Ha! Kidding.
Just say...You look nice today, Bee!<br /><br />Ha! Kidding.<br /><br />Just say thanks. You might call him on it, though, telling him you've noticed the attention and that you're hoping that the praise carries forward to your performance review.ReformingGeekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17990465686765948682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6249718236310605607.post-6824466206122878422009-09-26T12:18:19.201-05:002009-09-26T12:18:19.201-05:00I think it's not nice to blow off someone'...I think it's not nice to blow off someone's compliments. During my surgery days, a girl in my building was telling me how nice I looked and Iseriously looked like a cow so I was rude. 3 times in a row. She muttered "Try and take a compliment already. Sheesh." <br /><br />I usually reply, "It's a gift." and since everyone knows I'm a comic, I get away with it.<br /><br />I had a bf once and asked him why he never complimented me. EVER. On anything. And that jackass replied, "Because I know you want one." That really hurt me because I never expect one. EVER.<br /><br />These days I pray Mexicans in their gardening trucks still whistle at me. Trust me girl, when the compliments stop, you're gonna feel old.Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00361775888847203043noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6249718236310605607.post-38204700767396433902009-09-26T08:38:21.939-05:002009-09-26T08:38:21.939-05:00I never get compliments, so I can't tell you. ...I never get compliments, so I can't tell you. :(<br /><br />No, really, what I would say is: No thanks, not today, I have a headache.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6249718236310605607.post-87224482933317775542009-09-26T08:14:44.610-05:002009-09-26T08:14:44.610-05:00Or give him the "Mexican sweep" look!

I'm sure that subtlety is one of your many strong points...<br /><br />I remember seeing a cartoon a long time ago in an office. The lecherous boss has obviously just removed his secretary's glasses, and she is saying to him "You know, without my glasses you're tolerably attractive too."Brian o vretanoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02982178574498189251noreply@blogger.com
