Captain Obvious...do you know one?

THIS!

This little cartoon cracks me up.  My co-worker / friend made this.  We giggle about it often.  So if you work in a small office I'm sure you feel my pain here.

I never understood the need to point out the obvious.  I mean, I obviously KNOW that I'm making copies etc...  It's not like I'm standing there asleep unaware of what I'm doing?!

If you've been reading my blog over the past 2 years, you have heard me mention that I am a Capricorn.  Capricorns are very serious about their work!  I do not feel the need to fill awkward silence with silly comments.  I don't mind the silence.  In fact I WELCOME it.  :)

Do you work with, or know a "Captain Obvious"?  Tell me about in the comments!

Finish This! 20th edition

This is a fun game we play EVERY Wednesday!  Our awesome co-hosts come up with questions for us to answer and then we get to read everyone's responses!  I am linking up through:

Nicole @ Three 31 http://nicoleandkevin.wordpress.com/

Lisa @ Coastlined http://lisadenoia.com/

Jen @ The Arizona Russums http://www.theazrussums.com/

Becky @ The Java Mama http://www.thejavamama.com/

So let's get answering!


I am most serious about........  Well by nature (Capricorn), I am serious about almost everything.  LOL  But I guess if I had to pick one thing it would be music.  Yep...I know that you knew I was going to say that, right?!  I love music.  All kinds.  Can not live with out it.




I am most relaxed when...... I am so predictable.  But for real, I am most relaxed when I am by the ocean.  I call it my therapy session.  Try it sometime!  Sitting in my chair, toes in the sand and just listening to the waves roll it.  It puts me in a trance.




There's no place like..... home.  Even though I like to vacation at the ocean, it's always nice to come back to the place you call home.  When we're away that usually means I am away from my 4-legged kiddos and I miss them when I'm gone!  And whether I am gone for 20 minutes, or a week they miss me just as much.  You gotta love it!



Now it is your turn!  Tell me how you would answer these in the comments below!

Prompt for WEEK 37 — September 17
I’m the type of person who
My favorite joke or riddle is
All that really matters is

Ashley Bridget - bracelet love!

Aren't they pretty?  I saw these advertised on Facebook and fell in love with the white one (Escapes).  When I went to order it I also saw the the black "Capricorn" sign bracelet.  I had to get both and it came with a sweet discount off so I couldn't resist.

I have very small wrists.  In fact so small that most watches and bracelets are so big that they fall off when I put my arm down.  So when I find a bracelet that actually fits me, I get very excited!!  There are adjustable lengths.

The only thing about these is they are hard to put on by yourself.  I have a "bracelet buddy" and it's even hard to put on with that.  I had to have my husband help me clasp it.  LOL!  But other than that I love them!

Times flies!  Can't believe it's time for another 'finish this'!  Like every week, I am linking up through:

Nicole @ Three 31 http://nicoleandkevin.wordpress.com/

Let's do this!

It's never too late......  to accomplish bucket list items.  I totally just did this last weekend.  My family and I took a 5-hour comprehensive kayaking course!  It was fun and we had a blast.

I compare myself to others..... way too much.  I don't know why we're so hard on ourselves.  We are our own worst enemies.  I'm constantly comparing myself to others and I wish I wouldn't.   

My personality is...... quiet...for the most part.  Until you get to know me, then I open up a lot more.  I'm a Capricorn, so sometimes I might come off as aloof, but I'm not really....just reserved I guess.  :)

I can........ do customer service like nobody's business!  For real.  I think I can do my job with my eyes closed. But I am totally burning out.  I hate being on the phone anymore and I would love to work in a room all by myself.  hehe

I embrace change......  not too well sometimes.  Not sure if it's the Capricorn in me or what.  I like having a schedule and like to know what is coming next.  When things fall out of plan I get a little weird.  LOL!

I'm so glad that Spring is finally here!  I can see the trees starting to bud and it makes me very happy!  

It's time for another Finish This!  A link up I participate in by fellow bloggers:

1)  My favorite makeup item is...

AVON tinted moisture - I LOVE this stuff!  It has sunscreen in it, which is very important.  It's very light for summer-time.  I even wear it in the winter I love it so much!  I was so bummed when I heard they do not make this anymore.  I'll have to hunt down a new brand to love when I'm finished with this tube.  booooo!

2)  The best book I've ever read was ______ because....

I can't choose just one.  My favorite author was Sylvia Browne (RIP).  I loved reading all her books.  They just spoke to me.  She passed away a few months ago.  :(

3)  My favorite TV show is....

I know I can't be alone when I say SOA!  (Son's of Anarchy)  OH MAN I love this show!  When I had my gall bladder out in March I totally binged watched Season 1 through 6 while I was off work.  LOL!  Can't wait till it starts back up again in September.

4)  The most spontaneous thing I've ever done is.....

Well, I'm a Capricorn, so spontaneous doesn't really describe us too well!  But if I had to name something, it was signing up to train and run a 1/2 marathon with my best friend.  (Don't have to do THAT again!!)

5)  I prefer dogs/cats because.....

There is no doubt that I am a dog person.  Nothing against cats...guess I'm just not a cat person!  I grew up having dogs and I've had them my whole adult life.  <3

6)  I met my significant other.....

AT WORK!  yuck!  haha!  I was good friends with his cousin and she introduced us.  He moved on to another job, but I am still there 20 some years later.  (what is wrong with me?!?!?)

So, now it's YOUR turn!  How would you answer these questions?

Join me next week when we explore these questions:

My last growing pain was...
I grow and nurture...
The guilt-free snack I enjoy most....
The best reason to stay up all night....

Work stuff

Oh yes….that one co-worker that gets under your skin.  I have one.  I’m sure you do as well.  I am not a mean person, (honest!) but this person talks a lot….about NOTHING.  From the moment they come in till they leave at the end of the day.   Maybe it is just where I am getting these doses of nonsense chatter.  Maybe it would be different if I wasn’t at work?  I don’t know. 

But for those that don’t know me well, I was born under the sun sign of Capricorn.  Capricorns are very serious about their work.  I mean SERIOUS.  Not much time for small talk or nonsense chatter.  I want to do my work.  I mean don’t get me wrong, I let loose and talk every now and again.  (LOL)  But for the most part I could do my job with little interaction from any other humans (except the people talking to me on the other end of my phone).  I guess that is why Capricorns might come off as “aloof” or “snobby”.  I’m not really either of those things, I’m just working. 

So now that you know this about me, the endless “Are we having fun yet?” or “I’m having way too much fun, someone please make it stop!” can really just drive me to start drinking at work (I would not do that by the way).   Then there are times where they must share about what every customer said to them.  Why?  I have heard the same scenarios about 50 times over the course of my career here. LOL

Anyway, you get the picture.  We all have annoying people we must work with.  Perhaps my quiet manner or aloofness gets on other peoples nerves.  Who knows!

Now shut it, I’m trying to work.  J
