Now, I have lived in this fair city for about 3 months, and so very often do I hear this statement- "no worries." I hear it all the time, from friends and co-workers, in person and in e-mails. This is not something I've heard people say a lot before, I guess it hasn't made it to ol Arkansas, yet. And the funny thing about it to me is that I really wasn't worried in the first place. Now, should I have been worried? Was the situation something I should REALLY have been worried about? Does the person saying this to me THINK I'm worried? And invariably I will hear/read this statement a lot in one day, so I notice it more. Makes me feel like I'm in freakin' Jamaica--"no worries mon, do what you gotta do mon." Not that I've actually been to Jamaica, but I've seen 'Cool Runnings,' I pay attention to popular culture. So I feel like I'm in Jamaica, except no pretty beach, no palm trees, no dread locks (okay, not many). Sometime I want to say "Hakuna Matata" back, but that would just reveal what a true nerd I am. Gotta keep that hidden!
Anyway, I will quit griping now.
