Yesterday was the last day at work before the merger closed. So, there was a lunch with cake and some free beer towards the end of the day. Yep, 4pm rolled around and we all walked over to Thirsty Bear and drank a couple of pints. Yum. I had two Double Hallucinations. Belgian White with about 8% alcohol content. Definite yum.
That was all fine and dandy, with some tapas too. And Ma., I., L. and I were the last ones there. We decided to head somewhere else and continue the frivolity. L. is awesome! From Wisconsin and there's just a certain vibe about her that makes me smile. She doesn't take crap from anyone and I don't annoy the hell out of her. Unlike some people....
We stopped at Kate O'Brien's and had another pint or two. Then Mi. and C. showed up. The two bash brothers of geekdom. They had sly smiles on their faces and reluctantly showed us their handiwork. They had just spent some time pulling a prank on the boss. S.'s office has glass walls next to the door and it has an angle to it. So, they filled up the front of the office (the entire glass wall) with packing peanuts. They built some sort of barrier in the back to hold everything upright. And from the front, it looks like his office is packed with peanuts.
So cool.
So we drank to their clever idea. And then drank some more. Then C. had to go home. Ma. and I. soon followed him. That left Mi., L. and I to drink more beer. I invited Marie out. The four of us were laughing and cracking jokes and harmlessly flirting until twelve thirty. Oops.
But it was very awesome.... I do believe that Mi. is currently available. And he was flirting quite obviously. Well, at least to me he was obvious. Now - is that just him? Or is it something? I really don't care right now to be honest. It's fun to have some sort of flirting outlet, no matter if it amounts to anything.
I might change my mind in the course of this job, but for now... it's nice. It's all in good fun and it doesn't hurt our working relationship, which is.. .I'm not sure what. All I know is that I seem to fit in OK. C. doesn't approve of some of my annoying traits. Mi. told me, since C. would never confront anyone about small stuff. C. also probably broke a rib on Easter weekend, but doesn't complain too much. So... doubtful he'd ever speak up and confront anyone unless it was important.
But back to the fun stuff... I get to flirt with someone. Grin.
In other news, there was a drunken idiot who thought he would drive downtown the easy way - through the metro subway tunnel. It comes above ground at West Portal and this yahoo was dead set on getting downtown at 2am. He made it two miles before wedging his Nissan in the tunnel where it narrows. Good thing MUNI doesn't run at that time of night, otherwise.... But it meant it took an hour to get to work today, and it normally takes only thirty minutes.
Some April Fool's joke. I think I like peanuts better.
