I went to a seminar tonight which was supposed to help me find free lance work, but instead taught me how to find a job in the corporate arena through networking. It was helpful, but it was not exactly what I signed up for.
Funny story...you know when you're sitting in class (or a seminar, in this case) and without fail, there is always "that guy" who has to raise his hand and ask another question or broadcast his brilliance to the crowd? Well, tonight was no exception. The person sitting next to me felt the need to comment on damn near everything the speaker had to say. Whether it was a question or a clarification, it wouldn't stop. It got to the point where it was comical. You saw that hand go up in the air and you knew something ridiculous was about to be said! The best line of the night was, "I've been in therapy for years and I've learned never to take criticism personally." Wow!!
To give you a better idea of what the therapist has to deal with...this person reached into a bag half way through the talk, pulled out a packet of Nicorette gum....AND a retractable box cutter!!! In case you are wondering, it was used to cut the piece of gum from its plastic compartment...SCARY! I decided to keep my facial expressions and my snickering to a minimum after that.
Could this be an idea for our narration project?

This is hysterical. My sister and I would call this "discovering a new sub group". Let me explain, there are certain groups and sub groups of people who bother us like, old people who drive. Now I hope to be an old person one day but yikes. It is frightening to watch. Along with the group of museum-goers who get way too close to millions of dollars worth of ancient art. My mother does that, it drives me crazy I'm pretty sure she scraped off part of a Van Gogh Iris. I'm having heart palpitations thinking about it. This guy whomever he is, is definitely a member of a sub group. Someone who makes our palms sweat a.) because we can't believe this person exists and is out in public, and b.) because we just can't fathom what they will say next. Love it. This could be fun and funny narration.
