Don't we all?
I mean, I don't love being lied to... I love making the liar squirm.
I get joy out of this... is that wrong?
My boss has been lying to me lately.... I have no idea why.
Stupid little lies.
Like, "Hey Earl, did you send that email to Frank or do I need to?"
"Yea I sent it."
And then 20 minutes later getting an email from Frank looking for what Earl said he sent. All it does is make him look bad, I was just trying to help.
Guess I really am still in high school.
The problem is, I know everything that goes on in this building so I kind of know when he's lying. I always make sure to ask the perfect question to make a liar feel like they've been caught. I must say after 32 years of reading people I certainly have learned the game of playing people....
All you have to do is pause, make a face like you're thinking, nod your head and just ask "Really...? Hmph" You can always throw a "That's weird" in there... but the big closer is to just say it and..... walk away.
It's so fun.
Usually I just have to do this with customers trying to scam me, I don't NORMALLY have to deal with my boss lying to my face but hey, it's 2016!!

As the night goes on I keep myself busy. I always do. I'm never one to just sit still. I am not built for a desk job.
Around 8 p.m. I get my notification that I hit my 10,000 steps for the night so I head upstairs to have a cup of tea. I just bought this peach detox. Trying to enhance this new healthy way of life.... I also started back up with my daily 15 minute yoga regiment yesterday. I went right for the big guns and did some warrior one and two, fists of fire, and some awful squat type thing that makes my glutes fire up. Like really on fire... but I digress!
I'm upstairs with my peach detox tea when my phone goes off... Facebook messenger. That's usually my mom so I take a minute. Finish what I'm typing, sip my tea and check the message.
It's not my mom...
It's Erica. My old best friend.
So random.
-Hi there! Are you working in Wareham? I heard Eliza being paged about an hour ago.
-LOL, yes been here since May.
- Well I thought I'd leave it to fate if I ran into you but felt the need to message you anyway. Then I saw Nicole's mom as I was checking out.... Maybe next time!! Happy New Year
So random.
I want to keep the conversation going because I actually do miss her but I don't. I had tried to reconnect with her about a year ago. And then two years prior to that but the conversation was just awkward and forced. Not to mention I was drunk... stupid drunk messages.
No more of those! 28 days since the last binge and honestly, I really don't miss it. I'm actually starting to like me. Life is hard but it's much easier when you have an ally in the mirror.
I was walking across the front of the store earlier and found a note paper on the ground. It was one of those long lined narrow pages that people usually write grocery lists on. This one was blank. All it said on the top was "Life is all about Plan B."
Well, Plan B has been activated. Thanks for the sign Big Guy.
Everything is going to be alright.
