You guys. You would have thought they asked us to build the phones from scratch using only objects found in the room. Within 10 minutes, people, mostly with their glasses pulled down to edge of their noses, were tapping their screens with excessive force, turning their phones around to examine the backs of them like they weren't quite sure which way to hold the device, and saying things like "how do you know when it's on?" Finally the woman started promising everyone one by one that she would come around to each office later and help folks individually. And THAT right there is how I know I chose the correct profession for myself.
And now, your Pictures and Distractions.

ReplyDeleteHow is it possible that you can look that ridiculously good while running?! I think I'm a reasonably attractive person, but when I run I become hideous and from my race pictures apparently very angry.
ReplyDeleteThe trick is that when you see the camera people you do all in your power to pose and make running look as effortless as possible.
DeleteYou keep promising pictures of your amazing pecs and abs, but we only see far away ones, covered by layers of clothing. When do we get another one like the "terrorist bomb" one?
DeleteYou brag about your hair, and I mean, you should really continue with that (your hair is looking fabulous today), but also have you seen your teeth!? They are so white and straight! I saw your post race picture and had some major teeth envy.
ReplyDeleteI was just thinking the same thing! Seriously, those teeth are perfect.
DeleteTeeth on point Eli.
DeleteHair and teeth on fleek.
DeleteUkraine is spelled correctly... whoever applied the letters just stuck the 'n' on upside down. And yes, the race picture has to be staged!! No one looks that good in a race picture!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you remembered to wear pants for the 1/2 marathon. Good job.
ReplyDeleteNow did you remember to take out the trash this week?
The cat on the fan is really funny!
ReplyDeleteOf course the N is upside down, whoever made it was probably a bit pianni :-)
