It has been a while since there has been any action at my office, to divert my attention from working. But today was my lucky day… thanks St. Patrick’s Day! Luck of the Irish for me!
This guy spent quite a bit of time sitting outside my office window this morning and having one HELL of a conversation with himself!
I am guessing he was so talkative because he was WASTED and chugging a 40 ounce at 9am, on the side of an office building. What’s crazy, is he is not the typical looney tune that frequents the area around my office. This guy had on spiffy new white shoes, a shiny watch and a lanyard around his neck with keys on it… like he had an actual job or something. Yet there he sat, swigging beer and talking to himself.
Then, as fast as he came into my life… he was gone. Just left his beer and walked off, leaving me with an empty hole in my heart and my work to get back to.
So my co-worker Bill had to go out and try to help fill the void that was left inside me. He is always going the extra mile for me.
As good of a fill-in as he was… it just wasn’t the same. Sometimes, you just cannot replace the original - just ask “New Coke” from 1985!
UPDATE… BREAKING NEWS:
His day got NO BETTER!!! We had lost track of him for a while after he walked off… then spotted him up at 7-11 - YES THAT 7-11 - Soooo, we made Bill go up there and scope him out. The guy tried to pay for a piece of cheese with a handful of pennies. When the clerk told him it was not enough, he reached into his pocket and a whole bunch of other pieces of cheese came spilling out, so he just left the store. Unlucky for him, a cop was pulling in just as this was all happening, got the scoop from the clerk and followed the guy across the street into the crazy’s parking lot, where Bill also followed to get some pictures of him being arrested. Poor guy. All he wanted today was to get piss-ass drunk and eat some cheese. Poor guy!
