When Will I Learn

Most of the chaos in my work life comes from overhearing one end of a phone call or a question that I just need not overhear. The comment I overheard yesterday was made by my spokesmodel T and she said to a retiree, "you're 87 years old, why are you payin' child support?" I said to myself - "oh shit, here we go!" In my shiny new performance evaluation criteria it specifies that I am not to make the newspapers. Damn, my shrink used to tell me that too.
