Nubble Wedding

There was a gusty wind. The groom's dad officiated. There was giggling. There were tears of joy. Readings were excerpts from Elvis Costello & Johnny Cash/June Carter songs. Lots of smiles. (I love it when the bride and groom wear jeans.) A lovely Christmas Eve morning ceremony. And the two, with 3 boys from their previous marriages, will have a girl in March.

Looks like I photographed a TV screen...
The big question: how long will my new white fuzzy slippers stay white?
Fortune: A vacation by sea is in store for you.

I am beyond tired

I am beyond tired - m4w - 25
Reply to: pers-313@craigslist.org
and after tomorrow I could forever melt in your arms, feel secure, drown in your aura, your scent, tight in the clasp between your legs, I surrender, our bodies, our body heats wax, and into the fire we smile
Location: indoors

It's like nails on a chalkboard when I read that. Is it supposed to be romantic? Is it romantic?


Fortune: You could realize solid gains today.

Tale of an Annoying Boss

Boss is at the reception desk, which is about 5 feet away from my desk. Boss is assisting a client with paperwork. Boss has been helping client for about 15 minutes. I can hear everything boss and client are discussing. Boss knows this as boss has included me in parts of the conversation. Phone rings. I answer. Call is for boss.

me: It's Bob Bobbers - do you wanna talk to him or should I tell him you'll call him back?
boss: Can you tell him I'll call him back? I'm meeting with a client right now.

Oh. Is that what you're doing? I had no idea.
Really. Boss says it like I have no clue. Perhaps boss wanted me to tell Bob Bobbers, "boss is with a client." But Bob Bobbers doesn't need to know why boss can't take his call.

Boss did something similar awhile ago whilst an auditor was in our office. I answered the phone. Call was for boss. It was the director of one of our programs. Boss was on another line. As per usual, when someone important calls I let boss know - even if boss is on another line.

me: Big Wig is on the other line. Wanna take the call or should I tell him you'll call him back?
boss: (suddenly talking loud enough for auditor to hear) Big Wig is the director of the ABC program - I'll take his call.

No shit? I had no idea Big Wig directed that program. Thanks for pointing that out, twit.

Fortune: Working out the kinks today will make for a better tomorrow.
