It's a Small World After All
After five years of promising to do so, Head Boss FINALLY hired an assistant for Chick Boss. I guess I will call her Asst. Chick Boss.
Now the women outnumber the men in our department (one step closer to my World Domination Vision...), so we toasted our majority at a local eatery.
We talked about what we did over the weekend, and Asst. Chick Boss said that she went to hear her sister's husband's band play.
ACB: He grew up in P.R., so sometimes they play around here, and when they do, I like to go hear them.
PW: He grew up in P.R.? So did I! What's his name? I might know his family.
ACB: Kenneally.
PW: Holy crap. First name?
ACB: Matt.
PW: SHUT! UP!
ACB: Do you know him?
PW: Yeah, I only went to kingergarten through senior year with him!
Actually, Billi knew him better than I did, as she dated one of his friends and they hung-out. In fact, I seem to recall that Billi and I took Matt and a different friend to our cousin's wedding because e knew they'd actually dance with us (an endeavor most men won't even attempt), and neither of us had a boyfriend at the time anyway.
And I'm pretty sure I was wearing a tunic-length sweater over a mini-skirt and cream-colored tights. So yeah, that's how long ago THAT was.
So I asked how he's doing, and what he's doing, and she's all, "Yeah yeah yeah -- have your sister give me some dirt on him!"
Oh man. That's so mean. I knew him in high school. No one should have to answer for their high school crap when they're in their thirties. I know I wouldn't want to!
Instead, I think I'll just see if Billi wants to come with Asst. Chick Boss and I, next time they play around here. If you're in the area, check out 750 South State. I think Matt plays the banjo or something.

dude, I am SO grateful that you think that way - becuase, I really don't want to remember the crap I did when you and I were in highschool together...
unless, of course, I was totally adorable, in which case, we should send pictures to queen of ass...

I wish I could get away with calling someone Chick Boss. Besides my wife, I mean.
