I should know better, but I don't

I'm still, on a very reall level amazed by people. Especially in the work place.
I'm amazed at the time spent, spinning yarns and gossiping.
I have no interest in expressing my personal opinions about my coworkers b/c they are my thoughts, they are not meant for professional discussion.
But it's always interesting to me to walk into a room and find I am the topic of gossip.
My Shoes - I'm wearing cute dressy Burkenstocks b/c my back is bother me today and all of my team are traveling, so I can dress comfortably. I was labeled a hippy today - nothing could be further from the truth and I have my 17 year old Nordies Credit Card to prove it.
My knowledge - I read, I watch the news, I'm educated. I'm always asking questions, listening, wanting to learn more. I was called a know-it-all today b/c I knew to ask the caterer if they had a kosher kitchen.

Neither instance, to my face - I walked in on it.

To all those who feel they need to make commentary on anyone in a vain that is unproductive - enjoy. Yes, I care, I don't like to be spoken about like that behind my back - you don't like something I do - tell me, don't be a coward.

Maybe I'll use multi-sylable words today =)

Sass of the day

It's Lent - for you non Catholics - it's the 40 days before the death and resurrection of Jesus.
If you need more info - google it, I'm not your mother.
In observance: Catholics don't eat meat on Fridays - fish only

The consultants catered in BBQ for themselves and the one I know invited me to join.
I remembered the Lent thing and said "oh, man, it's lent"
Consultant I Don't Know: "Oh, so don't eat it"
Me: "Yeah, it's a busy day, I need some protein"
CIDK: "you don't need meat for protein, vegetarians do it"
Me: "True but if God wanted me to be Vegetarian, he wouldn't have made cows taste so good"
