how to know you are thought of

July 1st, 2008 · 2 Comments

Send your wife on a weekender to see friends and a BUNCH of family. While she is there your friends point out a truck like yours and they say we think of Daine every time we see it. And She says “yeah it is an Fj55 just like his, except his is not blue.” Thank you dear, for stating the obvious.

Yesterday, I overhear in Bobalu, a man in his 50’s hitting on a girl in her 20’s. His get a younger woman opener…
50- You new?
20- Yes Sir, how can I help you?
50- I Bob, -pause- I am a regular. You’ll be seeing a lot of me. maybe a whole lot if your nice?
I turned around to see what kind of crazy this was. When laid eyes on him I laughed out loud and eye contact with the girl and she laughed. Awkward moment, then the old coot left.  I asked if that sort of thing happens often. She said all the time. It is like an episode of the office around here. And your laughing did not help me keep a straight face, but thanks for being here otherwise he might have tried to get my number. Would you actually give it to him? I asked. Oh we all give them our boss’s number. He yells at them and then they usually don’t come back. Then she smiles and says jokingly “so no you can’t have my number!” right then the boss man comes walking out of the back room. He lowers his gaze and meets mine through the haze.  “Mike, I’m going to tell you like I tell every other bastard trying to pick up one of my employees…” She stopped him before he threw me out. We had a good laugh telling him about the old coot.  He says as I leave at closing time, “well like the old geezer said, I hope to see a lot more of you in here, and I’ll be nice.” Which is actually just kind of what the geezer said, .
