Episodes

Episode One: Today

Taking a break from the joy of paying and organizing bills.

Today, I asked two guys in the office to put together chairs for me. And they did it. ;) In my defense, I was wearing a dress, and I couldn’t very well be mucking about with screwdrivers and greasy chair parts, could I? That’s boy’s work!

Tee-hee! ;)

Episode Two: Yesterday, and Friday

Yesterday was a rough day. Boss Michael gave me a hug and asked if he needed to send me home. He did not. I worked the entire day, and went home and went to bed. At 7:30. Yesterday…was a rough day.

Today I came into the office, and he said, “Do I need to have someone’s ass kicked?”

That made me laugh. “No…but would you do it yourself?”

To which he replied, “Maybe not…but that guy could do it!”

That guy was one of my co-workers. He has the most stressful job in the office – and apparently, after work on Friday, he had an ‘altercation’ in the parking lot of a restaurant, and ended up beating the crap out of some other guy while the guy sat in his car. And then he called Michael, and said, “Hey, if I don’t come in on Monday, there’s a strong chance that I’ll be in jail.”

Ohhh, my.

Episode Three: Many Years Ago

One of my guildmates was telling a story about the time he was 15 years old and he and a friend of his thought it would be a good idea to steal pot from someone in Compton. They were unsuccessful (“It looked like the guy had just harvested, or something.”) – but even so, on the way home, they were pulled over by the cops. In the backseat of their car, they had bolt cutters, other pot-stealing paraphernelia, and also this (and I can only assume he had it back there because he is, himself, a rather raging shade of Irish):

Cops took one look at it and drew their guns. “What is that?”

To which my guildmate replied – voice quivering – “It’s an Irish walking stick, often used by leprechauns!”

The End

The world is full of loveable miscreants. :)

This one is going to get off her ass and run. Off I go.
