When are Jean shorts gonna make a comeback?
Today’s date is 90210. Tell the Brenda or Dylan in your life how much you love them.
So now I can make phone calls to anyone directly from my computer for free! It’s pretty cool and really easy to use. Thanks Gmail! (I just hope Google isn’t recording each conversation in their hopes to rule the world.)
This week at work I went and bought some chicken wings for lunch. I brought them back to work to eat, but upon returning I realized I had forgotten to get hot sauce!! I was so mad, because everyone knows that wings aren’t good without hot sauce. Luckily I work with a bunch of black women so I was in luck of getting some. I asked one of them if they had any hot sauce. She said, “I think so. Let me check.” She looked into her drawer but she couldn’t find any. “Sorry I don’t have any.” I looked at her and said surprisingly but jokingly, “Really??” She replied back, “Why, you think just ‘cuz I’m black I have to have some hot sauce??!!” Then we both laughed and I asked my other black co-worker for some. She had a whole stash of it in her office.
The point of this true story of mine is that if you show love and respect to your friends and co-workers, it’s ok to make fun of each other’s stereotypes. Usually you have to figure out who you can and cannot joke with first by judging their sense of humor. I think if everyone was open with one another about their preconceived notions about other races and cultures, there would be less racial tension in the world today.
So I bought some comfortable nursing shoes called “Danskos.” The only problem is that they make me like 6’7” or 6’8” when I wear them. I’m probably going to scare all my patients!
