Okay for the most part I would say I'm a pretty nice guy but I have to admit when it comes to caring for others and showing sympathy I'm not all that great. Maybe I am if it's say my mom or sister or my Leivas but when it's my co-worker let me just say I'm not too hot.
On Monday, the only other person I work with in my showroom started acting all strange. He said he had shooting pains in his back and from his side of the room all I heard were moments of "oh.." and "eeeh.." and as I rolled my eyes and thought, "what the hell am I supposed to do about it?" He asked me if I could bring him some water.
Now this is where it really shows what a caring person I am - all I thought of was, "There's only one bottle of water in the fridge and I brought it from home." But in my defense, I only thought that and actually did bring it to him.
Eventually, he packed it up and went to the emergency room and I haven't seen him since, which means I'm stuck on the 5th floor of this hell hole, having to lock up and set the answering machine everytime I want to leave, and believe me I want to leave a lot...
and in a strange little twist, he had called me yesterday saying he was coming in this morning and he hasn't shown up or called, and just now while writing this he rings me up to tell me he thought he was coming in this morning but will be here as soon as he can, he just had a rough night...
Okay so his problem was kidney stones and I have heard they are super intense and painful but why is that I just want to smack him in the kidneys repeatedly with my stapler until they loosen up and he get back to work? Is that so wrong?
It's been almost a full month since my showroom moved from our own store to the Pacific Design Center and it's pretty much a big bore, though we are a tad busier than before but yesterday was actually quite intriging if only for the chase that I was on.
So I'm not much of a celebrity chaser, in fact I don't even recognize half of the people Alfred insists we have seen - though from blocks away I did recognize Little Leslie Jordan walking down the sidewalk in West Hollywood - in fact there's only a select few that would get me really excited should I encounter them, and how I would love for one or two of them to show up at my work place, but alas it usually doesn't happen - I've met Michael Jackson (crazy!), that red headed chick who went blonde from "That 70's Show" and Patricia Heaton from "Everybody Loves Raymond" before I knew she was a crazy loud mouthed Republican but then something cool happened yesterday.
I went down to the 3rd floor balcony for my morning smoke and noticed this cool looking younger chick come outside and smoke. I thought, "Is that? Could it be? Is it? I think it is..." It was frickin' Kelly Osbourne, or at least I thought so. I didn't want to ask her cause well, I'm just that way, I mean if I asked her if she was Kelly Osbourne and she said "Yes," then what? I can't exactly hug her and say "I frickin' love you! Your music is awesome and people should give you half a chance cuz you rock..." though I guess in hindsight that may have worked.
Well after I thought I saw Kelly, I went back to work and then later as I walked back downstairs to get the mail - this girl and some punk looking guy were riding the escalator behind me, but I couldn't hear what they were saying, so I couldn't tell if she had an English accent or not...
So I sent my co-worker up to the 6th floor to follow them around and let me know if it was indeed Kelly O - he came back to tell me she did in fact have an English accent, so I grabbed my cell phone and ran around the whole frickin' building trying to catch Kelly O and get a pic with her (and hand her my new CD of course) but alas little lass eluded me.... until our next meeting Miss O - I'll be watching you:
