It Is What It Is...

for fun.  Except I didn’t.  Now I feel like I’m doing everyone a favor by being here.  As if it’s Saturday and I came in to catch up on some things.

My boss has a habit of heating up her coffee.  She comes in with a medium coffee every day at 10:30am and will continuously reheat her coffee until she leaves at 7:00pm.  I myself have been known to be a slow sipper when it comes to coffee, but 9-10 hours is pushing it. 

Today she put it in the microwave and then went back to her desk and forgot about it.  That’s the other funny thing about her habit..she forgets that she is heating it up.  After ten minutes or so, she comes back and has to reheat it again!  This cycle is so vicious!! 

In conclusion, I don’t think she is even drinking the coffee.  I think it’s an ocd habit and she can’t go on with her day without having coffee to reheat and then forget that she reheated so she must re-reheat again.



(Speaking of my habits…, I always carried a bottle of water with me.  I would come home at night and realized I hadn’t even opened it.  Remember Cher in Clueless had that mesh water bottle holder/purse thing?  I think I wanted that.  Anyway, I still carried around my “just in case I need some” water until I saw some Lewis Black comedy special where he made a joke about people carrying water around with them as if we were crossing the Mojave Desert every day.  Since then I have stopped.)

Someone put soy nuggets in the microwave and now it smells like weird soy nuggets.

My boss will come back from lunch and walk over to me and say, “it smells like meat in here.”

I will give her a blank stare because a) we go through this every time this person makes nuggets, b) I didn’t make it smell like meat in here and c) go spray something then.

I think this time I will pretend like I have no idea what she’s talking about.  “Meat?  It smells like geraniums in here!”

So the lady at work who had the semi secretive wedding (as in she was wearing a ring for a few months, but she wasn’t “engaged” because it was a “promise” ring) and got married last week came back from their sort of honeymoon.  This week has been her being upset over the following:

“No on congratulated me on my marriage”
“No one sent me a gift”
“I sent (redacted) a gift for her wedding, but I never received one from her”
“I would expect (redacted) to at least say something”

Or my favorite, which she says to everyone she speaks to on the phone:
“Hello.  I’M MARRIED!!”

Should I tell her that she didn’t get gifts was because a) she didn’t actually have a wedding and b) no one knew she got married, let alone was engaged?
