The Love Show!

From Fourhman.com:

This week's best bit from work.

One of the funniest things we do at work is spontaneously creating characters, usually vulgar or inspired by a twisted view of one of our fellow employees. Like Franz the German guy who likes balls (yes, those balls), or turning someone else in the department into a polite-yet-dangerous sexual predator. This week, the guys were pissed at me over some imagined slight, so it was my turn to be characterized... as the guy who will no longer be invited to Game Night.

Them: "Sweet game night planned... Brawl, Olympics, Guitar Hero... SHHH, here comes Joe."

Me: "Hey guys, did I hear a game night?"

Them: "Yeah, no. Not really, shame you can't come, right?"

Me: "Oh. Oh, sure. I guess I am busy. Still, I can meet up online, right?"

Them: "Right, yeah. Online. We'll all totally be in, uh, Endless Ocean around, say, nine. We'll see you there; bring your, uh, fish!"

And the final scene was me in SCUBA gear, alone, waiting in the Endless Ocean lobby zone for hours, listening to a single MP3 looping over and over again... Billy Joel's "Captain Jack."

These are the people with whom I work and play. We have fun. And it's about time one of our little spontaneous one-act plays made it to the Internets.

Reading this made me terribly happy.

Thank you, Joe.



Oh, and sorry to learn you thought we'd be on Endless Ocean last Friday. I meant to say NEXT Friday. So, yeah...this Friday night, around 10, be there. Bring your wetsuit, 'cuz we gonna' be SWIMMIN'!

Lots of cool fish to check out - man, am I pumped for that!
