Work Freaks and Weekend Geeks...
For once I had several amusing moments at work today. The first was the boy at lunch time who asked me what an 'introduction' was and the second were the questions being thrown at me by two boys from the "special class" which were so random and entertaining, "How do you get to work?", "How much do you earn?", "Do you need qualifications to do your job?" and "Do you have a boyfriend?" the startled looks on their little faces when they realised that yes, education doesn't guarantee you a job in the future and I am paid foolishly well for little work was a near highlight. What topped it off though was finding out they hate my boss as much as me :)
Had an interesting Friday/Saturday with the metrodomestic manchild who continues to confuse and baffle me on a daily basis. He brought along four little soldiers (an orc, tau, imperial and something else) and a Warhammer rule book with the sweet intentions of teaching me the game. I was touched, really, but he explains so fast because of course, its obvious to him and things went totally over my head when he whipped out the fourth dice! Still, I shall look into aquiring a rule book to try and understand things further.
Then we went to the movies, which I'd told him he was paying for and he begrudgingly did so. We were standing there, at the counter as he paid by credit card and he started bragging about how he was prepared and pulled a pen from his pocket. He proudly turned down the use of the cinema girls pen as he informed me of this great feat of being penned up as I did my usual, "you're not normal sweetie" smile. Then, and I can't forget how it came out, he declared "I didn't invite you along" *big grin* and I blinked and shook my head wanting to drag him away from cinema girl and the rest of the public because he's an idiot. How is, Him: "Movies friday?" Me: "V for Vendetta?" Him: "Yep" not inviting me huh?
Back at my place we parked it on my bed and watched the Simpsons/Family Guy/South Park/American Dad episodes I'd taped for him while he'd been away. It was 1am by the time this finished and so we bothered to finally get under the covers (I like that part because he takes off his shirt)and he asked what was on next. It was "Eurotrash" and he was quite excited by the prospect of naked breasts, he ohhed and ahhed right up until the sexy European lasses were coated in offal...karma :)
Lights out, trying to sleep and he decides its time to tickle me. In the pitch black I of course flail and giggle and oops elbow him right in the nose. How did he react? Whined and sulked like a girl and demanded I make it up to him...apparently I've emotionally traumatised him and my defense of "you're an idiot" won't hold up in court.
Now, despite his preference to wrestle with me as opposed to y'know proper adult affection he sill managed to floor me before he left. He (a) couple dressed our desktops and (b) I found out he's told his closest friends (and the canteen lady?) about us...and there I was thinking he was ashamed of me...and these people know me as "the missus". I think he was taken aback that I call him my quasi-boyfriend and there was no way I was telling him he's referred to affectionately as "the idiot".
*sigh* so all is happy and full of bunnies right? I was probably confident for about a day but now he's having an affair with opflashpoint and I couldn't get his attention if I sat on his lap naked with a bottle of chocolate sauce and some handcuffs.
This is my life at the moment:
