A Moment in My Life

Today I went to lunch with YB and another engineer. It was just the three of us for burgers today. I thought it would be a good time to get to know this engineer a little better, even though I have socialized with him outside of work, and he's a pretty neat guy. He's 22 or 23 maybe, and skinny as a rail. He's the guy you would describe when someone said 'describe an engineer' except he doesn't wear glasses. HA!!HA!!

Anyway, on our way to lunch, I was thinking about Cheater Guy, a guy who was having this "forbidden" love affair with the girl I hate in our office. He still has open projects in our dept. as well as his new department. All of a sudden I blurted out 'I wish I was retarded.' YB and the engineer started laughing hysterically. They were like 'what ARE you talking about?' I told them how CGuy got to do whatever he wanted at all times. He never has to complete anything, and he screws up everything he does. It's so unfair. So then YB said 'If you were retarded, would you want to know it?' That took some thought from all three of us. I think the consensus is that we wouldn't want to know.

The burger place was closed, so we ended up grabbing our food to go (I bought YB lunch today because he treated me last week), and we were on our way back to work. There are some new townhouses along the way that are running about $5-600,000. I told them that if I was going to pay that much money, I wouldn't want a wall connected to someone else's. Basically saying I need a single family home. The engineer said 'It's all about location, location, location.' I then said 'Well, if I wanted to live in that townhouse, I'd just sell my body and be done with it.' Then I rethought that (I almost typed rethunk-I am retarded. hee hee), and said 'I'd be a retarded prostitute.' HA!!HA!! They started laughing again and the engineer said 'That's just sinful.' I said 'No, sinful is the person that would be paying to sleep with me knowing I'm retarded.' Then they both agreed that I'd constantly be getting ripped off because they would give me wads and wads of ones. I'd think I was rich, yet they were only paying 20 bucks. I agreed, and now I have to think of a different way to afford those townhouses.

Why/how do people think like this? I am a nut, I tell ya. This is a day in my life.
