If the title of this post gave you a mental image of Michael Scott nailing Granny, like the boss and his coffee mug from Office Space, then you are fucked up, and you should leave now.

Instead, the title is a reference to the fact that I work with someone who is so much like Michael Scott, that it literally isn't even funny. He's a middle-aged engineer with a productivity level of a special needs child. He walks from office to office (there are 4 offices in my trailer, not including his) sparking up random convos and stories. I heard him giving the full synopsis to The Social Network to the poor girl next to me who hadn't seen it, and I wanted to blow up the whole trailer, as a martyr. Today he rolled into my office, because he heard me talking to one of the cooler cats about tequila. He wanted to let me know that he knew a few things about tequila... like how to mispronounce Reposado and Anejo. He also pointed out, since I talked about wine with other people, that the famed Franzia is boxed in the town where he lives. Wow, if he were any cooler, they'd put an ad on our website of him riding his mountain bike around by himself. Oh shit, they did!
Granny just got back out of the hospital today. On Tuesday, Mom called me hysterical because they had to rush Granny back into the hospital. That makes time #3 since Xmas Day, and she's spent less time at home than in the hospital since this all hit the fan. Apparently, on Tuesday she fell and Mom couldn't help her back up. She was having some of the same problems that she had around Xmas, and an ambulance was called. While in the hospital this time, they found cancer in her other (right) lung, and gave her a full-body PET scan. Nobody knows the results yet, but she still sounds like she has stroke-face. She said she was so happy to take a nap today without anybody "poking her to wake her up and take a blood sample". I'm not ready to deal with that, but everyone is pushing me to go back and visit her. I know it would lighten her day, but it'd suck for me, and I'm selfish.
So, I guess I'm torn between hanging with Michael Scott or Granny,

ReplyDeleteI can't believe I noticed this, but isn't Michael Scott from The Office? And isn't the picture of Bill Lumbergh?
ReplyDelete"a mental image of Michael Scott nailing Granny, like the boss and his coffee mug from Office Space"
ReplyDeleteIn my head, I pictured the scene where Peter pictures Bill screwing Joanna and having 'O'-face while holding his coffee mug. I didn't think a description of the reference was required.
