I forgot that today wasn't the day that woman and I take care of Mikomi. This is the day she goes over to my father's place. But, because I spaced and it was getting late, I called my oldest son to tell him she hadn't arrived.
At first I tried to call his cell phone number, and couldn't get through, so I called R&D directly. (I cannot stand that overly eager woman who answers the phone at the Capsule Corporation. She's just too blasted cheerful for words.) Well, first I get this bonehead guy who talks very very slowly. "Hello (long pause) Uh, this is, uh, well, uh, wait a second, lemme think. (another long pause) Capsule corporation... uh, R&D department, uh, (yet another very long pause) can I help you?"
"I need to speak to Tanomi Briefs, this instant."
"Wow, that's pretty heavy. You sound in a rush. You, uh, need to relax, dude. Chill, mellow out, take a nice long walk and smell the flowers."
He's just lucky he's on the phone so I can't kill him. "Don't you tell me what to do, I want to speak to Tanomi, now. This is in regards to his daughter."
"Ah, the little one. Tanomi talks a lot about her. Got her picture on his desk. I'll bet she's less uptight than you..."
By now I was almost chipping my teeth, I had them gritted so hard. "GET TANOMI NOW!"
"Wow, man, mellow out! Okay, okay!"
Well, finally he gets my son on the phone. Thanks to the idiot I spoke with first, I was a little upset. "Tanomi, Miko isn't over this house. Should I go to the school?"
"Uh, Dad, she's over at Grandfather's."
"Oh, I forgot."
I hung up pretty fast. Now Tanomi probably thinks I'm mad at him, when I'm not, I'm mad at the idiot who answered the phone. What type of people do they have working in that place anyway?
So, I guess tomorrow I'll have Mikomi over here. They stayed for pizza the other night. Maybe we can get them to stay tomorrow. We can always do Chinese food, if I can get the other three to makes sure to tell me what they want before I order it.
That woman has been spending a lot of time in her lab lately. I wonder what she's working on. Right now she has Victoria in with her. I offered to keep her out with me longer, because to be honest, she's really no trouble at all. But, my mate is claiming it's her turn to spend time with the child.
I should be training while I have this chance, not writing in this stupid thing.
Of course, I'd rather be going over to Capsule Corp and kicking the snot out of that idiot who answered the phone.
