~Yes, I stole the tagline from Dooce, but the content is all mine.
"This Russian term of literary analysis refers to the experience of having the familiar and commonplace made strange or alien." - This feels like my life.

How to Annoy Me
I work a salaried job, but if you work weekends you're supposed to let your supervisor know and get their permission. So I walked into my boss's office and said: "I know that my project needs more of my time if it is going to be done on time so I plan on working this weekend. Is that ok?" He turns to me and says: "That was my expectation." Um, how am I supposed to know what your expectations are if you don't tell me? This is the same guy that complained about my communications skills at my performance evaluation. Otherwise good to work for, just hard to fulfill expectations when they aren't communicated, *sigh*.
