Characters in The Office

Today was the first day of work. It's a small office so I am certain I will have loads to talk about in the future. Well as soon as I start understanding what they are saying. The St Maarten accent is a bit hard to follow. I catch a few words and my active imagination fills in the rest.
So we have Charles. Charles is the acting head of the department who today had to make an executive decision to close the office tomorrow afternoon. Which he did after Jacky told him how the place was going to be deserted as all the other offices will be closed. As she painted the scenario, it was going to be just me and her in the office when some nutcase would walk in and tie us both done and rape us. Surely he didn't want that on his conscience. At which point I felt inclined to agree that I wasn't looking forward to being raped so it might be a good idea to listen to her.
In my little corner there is also Jahaira. She is the assistant researcher that I will be working closely with. She is the know it all in the office. That used to be me at one point in the past so it will be a good partnership I am sure.
Lastly I met Nacio. Nacio is the ladies man. I already know I will be hearing one story every day. Nacio has a girlfriend called Tammy or something like that and she is extremely jealous. Of course he claims she has no reason to but he just cannot help it that he is extremely friendly. This I know from personal experience as he clasped my hand in both of his and looked me deep in the eye when we were introduced. Apparently she had a hissy fit yesterday after he helped a very hot looking girl take pictures last night at the political rally. Now I didn't get all that was going on because he is a fast talker but eventually I will get everything.
Him and Jahaira are close friends. They say there is nothing between them and there never was but I have yet to proof that men and women can be friends without there ever being anything between them mutually or even one-sided. To be continued ...

Alone in the Office ...

Sitting alone in the office makes my mind wander. Maybe I have an active imagination, maybe have read too many books, maybe I have watched too much internet entertainment. I'm here working late, got to be ready for the holidays, right? Everyone has already gone home, Christmas shopping or just out having fun. Me? I am here enjoying some Ne-Yo ... One in a miiilllion parapapa. That boy is good. Even my Miss Independent self got to admit that he does make me go ooooohhh haaaaaa. Sitting alone in the office makes my mind wander. I start to think about hunky cleaners coming in after hours or an IT geek working long hours not realizing there is another person in the building. He makes himself comfortable .... really comfortable. See the air-conditioning can get very cold if you have been sitting in it for hours. I can understand that one might turn it off ... and then it gets to be sweltering hot. If you are wearing a suit and tie, you get hot. Really hot. Oh! Don't you know it .....

Listening to a Dialtone

The phone rang right in the middle of Glee. I jumped out of my chair and grabbed the receiver. There is a leak in the roof and they were going to try to fix it. I thought it was the builder telling me they couldn't fix it. Why would someone call when i am watching them perform New York? I snatch the phone and curtly say: "Hello?" Nothing... then a dialtone. I look at the receiver as if it was a person and scowl. Then I smile a little as jsut yesterday I had a conversation with Carlos about him calling and hanging up before I can answer the phone. According to him he lets the phone ring a million times before he hangs up and I say it rings maximum of three times. So now I am thinking that it is him "teaching" me a lesson. I call him back. The phone rings and no answer. Now I am mad. I can't believe I am missing Glee for this. I pledge revenge, hang up and make myself comfortable once again. Twenty minutes later, the phone rings again. Now, I will teach this...

Celebrity spotter 10, 9,...

Image
I added a new item to the list. Take pictures with 10 celebrities. Celebrity 10: Las t Friday we went to Jamie's new restaurant in Covent Garden. Standing there looking at the menu, I saw Gennaro. I've seen him on Saturday Kitchen before and remembered him because he said he didn't cook with olive oil; he only uses it for salads because it burns faster. Or so I remembered. After a lot of whispering I finally decided to approach him. So I asked him if he was the chef on Saturday Kitchen and if he was the one who doesn't cook with olive oil. He said No! I think that chef should be shot. I'm Italian and all Italians cook with olive oil, he says. He spoke with us for awhile and then moved on. Sitting there waiting for our food is when I added this item to my list. Gennaro is my first. After a very nice meal, we walk out of the restaurant and who do we spot? Louie Spence from Pineapple Dance Studio. Everyone loves him. He is just the most entertaining person to watch. Wo...
