Have a Blessed day

Would you have felt better, LJ, if she'd said "Blessed be"?

At least you'd have known she was a Pagan. Of course, Pagans virtually never say anything like that to someone unless they know them to be Pagan.

Pagans are the worst proselytizers on the planet. This is probably due to the fact that we don't get J&C Salvation Stamps with each blessing.

I guess the issue I have with it is the obvious assumption that it's acceptable for her to dump her religiosity in my(everyone's) lap on her business voice-mail message. And the rest of the message sounds as though she is either aping other professional sounding messages she's heard, or she's reading it out of a handbook of some sort. And the whole time you can hear it building....to that.......have a blessed day bit.


I'm fucking tempted to post her phone number so you can hear it yourself.

PM me. damn.

Oh, hey, I hate that shit, too. I wasn't disagreeing with you at all.

The best thought I can come up with in these cases is something like, "At least she didn't tell me to go fuck myself".

Yeah, but somehow "go fuck yourself!" sounds more sincere than "have a blessed day!" Blessed by what, exactly? That persons vengeful god? Their sick sense of superiority?

Don't mind me, kids. I've got my cynical shoes on.

Oh, what color are they? Jade!
