Day 80: Easter candy bag #1: Completed.
Day 79: Text to Bekah: Do you think mom and dad would like this?
So my desk is around the corner of my office kind of on its own and is the first thing someone sees when walking into our suite. From this vantage point I see 50 % of the elevator riders, and hear the elevator any time it opens. There are only 4 suites on our floor, so this is not a huge inconvenience, in fact I kind of enjoy it at times. I have to come to realize, however, that the people in other suites on our floor deem it their right to use the hallway for personal phone calls; apparently this unchartered territory = no man’s land. Last week I heard an entire wedding shower planned. Every day this woman went out in t
he hall to further the plans. We’ll call her Tina. The bride is registered at Crate and Barrel and someone wasn’t invited to the shower and no one knows what to do about it. If she really feels bad about it, Tina told one of her callers, they can just invite her to the shower. Tina has a pretty annoying voice so after a few minutes I have to resist the urge to shut the door to our office. Today, we had a new hall dweller! I’ll call her Kim. Yes…Kim is looking for a birthday present for a 7 year-old boy and "does not support" giving computer games so that all he does is sit with his electronics all the time. Apparently the caller did not appreciate that and Kim’s next response was, "if you’re going to constructively criticize, don’t be an a-hole about it!" At this comment, I had to see who this hall-dweller was so I headed out the door to go to the bathroom. At that point she said, into the phone mind you, "this is awkward", and to my GREAT DISAPPOINTMENT switched to another language!! She’s back to English now and it has been a good 15 minutes, so I guess the waters are calm. I’ll keep ya posted on Kim, Tina, and the wedding shower as I hear more…
