Today while participating in some work sponsored reprogramming training, we were herded into groups of three to play reindeer games and asked to flip chart our responses.
Our first task was to each write a word on the chart expressing how we felt about some looming changes to our work methods.
I wrote the word anxious and handed the marker to one of my compatriots. He started to write something and stopped. I want to write apprehensive but I don't know how to spell it he said. It's with two pees I told him. He stammered, but I don't know what comes after that and so I spelled the rest of it for him.
I was sure this would be the saddest thing that happened to me all day until the other gentle mental giant took marker in hand and meekly asked Do you know how to spell cautious?

I still would like a job there and am available for interviews anytime. I can spell.
Also? FIRST!
You may be the first and last! I write here only when I think nobody's looking!
I-R-O-N-Y.
I hate these work related feel-good sessions with the passion of a thousand suns!
Ugh. I have one with a 360 assessment coming up this summer. Why must I do 360 assessments every two years? I wish we'd do a 180 on those damn things.
(Hi, Dale. Miss you.)
I always thought cautious had a silent m in it somewhere.
Sounds like they are preparing to move your cheese.
And, speaking as a trainer: first rule of flip-charting: "Spelling doesn't count." Or is it "there is no fight club"? I can never keep those rule sets straight.
Haha!
is this the spelling bee site?
B-E-C-K-E-Y-E! I know!
You need to sit beside me at the next one Skyler's Dad so we can plot.
Because they need to study your kind of brilliance Beth. Sadly, they will never be able to mimic it. I miss you too!
Silent and invisible Some Guy, very stealth like that m.
Rules are fine by me Flannery and I'd never call anyone out on their poor spelling, except maybe here. I didn't mention one of the other groups during another exercise spelling 'rapport' as 'rapour' did I?
You said it Jin!
It could bee Distributorcap.
I'm coming to work with you. They'll all think I'm a genius.
Proof positive that your Boss has no idea how brilliant you are.
You're already legendary here Gennifer6.
Even I can't fathom my brilliance Sans!
茜茜知道他有了外遇！
他變得春風滿面，嘴裡總是哼著歌曲
他開始變得有耐心聽她說話、會買禮物給她、甚至帶她出遊
茜茜知道這是因為他對外遇有愧疚
她沒有揭穿丈夫的外遇，甚至享受這樣的生活
茜茜偷偷的跟姐妹滔說：感謝老公的外遇帶來更美好的夫妻生活！
知道他有了外遇
面對他的低聲下氣妳冷嘲熱諷、無理取鬧
妳瘋狂似的大吵大鬧
甚至到他的公司去亂、向他的親友抱怨、向鄰居們哭訴…
妳把他的外遇鬧的人盡皆知
最後，妳把他的愧疚消耗殆盡…
最後，妳把他想要回頭的念頭打消…
最後，妳自己把他推向外遇的第三者身邊…
