“It’s a beautiful day.”
~A brief comment by Mike after his lunch at my desk…
Yup! Besides the beautiful weather – sunny and crispy, blue skies, Mike is quite breath-taking. Thank you, God for blessing me with a nice corner desk to look at people beautiful people, such as him! I’ve learned to flirt, smile, nod, squint, glare, and, yes, flick off (subtly) the people walking by my desk. I love them all! Then again, I want out! Damn you, Pete!
Anyway, Theresa and I walked a good 45 minutes clockwise around the eBay area starting around 12:15pm. I usually walk with my wooden umbrella – a Rose Chapel design – as a shield against the hot sunlight. I don’t want a farmer’s tan! She talked as usual and got jealous that Carolyn inquired of how I was doing when the both of them talked about work-related issues. It’s because Carolyn doesn’t know much about me and she had to ask generic questions. I had to clarify that with Theresa. Poor dear!
We then addressed how to handle mothers who think they know best and how she tests the characters of people and how she doesn’t like to walk with the people from her finance department. I guess she feels comfortable with me. Ah, me! She then talked about how she tested someone’s character. For example, she walked one way on the sidewalk and two women were walking the opposite direction. Both didn’t move off the side. Instead, Theresa was forced to go between them. Maybe, they just wanted to mow her down.
Oh and Mike crossed our paths and waved with his usual friendly smile while talking on his cellphone.
Then Theresa and I went our separate ways to “powder our noses”, which is a more sophisticated euphemism for hosing down our stink from sweating after our walk under the friggin’ hot sunshine!
