they know about my amaznig belly of uselessness and today we ordered mexican. now, whenever we get mexican, i always get really bland, dull food (unseasoned pork in a potato pancake) just to make sure that i don\'t give myself any problems.
well, today everyone wanted me to try some of their food. "come on, dude, you gotta try this! no, its not too spicy..." and i really mean everyone - the office manager, the boss man, the 63 year old receptionist, the trainees, everybody! i couldn\'t figure out what was going on, but i knew they were up to something.
well, not long after we finish eating and go out for our customary post-lunch smoke, i feel the rumble of discontent. grabbing the newspaper, i head out to the men\'s room. when i return, the whole office is sitting in the lobby, the boss man watchnig his watch.
"2:06 to 2:24" he says. now, i\'m confused, cause i can understand him getting a little irate that i took the paper in with me and spent a while, but there seemed to be no malice or disapproval.
"I WIN!!!" says the office manager, and money exchanges hands. i was starting to catch on.
"We decided on mexican and decided to feed you spicy stuff, just so we could run this poo pool! We\'ve thought about it before, but today i sent an email seeing if anyone wanted to play, and they all did!! So we did! Closest to exact time of entry and closest to total length of time. And I Won!!!!!"
after seeing the pool squares, i suddenly realized why the boss had asked me into his office for a seemingly meaningless, useless chat. he had the latest time block....
so, i\'m kind of honored and kind of embarassed, all at the same time. and i have a feelnig that this is not the end of this sort of behaviour!
