Lil miss bossy pants

So today I (ace) was ORDERED to write a blog post. It was not a suggestion, not a question... nope an order.

Jammie: "Ace, you are writing the next post"
I replied: "but what if I do not have anything interesting to write about?"
Jammie: "write about how this morning you woke up with wrinkles and gray hair."
Ace thinking really hard of an evil thing to say in reply... still thinking...
Jammie: "oh wait that was me."

I thought that might have been some joke aimed at the fact that I am now starting the last year of my cool 20's and my impending doom of adulthood and some age starting with a 3 and ending with a Zero is just 365 days away. Thankfully she did not go there.

So here is my post on absolutely nothing... nothing interesting is happening. I'm year older. I'm thinking it will be november before I thaw out from the cold wisconsin weather. I've spent more time with family in the past 2 weeks than in the past 5 years combined. And I am still jobless (well, full-time job-less). So yeah.. how interesting is that? Not really.

But when Jammie demanded that I write the next post something came to mind and I thought I might put it out there for the blogging community to respond... have you ever noticed that Jammie is a little bossy? I mean I am seriously her elder now as I am reaching that coming of age point (some say that is 13... I say 30 is the new 13). I think I deserve a little... R.E.S.P.E.C.T. and I can tell ya what that means to me... and it aint getting told what to do by a lil miss bossy pants. I mean I have the depth and wealth of knowledge that comes with the passing of time... if anyone could flaunt their power by quippy demanding statements, I think it should be the older wiser of the Ace/Jammie duo. I'm just saying my perspective here. But I think others might have encountered similar situations. Like have you had any of the following statements thrown your way?

-Hey woman, answer your phone.
-Hey (insert name here), get in here. (usually referring to someone passing her office door and being called inside)
-Hey woman, get up we are going on a hike. (usually at 8:30am)
- Where is your six-collumn model? (if you get that one... run!)

Wait a second... I think she only says this stuff to me. I think she only bosses me around! Why am I the weak one that she preys upon? Is it because I smell like rancid meat?

Random post about nothing is officially done.

  1. I believe that I should probably argue with this post and say that I am, in fact, not bossy. Instead, I'm going to blame it on genetics and environmental factors. Yes, I'm going to call it socially constructed bossiness. :)

  2. Jammie,
    A wise man once gave me the following advice:

    "So you're an old bossy-pants, eh? Only one thing you can do. Change your pants."

  3. Um.. 2 for 4 of those ain't bad (and at least one of the other two could probably almost apply, only they begin with "Hey, woman".
    Yup, I've noticed it, too...

  4. Jammie a "little" bossy? Hmmmm, I guess so...in the sense that the ocean is a "little" wet, and the universe is a "little" large, and bacon is a "little" tasty.
