Friday, October 03, 2003 ( 1:14 PM ) Melody Friendly Office Banter It's always lovely when someone you dislike compliments you on how much weight you've lost, then steps back, squints his eyes at you, and exclaims, "Gosh! It's like you're a completely different person!" Don't get me wrong. I can accept a compliment. I appreciate compliments. This guy just happens to be kind of a jerk. His tone was more like, "Wow. You used to be grotesquely obese, and suddenly you look, well, NORMAL to me." Plus, he has a reputation for delivering back-handed insults under the guise of congeniality. And anyway, it's not as if he hasn't had months to get this out of his system. He comments EVERY time he sees me. Hello. I've been this size and shape for about 4 months now. Out of my office, asswipe. And don't call me Mel. Only people I like call me that. It's OK. You guys can call me Mel. Wow. Mel is a raging bitch today. # |
