My big mouth & other stuff

asphaltcowgrrlFirst, I've been thinking about a fic lately, so I went and dug out a book I've used as a reference many times before.
You know the research is getting serious when I'm dragging this out:
(I also have one called Secrets of Gypsy Love Magic just in case.)
Hah! I swear, this book is at LEAST 20 years old. Likely older. Original publication is 1995, but I'm not sure I've had it quite that long. But, well, look at it. It's old.
But for the big mouth portion of our post... I've done it to myself again.
We have two UPS guys. The usual guy is Filipino, short, and very sweet. He's also pretty smoking hot, but I've managed to keep that shit to myself for the most part. The other, less frequent guy, is hella tall, pretty built, and yeah. The second guy came yesterday and then again today. So, what do I do? I tell Ralph that the 'very tall UPS guy left a box'. I made this disclaimer because the other guy is the one who leaves the boxes downstairs and yells up, "ONE BOX AAAAAMMMMYYY!" LOL
Joel decides to run with this. "Oh, he's tall, huh? But is he better built than the other guy? Cause he's pretty short." "The other guy might be short, but he's pretty ripped, too." WAIT. WHY DID I SAY THAT. This of course led to me being harassed about the UPS guys for a good ten minutes.
About half an hour later, Ralph comes out to get the box and says, "Why didn't you tell me this box was here?" I reminded him that I did (apparently, he was joking), and that set Joel off again. I said I was going to burn it all down if they didn't stop.
Joel: But that won't bring the tall, built UPS guy back.
Me: No, but maybe it might bring us some hunky firemen.
Joel: Amyyyyyyy...
Me: ....what?
Ralph: *surprised Pikachu*
Jakub (our 19 year old intern): *trying to pretend like he's not part of this conversation or this company*
Yeah. So, one day, I'll learn to maybe keep my mouth shut. Until then, I'm just going to have to make sure to run interference between Joel and both of our UPS guys.
So, how's your day going? At least I've gotten a bit of eye candy. HAH!

Date: 2021-08-01 01:12 am (UTC)The hardest part of working from home is lack of diversity in scenery. I'm learning to get out for a bit once I'm 'done' for the day, or at least take a break and a drive or a long walk. Unfortunately, I can be on zoom meetings half the dang day sometimes and the slack messaging tool is constantly pinging, so... .no break from communicating at all. If anything, I have people at me more than pre-covid! Ah, well. I still have my job so I'll deal with it.
