Good Omen #1
I had asked for the morning off on 11/21 to go to the Empty Bowl Project some time ago. Old Boss hadn't ever approved it. So as soon as I heard the news that I was going to the new unit, I sent a request to New Boss. When I get to work today, I found that New Boss approved my request, and sent a welcome note both to me and to the unit letting them know I was on board. Huzzah!
Old Boss just now sent me a response to my request, saying 'maybe'. I guess I get to go explain to her that I'm not in her unit anymore. I was thinking she already knew. We passed each other in the hallway a few moments ago and she gave me a pretty unpleasant go-to-hell look. You know when you walk past someone and smile at them? I did that, and she tightened her mouth and raised her eyebrows. This says "I acknowledge your recognition of me, and I'm not going to smile at you because I hate you and I hope you get head cancer." Whatever.
I got a 'What On Earth' catalog. As usual, there are many cute gifts that if I had unlimited income I would get for people. Gordon would get the shirt with the giant corn on it. Would I get Eric the shirt that says 'I'm sick of being my wife's arm candy' or the one that says 'I'm only wearing black until they make something darker'? Then I might get myself either the shirt that has the illustration from 'Charlotte's Web' of the 'Terrific' web with a smiling Wilbur standing underneath it (that was one of my favorite books as a child) or perhaps the little throw pillow that says 'I'll get you my pretty, and your little dog too!' with the green witch from Oz on it. And who amongst my nerdy Monty Python friends wouldn't be amused by the direction sign with one arrow pointing to 'Camelot' and the other to 'Certain Death'?
