rachel has not endeared herself to the new management. she has one foot on a roller skate, the other on a banana peel. in other words, her days are numbered. i told her today, in a tone i have never used with her, that she is a poor example of my managerial skills. as if to emphasize my statement, she shrugged.
on the way home, i called patrick to see if he wanted to meet somewhere clandestine and kiss. he answered with the voice he uses when g is in the vicinity.
i'm all tied up, he said flatly.
i'm settling for the 3 B's; beer, bath, and book. i've turned off my phone and missed about 15 calls. he even left a voice message;
hi, (he says cheerily) i've called about 15 times. i don't give up easily, so i'll just keep trying.
a man who tries? a man who keeps trying?what a concept! pinch me! i must be dreaming!
