people are funny
so, on my lunch break today, i decided to run some errands and deposit my check. my co-worker (not quite from hell, but perhaps from purgatory) calls me and says,purg: "do you feel like running a errand?"
me: (sweetly) "what do you need?"
purg: "i need you to drive to the bank and pick up some print-outs that BigImportantBankGuy has waiting for us."
me: "where is this bank?"
purg: blurts out random address.
me: ok, i'll try to find it.
i proceed to drive 2 miles in the wrong direction because Purgatory had given me the wrong street name.
i call purg back,
me: "is it NE or N RandomStreetAddress?"
purg: "oh! it's not RandomStreetAddress, it's ThisOtherStreetName! i am sooo sorry!"
so, it turns out that when she called me, i was actually 4 blocks away from the bank she needed me to go to . . . drat. and i have nooooooo gas.
i get back to the office.
purg: "i ordered us a pizza and some chicken strips for lunch as a thank you for running those errands!"
me: "awesome." (picking the meat off my pizza)
purg: "oh! i didn't even THINK! you don't eat meat and there is chicken and bacon on that pizza!!"
me: (a little blandly) "it's ok, i can pick it off."
--5 minutes later.--
purg: "do you want these last two chicken strips?"
me: "chicken?" (thinking she'd get it)
purg: "yes, do you want it?"
me: "chicken . . . hmmm . . . no thanks."
she never caught on.
and . . . she tries to blame me somehow for everything she does wrong. awesome. make the new girl look bad.
say it don't spray it 3:42 PM
