Hello, Crazy

So I went back to my regular work job this week.

By Wednesday, it felt like I had never even left. Like the past 5 months of amazing bliss hadn't even happened. I was back to my regular routine, sitting at my desk and hating on life. Every time my phone rang, it was some sort of complaint and I was physically cringing at it.

On top of my soul-sucking day job, there's also the Crazy Coworker. I visited him on Monday to catch up. He told me about his New Year's Eve and how much he hates countdowns and that he usually leaves to have a smoke when everyone is ringing in the new year. He then proceeded to count down in a nasally voice, "Ten... nine... eight..."

I told him I was going to use that voice for all countdowns from now on.

I admired the two calendars he had up on the walls, and he pointed at one and said, "I got totally JEWED on that one."

I scolded him at that point, "Don't say that!!"

And then he pointed he out that the calendar in question was in fact, a Jewish calendar. So I guess he actually did... Anyway, he went on to say that the Jewish calendar starts/ends in September, so what the hell is he going to do for the rest of the year? So he was forced to go buy a second calendar because he didn't want to get sucked into the Jewish cycle and have to buy a calendar every September at FULL PRICE.

He told me about how his monitor died and that he put in an IT Request to the help desk and did not get any help for 2 weeks. So, he had to go around to see who wasn't in or who called in sick for the day and would have to unhook that person's monitor and lug it into his office to use. The image of him doing this for 2 weeks brought me immense amounts of joy, especially when he was completely agitated while telling me this story.

Otherwise, he's still the same brand of crazy that I left behind five months ago. He's obsessed with his complexion still and is now convinced that he may have lupus.

Ah yes, it's been awhile hasn't it.
