Overused phrases at work I don’t like.

July 2, 2022July 2, 2022 ~ Hetty Eliot ~ 28 Comments

I had no supervision today, and instead of working hard, I made a short list of phrases I hear people at work say all the time. A few of these are pretty universal, others are endemic to my workplace. "In full transparency." As anyone who has ever held a job might expect, this phrase spoken … Continue reading Overused phrases at work I don’t like.

She’s at it again.

June 25, 2022June 25, 2022 ~ Hetty Eliot ~ 68 Comments

Yes, her, who else? (In case you don't know, the chain of command in the department store where I work is that I'm the lowly administrative assistant, my manager is the office/business manager, and her manager, the boss, is the store manager. My manager, for some inexplicable reason, is best friends with the boss. However, … Continue reading She’s at it again.

Guys, make me feel better.

June 19, 2022June 19, 2022 ~ Hetty Eliot ~ 59 Comments

I generally don't talk about my family or loved ones out of respect for them because they don't know about this blog or aren't allowed to read it if they do. So I'll be as vague as I can, though I must add some details. I know estrangements happen in every family. My sister and … Continue reading Guys, make me feel better.

Love hurts, oh yes it does.

June 11, 2022June 11, 2022 ~ Hetty Eliot ~ 50 Comments

Love hurts, that's what everyone says. And it's true, love and loss never seem to be otherwise than intertwined. Even the most beautiful beginnings contain the seeds of loss. Hold on to beautiful moments, hold them in your mind like precious photographs that you have no other copy or negative of. Don't feel too bad … Continue reading Love hurts, oh yes it does.

Okay, I’m really gonna try to kick the scrolling habit this time.

May 31, 2022 ~ Hetty Eliot ~ 69 Comments

So as many of you know, I have a bit of an Internet addiction. I spend hours a day either on my phone, tablet, or computer scrolling through nonsense. I've written about this here and here. Sad to say, the only progress I have made since then is getting off Reddit. I did this by … Continue reading Okay, I’m really gonna try to kick the scrolling habit this time.

Just wanna say hi

May 24, 2022 ~ Hetty Eliot ~ 107 Comments

Haven't been the most prolific blogger as of late, so I thought, why don't I pop in, say hi, and get back in the game? So, hi. Sometimes I feel embarrassed about posting because I don't want people to get annoyed with an email or notification. In fact, I'm sitting here right now wondering if … Continue reading Just wanna say hi

Just a little girl-talk about hair…

May 2, 2022 ~ Hetty Eliot ~ 61 Comments

Why do people care so much about other people's hair? The other day, I got my hair done, as many people do every so often, and suddenly I became worthy of being fawned over. I didn't change my makeup, or my clothes, or my personality, or anything, just freshened up my hairstyle. People are always … Continue reading Just a little girl-talk about hair…

Sort of memory of a sort of friendship.

March 29, 2022 ~ Hetty Eliot ~ 58 Comments

From time to time someone will pop into your head and you wonder whatever happened to them. And then you google them. Yes, you do, don't deny it. Memory is like the studio of a dishonest photographer, cluttered with altered photos he will proudly show the ego--and half-developed ones that might have told the truth. … Continue reading Sort of memory of a sort of friendship.

If I never hear the words “social distancing” again…..

March 24, 2022March 24, 2022 ~ Hetty Eliot ~ 54 Comments

.....I will be just fine. UPDATE: March 24, 2022. Two years. Still hearing it. Still hating it. Although less and less thank God. Dunno why I always remember the date of this post. I am sick right now. Would be funny if I had covid again exactly a year later. Am I fine? Probably not. … Continue reading If I never hear the words “social distancing” again…..

Meanwhile, at the ant farm…

March 22, 2022March 22, 2022 ~ Hetty Eliot ~ 58 Comments

UPDATE: I totally forgot this part but it perfectly illustrates how the boss thinks of the associates. Let's say she doesn't like "John" (because John probably is over fifty-five and keeps his head down because he's, you know, working). She'll refer to all associates she doesn't like collectively as "the Johns." Isn't that nice? Many … Continue reading Meanwhile, at the ant farm…

Aaahahahahahahahaha

February 7, 2022February 7, 2022 ~ Hetty Eliot ~ 65 Comments

Now, I'm supposed to be on a break but I have to share this with you because it's just too funny. During my check-in with my supervisor, she asked me what she could do to help me further my career goals. We are on very friendly terms and have a good rapport, so it's a … Continue reading Aaahahahahahahahaha

Need to take a break.

February 5, 2022 ~ Hetty Eliot ~ 50 Comments

I decided that I've got to take a bit of a hiatus from here. It's not because of my job--despite making less money than if I were to volunteer, my job is fairly decent right now. I would never allow my job the satisfaction of getting in the way of my blog. I just can't … Continue reading Need to take a break.

“Who the Hell Knows?” turns 2

January 23, 2022January 27, 2022 ~ Hetty Eliot ~ 54 Comments

Yes, friends, on this very day the micropimple blog known as "Who the Hell Knows?" turns two years old. I try to avoid looking at my actual blog as much as possible so I'm not actually certain whether the title has a "?" or not at the end. Let me know. (Apparently it does have … Continue reading “Who the Hell Knows?” turns 2

I finally did something intelligent…

January 9, 2022May 30, 2022 ~ Hetty Eliot ~ 75 Comments

I deleted the Reddit app off my phone.* There was a bridge too far for me which prompted this, and I wrote out a whole screed as to why I did this, but it was very political. And I hate talking about politics. When I tell people that, (if they know) they say "But I … Continue reading I finally did something intelligent…
