THE OFFICE
--
is not so boring anymore. headed to post-work drinks with the "cooler half" of the office on friday. hitched a ride with the big boss and it was quite daunting because he obviously thinks he is damn smart
big bad american boss married to SPG : so, do you read? (an obvious dig at me since i'm a writer)
me: yes
BBABMTSPG : oh, what do you read? (eyes straying to my leg)
me: urm, everything really. i like metaphysical shit
BBABMTSPG: really? interesting. do you read confucious and stuff like that? i love it
me: not really actually
BBABMTSPG: (completely ignoring my last sentence) do you like lao tzu? (an ancient chinese philosopher)
me: well, he's respected all over the world so yea. don't really know much about him though. but i have the bridged version of the art of war..
BBABMTSPG: (interupting) but that's by sun tzu isn't it?
me: (rolling my eyes) yes, i know.
then we start to talk quite a bit and my heart actually went out to him when i noticed how much of a constant hurry he was in, from the pace he walks and the way he whizzes through words. i mentioned it to him and he softened visibly
BBABMTSPG: (embarrassed) errr yeah.
me: why are you so bloody tense?
BBMBMTSPG: i don't know.
me: its friday! relax!
BBABMTSPG: okay okay.. (he then proceeds to stop by a chocolate store and animatedly buys two chocolate popsicles for the both of us. LOL)
maybe he's not such a bad guy after all!
the rest of the colleagues intrigue me, the "lesser" half of it as they are quiet little shadows. one of them has massive boobs, is a hardcore catholic (i didn't know it at first and she kinda rolled her eyes at me when i mentioned i am part atheist) and whispers. the other, a big-bone girl suffering from an obvious inferiority complex. she totally avoids eye contact. and both of them are only 23.
i should get to know them bettter and convince them to undergo a major wardrobe and personality revamp tailored by yours truly.
okay.. retail therapy time. hey! it has been a fornight since i last bought anything pretty. apart from the la senza bra yesterday.
i seriously have no idea why i am always buying pretty lingerie when there is no appreciative audience.
ciaoooo
