the almost embarrassing story of bad butt pants and good bras
it's still snowing. because that's what it does here. but, there is a plus side. good-looking maintenance guy was at work this morning to plow. (happy birthday to me!) he came in and said hi and all that, then headed out the door.
a little later i was whining because i had to wear my bad butt pants today (all my other work pants somehow ended up in the laundry at the same time). the cook feigned sympathy (he's a boy - he doesn't understand), then said, 'oh man, and good-looking maintenance guy saw you in them, too.' 'i know - i thought of that.'
i then went out to the dining room and was talking with karol, saying the same thing. then i mentioned a scene from the canadian show 'corner gas' in which the woman who works at the gas station was all disappointed because they didn't have their normal delivery guy, and here she had worn her good bra because he was supposed to come that day. since good-looking maintenance guy was long gone, i felt free to admit to karol (without whispers) that i knew exactly how she felt because back when good-looking maintenance guy was at the home regularly (every tues and wed), i used to wear my good bras on tuesdays and wednesdays. not that it did me any good, nor did i expect it to, as i still had to wear a man's polo shirt and a hairnet so i wasn't exactly foxy, but as she then said, it made me feel better. and we laughed, and then the dining room door opened and we heard (jokingly) 'you ladies need to quiet down in here. you're too loud, and having too much fun.'
yeah, apparently good-looking maintenance guy had not yet left. his car was not in the parking lot not because he wasn't there, but because he has a new car. thank heaven that door is a fire door, so i don't think he heard us, but oh heaven's that was way too close!

I really like that the cook calls him 'good-looking maintenance guy' too. :)
:P :)
and he has admitted that good-looking maintenance guy is good-looking
I'm sorry to leave an unrelated comment, but have you seen Zachary Levi's Nerd Machine company/website? Try this link first (it's a mighty good pic, if you ask me): http://www.thenerdmachine.com/products/men/mens-shirts/mens-machine-black/
LOL!!! That WAS close... and that's a good sign of financial health that he has a new car ;-)
mary - i'm all for unrelated comments. esp when they relate to one of my potential future husbands. ;) yes, i have been there. i like his little introduction. i almost bought myself a nerd machine winter hat when i had a 15% coupon, but decided against it when it still came to $20 with shipping and i realized i would never really wear it, as cute as it might be. i've been looking for a water bottle, though, and really wish they had one. and that's my long answer of that. :D
I thought the same thing as chelley. And I would be so embarrassed if someone overheard that conversation! So you talk to the male cook about good looking maintenance guy???
once i found out he knew about my mad crush and had been nice enough not to say anything for years, i figured it was safe to say a few things now and then. i do draw the line at the bra story, though.
great title!
I didn't know you get Corner Gas!
So glad you didn't get caught- although if you had, who knows what might have happened!! ;)
You make me smile. Once again your life is so much more interesting than mine. :D
we don't, but when my aunt and uncle lived in vancouver for a year, they did, then they brought the wonderfulness home with them :)
I see.
I may have to send you some Little Mosque on the Prairie.
Very similar wonderfulness!
