OMG This can't be real!

OMG is how I have to start typing this. I am just shaking my head in disbelief. I still can’t believe the conversation we just had about daylight savings time change is coming up in November.

I am working away in my office, sipping tea. All of a sudden *Bob and iiww come walking in arguing. Bob sits down in my spare chair (getting rid of that thing) and says go ahead iiww tell her what your problem is. Still sipping my tea and ask “When do you get up and change the time on your clocks?” Ok, dang near spit my tea out and choked.

I had heard a bit of the conversation before they came in so I had an inkling of what was going on. And knowing Bob I figured it was going to be good. But that one threw me.

With only a moments hesitation I said 2am just like everyone else does.
And then we proceed to explain to him that it won’t work right if you don’t wait until 2am.

Bob asks iiww when he does it. Iiww does it before he goes to bed. He sets his clock back and his ALARM back as well. Neither one of us made a comment on the alarm thing. We really couldn’t as I think we were speechless.

Iiww still doesn’t believe us. So I Google it. First that that pops up is that DLS time ends at 2:00am on Nov. 4th. So now we have him convinced he has to get up at 2:00am to change his clocks. Gee if he changes his alarm too he will be really early for work. That would be a switch!

The Big Breakup

There were a few of us just talking and iiww came up. Bob** was telling us about the conversation he had just had with iiww.

Iiww came in yesterday with a huge hickey on his neck and showed it off to everyone. He even tried to show the ones you couldn’t see. That was scary, thank goodness someone stopped him. He preceded to tell us it wasn’t from his girlfriend and that he had cheated on her. We were like ok, and you are telling us this why? Anyway he went on relentlessly and told us how he broke up with his girlfriend because he thought she could do better. Like DUH DUDE.

Well afternoon came and he got a phone call from the broken up girlfriend. She had broken her hand and wanted him to take her to emergency room. Flew out the door before anyone could ask him any questions.

So this afternoon he was in helping Bob as he is supposed to. A few of us were talking by the door and this is conversation went:

Bob: I thought you broke up with your girlfriend?

Iiww: I did, why?

Bob: Why did she call you then to take her to the hospital?

Iiww: I don’t know, I guess she hasn’t heard yet.

Bob: Heard what?

Iiww: That we broke up. Her hand was pretty messed up though.

Bob: WHAT? What do you mean she hasn’t heard?

Iiww: Well I told her mom and a friend of hers to tell her.

Bob: You told her mom and her friend? Why didn’t you tell her?

John** walks to the doorway.

John: You mean to tell me you weren't man enough to even tell her?

Iiww: I didn’t want to talk to her.

Bob: You know what I think iiww, I think that she never called you. I think you never went to the hospital.

Iiww eyes gone huge and wild. You can see he is trying to think of something.

Iiww: Why did someone tell you they saw me? If they did they are lying. I was at the hospital.

Bob: No one said they saw you. I am just speaking from experience of you telling us one thing and doing another.

Iiww: I don’t do that! (angry now and talking very loud) You know what Bob, just get yourself caught up. (storms out of Bob’s office)

20 minutes later

Sorry Bob, I have a migraine today, I didn’t mean it.

LOL, he told me earlier it was a hangover!

Lunch Part One!

I am full from lunch, and thought I would sit down and write a bit. Yesterday someone asked if we all wanted to bring stuff in for BLT’s as he has too many tomatoes. We all agreed. Even iiww. So for breakfast #1 brought doughnut holes & bagels w/cream cheese. From #2 was potato salad & chips, #3 lettuce, # 4 cheese, sandwich spread and pickles, #5 bacon, #6 tomatoes & bread, #7 is iiww.

He brought nothing.

Lets start with breakfast. I had a couple of the doughnut holes, everyone else decided it was bagel time. Guess who is in there already fixing a bagel? AND has about 5 doughnut holes on his plate. Yes, iiww.

Now for lunch. #2 got everything out while I went out for a smoke break. I come back in and check my email and iiww walks in my office. He asks if I am ready to go outside for lunch. I tell him I just came back in. He says, “Man and I really need a smoke.” Ok, I sit there for a minute and it dawns (that’s dawn not don, you know who you are) on me. He doesn’t have any cigarettes. Ok, I am nice and go find him to give him one. Where is he? You guessed it, in the kitchen making a sandwich!

I stop and look for a minute. He looks up and I ask if he wants a smoke. “Sure if you have an extra, I have a quarter.” I tell him to keep his quarter. He continues to make his sandwich. The dang thing is huge. I think he put on about 8 slices of bacon!

Well we all get done eating and are talking. We wait until iiww sympathiser/enabler (#4) goes to her office. Me & #1 are still out there. We ask the other two guys if they are done. Yes they are over full as per usual. LOL. We tell them we are going to clean up and put everything in my office except fridge stuff. Now we are waiting. Apparently he is taking a long lunch. We all go back to work.

I keep listening but unfortunately I didn’t hear him come in so I couldn’t see his face when he walked by and seen it all put away.

Will let you know how it goes tomorrow when we are going out for lunch for a birthday!
