not only am i a receptionist, copy machine savant, chinese font expert but now i am babysitter extraodinare. yesterday second grandtwerp of our illustrious leader was hangin out at the office. he's the only twerp of the three that i care to associate with. the older one is bratty and the youngest one is still a baby. we came to show me his seeds. so he handed me this wad of tissue but didn't tell me what it was. so i tossed it in the trash and said yuck! and he looked at me and said it's not trash it's seeds!! sorry twerpy it looked like your used boogers. he grabbed it from my trash and proceeded to tell that there was something cool inside, he still hadn't told me it was seeds....so i'm bracing myself for something disgusting like boogers and too my relief turned out it was seeds he found at school. so i told him that someone could mistake it for trash and that he should put it in a bag. so i go to get him a plastic bag, and we put his seeds inside. he insists we keep the tissue too. three year olds..... he's hangin out with me and asking me about the box of copy paper i have by my desk and telling me that the packages aren't too heavy, he can pick them up. by this time i've completely stopped what i was doing and am to my dismay dedicating my full attention to him. i was actually working too if you can believe it. so he's talking with me and we decide we should plant his seeds so i go and grab him a cup and a bowl and take him outside to dig for dirt. i teach him how to plant his seeds and tell him that he has to put it in the sun by a window and water it everyday. i even make him a little flag with his name on it to put in the dirt. he's still hanging with me as others are actually doing their work and all of a sudden the power goes off. he reassures me several times that he is not scared one bit. i tell i'm not either but i think selina (the accountant) might be. it's pretty dark in the office considering the windows are open but it's really gray outside, and steven walks by and sees his bowl thinking that it's food he asks him what he's eating and we tell him it's not food it's seeds! he tells him very matter of factly...." yeah. i don't eat dirt" i tell him it's a good thing cuz it's probably bad for your teeth. he keeps peeking outside while it's raining and holding his bowl out cuz he's watering his seeds like i told him. by this time i've added all the apple seeds from my apple and steven gave him some watermelon seeds. when illustrious leader's wife tells him it's time to go...i'm kinda disappointed. not only cuz i have to go back to work but because i actually like the kid he's a sweetheart. he's really bright and holds good conversations with you, i guess he reminds me of gwen a bit. so weird though cuz i don't usually like children, but even kate was saying that i was a natural at hanging out with kids....maybe cuz i still consider myself one. the bossman's wife told me today that he was so happy that i helped planted his seeds that he was telling his mom all about it. i thought that was soo sweet. am i getting soft? i think i am. this might be bad. funny thing too i forgot how much i hated the place. hmmmmmm

on another note my mother came at me again with the stupid wedding thing ....how do i tell my family politely that i'd rather sit around and play video games than go to this wedding? she tried to tell me that she talked to the mother of the bride and she was going to check the final count for the guest list. really folks....totally not worth it. the more they bug me about the more i really don't want to go. i'd only really go for johnny, not even my family. cripes!!! at least i did my duty as a friend of the family and bought the couple their gift...it's being shipped to them as we speak. hopefully they'll leave me alone now.

why am i talking about this?? ignore me.
