Yesterday at work one of my co-workers suddenly stopped what she was doing, looked frantically around her desk, and said, "I think I just put my purse in the fridge." I guffawed at her. "No, I'm serious," said she with tears brimming in her eyes. So I watched as she went to the fridge and pulled out her purse and some milk. She's 27.
The head of our floor has a tendency of yelling from her office when she wants someone. So, say she's supposed to have a meeting at 4. At 3:59 she will yell something like, "Is anyone coming to the meeting?" and start naming names. If they don't answer within 3 seconds she'll repeatedly yell their name until that person answers or someone confirms that person's whereabouts. She also plays a lot of solitaire throughout the day on her computer.
The guy on the other side of the divider from me knows everything about Broadway productions. Just yesterday another co-worker/friend asked me what that musical was, the one with the horse and something else in the title song, and I said I had no idea what she was talking about. In an accusatory tone, she said, "Well, Paul would know." Of course he would. He's given her bootlegs of Liza and most of his Ethel Merman collection.
Someone has a Golden Girls/Bea Arthur fixation and it isn't me. I pointed out to my friend a T-shirt for sale online that has the GGs with the slogan "Stay Golden." She is anxious for its arrival and subsequent wearings to work. She also bought Season 4 the day it was released.
My supervisor is on leave for the next month.
Yes, despite all this excitement, I'm taking a few days off to get my bearings and freeze my ass off. In Alberta. My friend is taking time off to go to London and Paris a day after I get back, another just got back from Hawaii, and I'm going to Alberta. Sigh.
