird.

ArtsieSteph's moment reminded me of why I am reluctant to text. There is nothing like sending out a text and signing it, "hugs, Deb", and finding out that what you actually sent was a text that said "jugs, Deb". Needless to say my friend was gracious enough to share the story with everyone on Facebook. I wore that name for waaaaay too long. Blush.

My favorite are the texts that make me look like I was having a stroke. Yay auto correct.

Yeah, we gotta put up with each other enough at w*rk. We shouldn't have to pretend to be sociable too. And we don't even get paid for it...

Transcript for people who are paranoid about clicking links, even to well known comic strips:
BOSS: We're having a department bowling night tomorrow. It's my way of rewarding all of you for your performance this quarter.
DILBERT: We hate doing things together at night.
BOSS: I wasn't happy with your performance.

That awkward moment when someone calls you their future ex-wife .

No u didnt! 🙈

Gross.

How was the end-of-the-year party?!

Story. Of. My. Life.

Autocorrect is lame, but yet better than my own spelling. I’ll just have to accept the evil, yet amusing, involuntary humor I produce by keeping autocorrect ready and willing😁🤗.

Just relax and enjoy yourself. You're not a novice at dating so I'm sure that things will go fine.

It must be the end of the fiscal year where you work. We used to celebrate ours on July 1.

Auto correct keeps changing "sinning" to "winning". Is it trying to tell me something?

Maybe it's saying you have to sin to win?

Last one I went to was in 2017. No comment. What happened to the old saying, "don't mix business with pleasure?"


So, I'm guessing it didn't go so well?!?! Well, I was trying to help.

Haha, it went alright. And no, thanks for helping

Let's just say I'm not planning to move forward with him

I heard an awesome sermon by Doug Bachelor again, I might be his biggest fan. Is there such a thing as a fan club for a pastor?!?!

Anyways, he said, keep your treasures in heaven, so it doesn't get stolen. God is our treasure! I don't know, Doug just says things that make sense to me. To each his own I presume.

Better luck next time on Mr. Right.

I will share an awkward moment. So, I went to Lowes, and said, your debit/credit card machines for paying for merchandise are all messed up. For whatever reason, that day they switched to insert your debit card with the chip. Previously it has always been swipe for debit. Wasn't my proudest moment, but it could of been worse.
