resident Christmas party
i wasn't going to go. i haven't worked one since 1998, when i was paid for it. it's a completely insane evening with all the residents' families coming for dinner in our tiny nursing home that doesn't have a party room. so it's very crowded, with families eating in the entryway and hallway and wherever we can sqeeze a table.
amanda kept bugging me for weeks to go this year, though. but i really didn't want to. i try to stay away from that building as much as possible when i'm not working. 'oh, but it's fun!' 'oh, but it's not like other nights!' 'oh, but you get to visit with the families!' 'oh, but we're going out afterwards!' to which i replied, 'but it's crowded.' 'but i'd still be here.' 'but i don't know the families and i don't like small talk.' 'call me when you're done and i'll meet you there.'
so then yesterday good-looking maintenance guy said, 'are you coming tonight?' and i said, 'no.' to which he replied, 'well, you should come.' so i did. :)

actually it was more like 'are you coming?' 'no.'
'why not?' 'because i'm not on the schedule. i worked today.'
'it's called volunteering.' i gave him a slightly annoyed, slightly guilty look.
'you should come.'
and then later he told me to again. i then spent the rest of my shift thinking, 'this is so stupid. you've said for weeks you wouldn't go, and now you're gonna go just cuz he said you should? you're so dumb. boys are dumb. but i'm dumber cuz i know i'm going to go now.'
but it was worth it cuz he looked Good!
LOL!!!
So... Note to Chelley: Let's coordinate a ransom of that good-looking maintenance guy and use him to tell Melilot to move to Iowa!!!
:P
lol, what's amanda going to think?
ooh, good idea, linda! plus also, we have lots of good-looking maintenance guys here, ya know... :)
and mel, did you look Good too? did you wear your cute shoes? ;) yeah, engaged & living together so doesn't mean he's off the market... ;)
i told amanda. she laughed.
i did look cute, if i do say so myself. some of the residents didn't recognize me. :)) everyone commented on how cute my shoes were, but they weren't the ones i bought with you. they're sparkly gold stilletos (that i got for the indian wedding)and they are so cute. glmg commented that i looked like i had grown, so i showed him my shoes, only to realize much later what a hussy i am for then sticking out my leg and showing him my shoes (like when she was hitchhiking in 'it happened one night' but you wouldn't know about that).
'glmg' looks so ugly like that. i think i'll go back to typing the whole thing 'good-looking maintenance guy.'
glmg doesn't have to look ugly. adn you don't have to type the whole thing. you could say "golomanguy" or "golomangy" or "glomang" ... hehe those first couple words makes me think of indian thriller
i like "golomangy" - call him that :)
i like indian thriller -- call him girly man ;) ...and you hussy! go you! ;)
those first two very look like indian thriller. i don't think i can call him something with the word mangy in it, though.
