i
just thought that i'd share my latest experience in the working life
of me. i usually go out and run on my lunch break as many of you already
know. this requires changing out of my work clothes into my running
clothes befor i run. then after i run i must clean the sweat from
my body and change back into my work clothes. well, since recently
i decided that i would like to compete in a triathalon i have been
trying to get in some cross training. luckily i run right next to
the bay, so i can just jump in and go for a swim. unfortunately my
favorite movie while i was child was jaws, and i watched all of the
sequels as soon as they hit my tv. this contributes to a fear of sharks
that i have not been able to shake every time i go for a swim :^(
so
anyway, i was swimming one day, got out of the water, dried off
and changed back into my work clothes. i got completely dressed
except for my belt, which i forgot to put back on. when i got back
to the office the girl at the main desk was like,
"weren't you wearing a belt before?"
since i did not have time to engage in converstaion i replied, "oh
yes i was."
"well, what happened to it?" she asked.
in an attempt to shake her interrigation i replied, "shark
attack"
"shark attack!!!!!' she screamed,
"SHARK ATTACK!!!!!!!!" the rest of the office screamed.
"uh...yea...ok, gotta get back to work"
"work?" they all shouted in unison, "how can you
work at a time like this?"
with that they all began to dance abuot the office in perfectly
choreographed motions while i tried to escape back to my desk. in
the midst of my attempted escape someone grabbed my arm and twirled
me into the middle of the performance. i tried to fit in by doing
the arm snake dance, a move that i learned while a child on the
mean streets of sound beach at a break dance session. this stopped
the entire production, everyone went away. "at last" i
thought, "i can get back to work". however when i returned
to my desk there was a giant shark in my seat! i gasped and darted
backwards only to find my coworkers there waiting for me.
"it's just a pool toy" one of the secretaries pointed
out, "see" then the dancing resumed, this time theyincorpotrated
the arm snake dance into their routine, giant pool toy sharks where
flying around the office like pollen in the new spring air. i thought
of the deadline i had to meet, the ton of work that lay waiting
for me on my desk, what was i to do? i had to escape. i grabbed
my walkie talkie and called for help.
"breaker, breaker one, breaker one" i cried into the device.
it would not work. i whpped out the instruction manual...looked
throught the index...troubleshooting...page 2,898...no reception..."the
walkie talking is made for walking and talking, you must walk while
you talk or you may not get a reception"...damn! well, i guess
the best thing to do is just enjoy the dancing. i guess i'll never
get my work done...oh well, tomorrow's another day.
