PhD Boss Entertains Me In His Absence
As funny as PhD boss is in person, somehow, he's even more entertaining when he's not around. I present Exhibit A: The White House Spoon Incident, where he provided for my benefit a fun, little mystery to theorize about while he was out of town.
Yesterday, I took a two-hour lunch because it’s three days ‘til Christmas and who the hell is around to keep track anyway? If you are at work and expecting you or anyone else to get anything done this week, then you are retarded. Go home.
Upon my return, I had TWO calls from PhD on my voicemail. Isn’t that typical? He probably called a minute after I left and a minute before I got back and spent the time in between prepping a good lecture on accountability.
But I needn’t have feared because this was the first message, barely discernable over the background noise:
"Hey, it's me. Um,... I'm in Vegas. Gimme a call back."
And this was the second message:
"Hey. Me again. Uh, I figured it out on this end, so don't call me back."
-- the hell??? He’s supposed to be in Palm Springs with his father!
So I didn't call; I texted him: "omg, you're in vegas?! did you get a quickie marriage?"
As of this hour, I have still not heard back from him. And I am prayed to the Sweet Baby Jeebus that he married some topless dancer. PLEEZ, God, grant me this Christmas miracle, and I promise I will honor hit with the Best Blog Posting Ever! In Jeebus’ name we pray. Amen.
