I have worked in many different places in my life...but this place i am now is pretty much one of the craziest ever....
Think about having a boss who hugs you on a daily basis...this doesn't happen to all the girls, its true...it happens to me pretty often but it happens because he is a clueless, gentle big bear ....
Today we had a goodbye party for one girl who was in temp assignemnt...she is from Kenia........a very nice lady.....between mine and her accent we have been carrying on pretty crazy conversation at time, mistaking words and meanings......one day we almost got on each other nerve only to found out we were saying the same thing but with a different pronounciation....
Well, the party had pizza and cake and drinks.......at one point we had people sitting on the floor or swinging around on the chairs, dancing with some odd song of Abba blasting from the comp speakers of our Canadian co-worker......a pretty unusual office party, if you think.....
Now, i am officially known as the Office Geisha.......no kidding....it seems i have healing power in my hands and everybody is begging me for neck or shoulder massages...i give them because they de-stresses me too....
.
So i was kindly massaging whoever was asking me for orgasmic bits of pleasure when i happened to start massaging my boss's shoulder and he was commenting on how strong my hands are.........we were talking about movies when one of the girls looked at us and said out loud "Hey, you are a cute couple. He is single, right?"
Heck, wrong.....he is married and with 3 kids....everybody started to laugh......i immediately lifted my hands from his shoulder and he blushed so badly i could see the red on top of his bold head....too cute....

Our newly appointed team leader is nuts for this work philosophy called Fish.
Ever heard of it?
There is a whole website and books and seminars and games and therapies that teach how to achieve a high energy-smile inducing-good vibration-positive attitude kind of approach to work and life in general...
Even being the skeptical i am i have been draggegd into it ...because of my artistic skill. So today I have been assigned the task of drawing...... fishes....
Yes, fishes...each one based on the different personalities of each member of our team...
She asked us to choose a fish to be associated with....
I proposed a sea urchin...it seems its not acceptable in the fish category...so i proposed to be a sea meaiden......nope...no half fishes here ...we need to be true fishes...
But everybody apparently had the same idea for me ....i am a Lola, the bad and exotic fish girl in "Shark tale" the one with the long, fluctuating tail who drives the other fish crazy........uhmmm.
Ok, Lola i will be......and this week end i will be drawing fishes on flashcards to be attached to our desks........hey, everything works for me as long as they will give me a good review next month.....:-)
In this crazy office we have a plant named Priscilla that we carry with us at any move me have been subjected to...3 moves up to now...the last final move will take place at the end of the month....to the brand new and mysterious third floor.......
Oh, I also have been asked out for a date today, after the party........
Apparently, this guy has been asking questions about me by sometime and today, since he is friend with a girl who works with me, he went to our section and started to talk with her.
She called me from her desk and told me that he was crazy for my boots.
Yes, i am also known as the Girl with the black boots.
It looked like we were in high school.......you know....he was talking to her and she talking to me....end of the story, i have found out that next Friday i will go out with him for a date during a happy hour.
People, its ages i dont go to an happy hour......somebody wil have to help me out there.....it seems like i agreed to go with this girl, another coworker and this guy...
Oh, he is black guy, nice, tall, so much younger than me......
Only for the love of some stats.....he is going to be my first date with a black guy...
