Not sure what the context of the conversation was but statement is worth noting... In a meeting, Dee states "I'm just going to start telling people I'm knocked up."

On catching up

We're running late to a meeting so a few of us leave a few minutes before D. When she gets near us, she says "Wait for me. Wait for me...I'm like the chubby dalmation." (reference to the dog from Disney's 101 Dalmations who I guess is apparently always trying to catch up as well)

The mind never stops

D says out of no where, "I'm thinking... of a new language".

New Years Goals

Today, Deanna comes to work extremely excited.

"Guys, I completed one of my goals for 2011, and it's only March! Want to hear about it?"

Us: "Sure."

Dee: "I drove all the way to work this morning without using my hands."

Us: (groan) "Isn't it hard to turn using your knees?"

Dee: "It's intense! It's like a workout for my thighs!"

Reminiscing 2

Deanna recently recalled that there was an entire year when she and her brothers did not go to school. Scary.

Dirty looks

Deanna constantly gives a coworker dirty looks as he walks by. When he asks why one day, she responds "You know that's how I show affection."

Coworker: "Psychiatrists call that imprinting....man your parents must have been really abusive."

Life changes

"I'm seriously considering submitting an application to the Peace Corps. I'm currently happy...I think I need to shake things up. You know, leave while the party's still fun...I'm always the last one to leave the party."

Reminiscing about the past

"There was this guy I lived with in college....he's dead now."

Crazy cat lady?

Earlier in the day, Dee was teasing a coworker about having Aspergers. The following conversation happened a few hours later.

Coworker: "You have to have 3 cats to be considered a crazy cat lady. I only have one."
Dee: "I'm pretty sure aspergers can count for two cats."

RIP CRAwfish

"Only your fish could have a freak accident...in a bowl."

The beta fish Deanna had recently passed away. It was a strange fish to begin with, and it left the world in a strange way. Normal fish float at the top of the bowl... CRAwfish appeared to have wedged himself underneath a rock and gotten stuck. We're not sure how else to explain it.

On deciphering a coworker's quesitons

"Ryan will ask what's going on in the middle east, and what he really wants to know is if css_id equals org_id."

On inappropriately shaped fruit

"Only I would get a vagina-esque plum".

The week of unfilteredness

The same week Dee did not think before she spoke, she also didn't think before she acted.

"I accidentally winked at a boy".

Translate - the person who changes out the water filter (or was it the recycling bins) walked past, and without thinking, Dee just winked at him.

What others think of her

A coworker asks about our Valentine's Day plans, and then tells Dee, "I picture you torturing small animals or something."

A different day, different conversation:

Dee: "I will be tactful".
Nicole: "Ha! I've heard you speak before."

Aggression

"I figured out why my knuckles are constantly bleeding - I was at the gym this morning, took off my boxing gloves, and thought "I guess I shouldn't be so aggressive."

The week of non-filtered talks

There was one week in particular where a lot of what came out of Dee's mouth was unfiltered. One of my favorites from that week:

A coworker asks another (older) coworker if there is something going "beep, beep, beep" in his office.
Dee says "It's his pacemaker".

Valentine's Day Plans

The week before Valentine's Day, Dee discusses what she'll be doing...

"Monday is Valentine's Day. I know all you married folks know that because you celebrate love...well, I planned an outing (for single folks)...to a strip club".
