The work week almost passed without me cursing at work. Sadly, I blew it. After my colleague and I were treated rudely during a conference call in which we requested some basic information, I accidentally said something bad.
"I don't know why she had to be so nasty," Colleague sighed as he hung up the phone.
"It's because everyone who works there is a fucking asshole," I replied without thinking. It just came out. I cringed. "Oh, sorry about that. I probably should watch what I say."
"Well, it's true," he nodded. (And he's right - this particular organization has a reputation for being conceited and obnoxious.)
"Damn, I almost made it through the whole week without cursing at work," I laughed.
"I'm probably just rubbing off on you," Colleague apologized, which was pretty much the funniest thing anyone has said to me this week.
Later, I called someone a shithead. It felt good to be myself.

Penn & Teller Bullshit did a piece once on cursing. It was great. I wonder if it is on Youtube or Google?
ReplyDeleteDamn, Suzanne! I had higher hopes for you getting through the week without using any fucking swear words.
ReplyDeleteHumph. And you looked like such a Puritanical young lady.
