At 11:30AM, I was upstairs in my bedroom getting ready to go to work. My reason was to come to work around noontime today because I had to drive ‘Kali-Maw’ to ‘an appointment’ per my email my supervisor, ‘LeNavel RedEyes’ yesterday.
I woke up around 07:30AM, used the bathroom, went back to bed and got up around 09:00AM and logged online to read my favorite forum threads authored by ‘Secret Hose’ and ‘Inna Nookie.’ Both are quite connected in this unity crap. I know because my head and ears are felling full as I entered this blog at 10:51PM on 11-22-2006.
So I went downstairs, greeted the parakeets, washed and filled their tray, and boiled my noodles. I heard ‘Kali-Maw’ and ‘Shiva-Paw’ via the sound of the opening garage door. I just finished hosing down the strainer and greeted both. Then as ‘Kali-Maw’ dressed and as ‘Shiva-Paw’ untied his shoelace from the first step of the stairs, I chewed down my watered-downed and now cooled noodles.
I didn’t have anything on my agenda and took ‘Kali-Maw’s que as the first step. We went to the garage and began to dig around near the shoe rack. We folded my gray colored cover for my Mustang. Then we pulled the box of fake X-mass tree and the plastic containers of village houses.
‘Kali-Maw’ complained about ‘Shiva-Paw’ not being cooperative and I understand because I too am an X-mass grouch – bah hum bug! But we started with the main tree in front of the main window. ‘Kali-Maw’ wanted to prop up the tree with a stool but angrily removed the stool after seeing how ‘Shiva-Paw’ struggled to make it centered and how the tree looked better on the floor instead.
‘Kali-Maw’ did the decoration of silver and white on her tree. And I started my second tree, which was near the altar of the dining room. This was my idea and would be the first time we had two trees in one season. What joy I had in my discovery!
So I got my stool and pulled both the 4.50 feet tall X-mass tree and another from the cabinet above the Mazda car. Mine was easy to assemble with the lettered tags for each layer – D, E and then F. I had to uncurl each branch and felt how each one should be ‘naturally’ opened.
The decorations were my old felt and embroidery project back in the 70’s and these were hung on the front. ‘Shiva-Paw’s picture is near the top of the tree. The other decorations were small silver bells, metallic snowflakes, three kinds from ‘Lean SaladWash’ of my current work, and others like an M&M figurine, one plastic candy cane, two plastic hearts of white and red, etc.
I was finished around 11:15AM and had to get ready for work because I decided to stop and buy my venti-sized, Peppermint Mocha in soy milk and without whip creamed before work. Before I left I saw the city worker of a very dark-haired, ‘white-man’ changed two signs on one of my road.
At 11:32 he was finished with the 25 Speed sign of black against white. His next one was the STOP sign of white against red. This is so stupid because the roads needed to be repaired throughout the city. What a waste of taxpayer’s money!
I worked until 04:15PM and managed to get my work done. I found ‘Fancy Soul’ being helped by the asthmatic ‘Toad Soup’. Tod had to show the stupid boy how to fold a simple box for off-site storage of our departmental files. Our supervisor mentioned he should follow instructions written on the box.
I was asked by the brat how long it took me to learn how to fold the box. I said thirty minutes and on my own. But that was an over estimate and felt maybe it should not have taken more that ten minutes. I am curious why the supervisor still keeps both temps – ‘Feign Hurts’ and ‘Fancy Soul.’ Both are not bright in accounting but social chatter boxes nonetheless.
