after not having seen him for 3mths (was it only a short 3 mths?), this makes my heart constrict in happiness and supreme joy. it's quintessentially 'him' in every nuanced way. and it makes me smile..

we have a crazy guy who calls us at the office only to hang up once i answer the phone. either that or if and when my boss happens to answer his calls, he'll start raving and scolding her. the weird message left on the answering machine a few weeks back was also by him.. the hazards of working life. poor boss.

nothing happens for no reason. for all the 'meanies' out there today who did not stop me to tell me i had stained my pants, there were just 4 who made the mortification worth it.

to the girl whose whispered revelation started the whole thing, thank you.

to the lady who did not scream and run away when i suddenly popped my head out of the cubical and asked her to help me blow-dry my pants, thank you.

to the lady who helped pass me my emergency replacement pants, thank you.

and finally, to derrick who had to brave extreme weirdness... "excuse me, could you pass this to my friend inside the toilet?" (weird stare) "why don't you wait outside and pass it to her yourself when she comes out!" "well, because, you know... you know.. (extreme vague emphasis)" (the 'eureka moment') "OHHHH! Ok!"

... who is currently $29 poorer till i pay him back, who did not act or look embarrassed (even if he is a guy), consequently preventing me from collapsing into a puddle of mortification, a BIG HUGE grateful thank you.

well, and it can't be that bad since i've got a pretty, new, baby-blue pair of cotton pants.
