Seventeen Twitter Tweets
Originally, I had it titled “Twenty Twitter Tweets About Today,” but realized that “about” didn’t need to function as a segue between “Twitter” and “Today”. Then, as I approached nine, I realized how difficult it would be to hit my ambitious original goal of twenty, especially since I don’t want things like: “Where are my socks”, or “Now merging.”
No, I figured it would be more entertaining for my readers, (and more fun for me to write), if I simply highlighted the pieces of my day that stood out.
“Woke up twelve minutes before my alarm was supposed to do that for me – thank you Austin Waste Removal.”
“Just made a half-dead lap around my apartment in search of the excuse for doing exactly that. Early birds don’t fly straight.”
“Reached for a light switch that is normally to the left of my sink, and now resides twelve hours north in my old [old] apartment.”
“Two towels to dry off because sometimes one just isn’t enough.”
“Who left the seat down?!”
“Only five emails on a Monday?! Call tech support, something is wrong with the network.”
“Sometimes the short-cut key to send emails can be a bad thing…especially if you don’t get the delay that spell-check sometimes provides.”
“Run-on sentence…run on.”
“DND”
“Grrr said the empty stomach as I reached for the [empty] box of Cheez-Its in my desk. Grrr, said I and put it back.”
“Is it obvious when I’m laughing at my computer screen that I’m not working?”
“I frogot hwo two spell in my e-males.”
“Please see below fro an updated prewf. THanks, Rss.”
“With two monitors, I thought I could run two programs at once…touché Windows XP. Touché.”
“Why didn’t my home-ec teacher “teach” us how to effectively microwave a lunch? I know most of my teachers had to…and, now I am.”
“It smells like fear in the men’s room.”
“Cough e break.”
And, a good day to you.
