more reports from the worst temp ever
Da Bosses are still MIA. Am very glad about this, for it allows me to spam people's friends lists with boring entries like this one.
So! Today! I went to lunch at 1PM to meet my Dad, as is my daily routine. We sit together and eat our identical lunches, because my mom gets up early and makes them for us. And yes, I am seven years old! My mom packs my lunch! God, I'm so pathetic.
Anyway, back to the original point. Today I got there and was eating and my Dad was all "Oh! I have a Christmas present here!" and then proceeds to whip out a catalog and hands it to me. At first I was confused, you know. "Gee, thanks, Dad. An office supply catalog. It's what I've always wanted."
But! Then he pointed me to the turned-down page and what do I see but an ad for jumpsuits you can buy and have personalized! Jumpsuits like the ones mechanics wear! And my Dad's all "I'm thinking of getting them with '[Insert My Last Name Here] Law Firm' on them and then we can each have one with our name on it! Like 'Jess -- [Insert My Last Name Here] Law Firm' and one for each of us in the family? Wouldn't that be GREAT?"
And I naturally responded as any sane person would: "YES! That would be SO COOL!"
And it would! I would have a cool jumpsuit with my name on it! And I could wear it, well, NOWHERE! But it would be a really funny gift for all of us to get. I said we could wear it painting or fixing the car or maybe bowling or something. Or get our picture taken together in the jumpsuits and use it for an XMas card next year. The possibilities are ENDLESS!
We spent a while debating colors. I'm thinking charcoal or navy -- you don't need anything too splashy. I think the fact that you're wearing a personalized jumpsuit is statement enough. And, also, you want to stay away from the bright orange for fears of being mistaken for an escaped prisoner. Dad went so far as to get the sizes for each of us and I think he might actually do it! My Dad is a lunatic!
And I love him for it!
Half the fun of the whole thing would be just seeing my mom open it. God, I wonder if he'll actually go through with it. I feel his omnipresent cheapness will make its presence known and negate any jumpsuit-buying plans, but just the thought of us possibly getting them is entertainment enough.
