This morning a woman that works with me calls in, not to me, and says that she is going to be late because she had to shovel herself out. Now, for those of you in the DC area, you'll know that we were hit and buried under almost two inches, so the need to unbury oneself is completely understandable. The other thing is that this woman calls in late all the time. And by all the time, I mean at least three times a week.
Here is the email conversation that occurred between two members of the staff upon reading this. In order to protect their true names I'll refer to them only as Sassy Kitty (SK) and Fabulosa (F)
SK: How much snow did you have on your sidewalk this morning?!?!?!? Were you able to make it to work on time?!?!
F: Well, I did have to put a battery drill on my dog's head and have her go through the snow first to make a tunnel so that I could crawl the 2 miles through the front lawn in order to get to my car which then had to be shoveled out with small pick axes.
SK: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA you too huh?!?!?!?
F: Yeah, good thing I got up at 4:30 in order to accomplish this, otherwise I would have been late. But I'd imagine that I could have shoveled better had I worn my ski jacket and not my full length orange chinchilla coat.
SK: YOU ARE KILLING ME!!! The CHINCHILLA FUR COAT is hilarious!!!!
F: it should be. cost a pretty penny.
SK: I'll bet.
F: But it does match the orange, mink Louis Vutton and the orange fox pelt chanel slingbacks.
SK: SHUT UP!!!! She has those?!?!?!?
F: Well, not that she's worn...it was a joke...but I'm sure she rocks the slingbacks...not in this weather, hard enough to walk through the snow.
SK: RIGHT!!!! We need to give her a FABULOUS name! You do the honors...
K: this will take time...I must contemplate it...seek a zen master and ask for his/her guidance.
That having been said...any Zen masters reading this?
