My big mouth & other stuff

[asphaltcowgrrl]

First, 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!

Too funny. Eye candy is always good. My boss gives me trouble every time one particular supply rep comes in. Thank goodness he was out of the room earlier today or I'd never have heard the end of it.

Yeah, well...

How do you manage to get the cute drivers?

Hahahah oh man eye candy and fun. Now that's a day.

I went and got my yearly boob squish, then got recommended for genetic testing so spit in a tube. Went and got my back cracked, drove my mom (and me) to the bank and got gas (it's cheaper in the bad end of town). Went to the dermatologist who does not know what my rash is either, but hey we'll give you another ointment for it.

Then had lunch out. Then did ALL the shopping--pet stuff and grocery and everything.

Also did a bunch of orders and pretty much finished Christmas shopping (I need to get gift cards and cothes for my nieces and nephews).

Now I'm sitting down to write... if I can focus.

😄 It definitely sounds like Joel knows to get a rise out of you, lol.

I miss office interactions- co-workers I would laugh and spar with, others I'd go to share with whenever actual WTF moments happened. Not sure that I'll have that anytime soon, it's looking like not so much. But then again... zoom meetings in a nice top and PJ bottoms? Yep. That's okay, too.
