Liam broke my “p”

If I miss a few "p's", you'll know why.  I can't seem to type as fast as I have to hit the rubber thing just right.  Silly kid got his finger under the key and popped it out, breaking one of the prongs.  We have a couple on order that should be here in a week or so.  Luckily, the "p" is a little used letter.

Mind your "P's and Q's".  Where did that come from, anyway?  Does anyone say it anymore?  I've heard it a few times and always wonder what's a P and what's a Q?

Sometimes I'm just appalled at people's manners or the lack there of.  Now, I'm not the nicest person by a far stretch.  Most of it is unintentional or maybe because I'm looking for the quickest or easiest route and have a different focus.  I generally don't go out of my way to be nice to people, but I'm not intentionally rude.  When someone is rude to me, I don't quite know what to do.  It takes me a little while to process it and figure out a correct response.

I was in Joanne's the other day buying some Kona.  I went up to take a ticket for their cutting area.  Someone near the cutting area said, "We're just standing here" meaning that they hadn't taken a ticket and were waiting in line.  I asked the woman cutting, "Oh, are you not doing tickets right now?"  She said that they were and then the person said, "Well then, I guess you're number two!" which was the next number.  Just the tone of it was so off.  I didn't quite know how to respond, so I didn't.  It's one of those things where I didn't want to just say anything because the person was so off.

I think I need to work on not being more aware of my words and actions and how others perceive me.  Something to think about.
