I love my job

I love my job. One of the things I love the most about it is the stories I hear on a daily basis. By stories I mean, creative versions of the facts surrounding an incident or situation. In other words people lie to me but not your normal lies, you know like… no that looks fabulous on you or I love you or it’s not you, it’s me.

Nope the lies I get are either really creative or not at all creative.

On the creative lies I think WOW, that is a really good story I may have to remember that one and the non creative ones I’m thinking oh come on aren’t you even going to try to put any effort into this at all?

Now I do try to remain un jaded and not think that everything people tell me is an out and out lie. But believe me the, I know you’re lying to me because your lips are moving joke isn’t a joke some days.

As to the creative stories I sometimes think do they wonder if I believe what they are telling me or do they know that I pretty much know that everything they are saying isn’t even remotely true. Hell the truth isn’t even in the same time zone as what they are selling.

Any sentence that starts with …Well that’s because… is most likely not going to be followed by a completely true statement.

Really the truth is like a spice that they add to the story to give it just enough credit to make you want to listen to more.

Some times I think you know it might save a lot of time if I just say, let me stop you there, now let’s back up and go from the beginning with more truth and less fiction. Ok ready …go…, Well that’s because… Ok try again … Well the truth is… not going to be following that lead into a story

Then there comes that point in the conversation when you have to delicately tell them you don’t believe anything that they have told you.

I just say well there are two versions of the story or more and there is no way for me to really know what has happened because I wasn’t there when it happened. What I do know is this and I have to do this so what we are going to do now is this, fill in the blanks with what ever I’m asking them to do

It seems to work and I think that many of them really think that I have bought their line because they will stick to it through out the course of time I have to work with them.


In other news

There is a new GI Joe movie. The trailer looks pretty good and I know the first one wasn’t the best movie ever but it was good enough to see on the big screen.

Well, that’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow most likely
