Balance? Just add Chardonnay

I know I know, I hear it too often but I just don't get it;  according to the masses Chardonnay isn't now;  it isn't right; and sure isn't what all the cool kids drink.  But it just is so de-bubba-licious and frankly, it keeps me happy and brings some balance back into the hectic days.


Which today kinda was.  I watched a young remorseful and deeply embarrassed guy telling a room of managers that he was a muppet when he head-butted another guy at work (head-butt is a strong word - really, it was a bit of a tap of foreheads).  From his perspective, his world is crumbling around him as he faces the very real prospective that his job is on the line.  The other guy?  Well, not long before the head-butt, the other guy announced across the smoke bench that he had hooked up with his girlfriend last week.  In front of their colleagues and the girl in question.  This part of their day was apparently a minor detail he neglected to mention when giving his statement to a room of managers.  A minor detail that of course resulted in him being head-butted in less than five minutes.  The same guy told the room of managers he extended his arm to put some distance in between him and the head-butter; as a safety measure, in self-defence.  The CCTV shows that self-defence these days is to grab a guy by the throat and push him against a wall.  


When does provocation come in to it?  Two jobs, two lives, two guys and a girl.




Think I'll get another Chardonnay.

For those that also think that the daily occurrences, random moments and the stupid things we all do...are just so perfectly amusing.
