July 31st, First Sunny Day of Summer

So, apparently at work today I said 'I'm appalled to discover its July 31st'. I wasn't listening; I don't always listen to myself because I'm really not that interesting. I try to tune in just for edited highlights.

In this case, I got the slow motion replay as everyone started laughing.

Disconcerting.

If only I could make people laugh like that when I wanted them too, and also, not at me.

I was quizzed on what other dates appall me. And I made the major tactical error of being so surprised to have found myself in this conversation at all that I told the truth. In fact, I dislike many months (and thus dates) on account of not liking some letters of the alphabet, and, in particular, disliking some combinations of letters. Hilarity ensured (but once again, not with me). Its an aspect of me no work person had suspected until now. They're worried and I'm worried and its all because of the sunshine.
