Whatever you do, do NOT say the "Q" word…

4 comments

Please, please, PLEASE do NOT say the “Q” word. I’m on the train again till 0600 next Friday and I’m hoping for a calm shift. You can pretty much say any word you want. Just not the “Q” word. The last time I heard it dispatch didn’t let me take a break to pee for 11 hours. 

So, here is the list of tolerable words:

calm, demure, dormant, dumbstruck, gentle, halcyon, hushed, inaudible, inconspicuous, inoffensive, introspective, low-key, low-profile, meek, modest, motionless, mute, noiseless, pacific, passive, pensive, placid, quiescent, reflective, reposeful, reserved, reticent, retired, retiring, secluded, sedate, sequestered, serene, silent, stagnant, staid, still, subdued, taciturn, tranquil, unassuming, uncommunicative, undemonstrative, undisturbed, unfrequented, unmolested, unmoved, unobtrusive, unruffled

Ok… So maybe a few them might need some reconsideration… but my Thesaurus spat them out, so that is what you get!

    I said the Q word Friday. 3 Minutes later I responded to a rollover on the interstate.
