Man, those chumps in the PDD wouldn’t know a great concept if it squirted them in the eye, caused the cornea to bleed copiously, and made facial skin fall off in large chunks.
One day Joe… one day they’ll realise you’re an ideas man. The minor details ain’t your department.
Not that I recall. But then, I rarely have ideas, so it doesn't give people (yourself included!) much opportunity to criticise them.
Are you about to?
'cause I can take it. Really. As I said to the check-out boy recently who apologised for filling my grocery bag too full..."Don't stress it, I'm stronger than I look"
Well, there was more than one bag. He was just concerned that he'd filled one of the bags too full (2 big bottles of juice and some tinned pears, as I recall), and that I wouldn't be able to lift it from the counter into the trolley. I think it was his first day, so I didn't want to add to his stress-level so I just smiled, said what I said, then quietly blew a vein in my forehead while I lifted it.
Now that's some super-positivity on my part. Well, not really, it was more of a matter of pride to prove I could lift it.

How right you are, Mel. How right you are.
I work pretty exclusively with the major details.
Exactly!
you know what? ...
Joe Idea and the Major Details
I'm feelin' it.
I'm trying to think...have I ever criticized an idea of yours, Mel?
I'm just checking. I like to be aware of any streaks I need to keep intact.

:-)
If he put the groceries you chose in a second bag, wouldn't that add to the weight? Even infinitesimally!
The weight of a second bag.
I am glad that you're stronger than you look, though! That's a useful-as-hell trait. They say it's always better to be sold short and surprise 'em.
(oh - I know you can take it, Mel! I don't hold back much, come to my opINion)

Hey, thanks for the reminder! I need to do another Super-Positivity.
Shit. I have nothing on tap. I'm going to have to go out and do something.
