Today was really rough at work. I abhor being emotional at work, but I misunderstood something that someone said (bad hearing) and I was thrown by a loop for thinking that Tiffany was basically leaving everything and everyone behind. I walked up to her in disbelief and asked what I'd ever done to her, and she was upset that I was upset, I started choking back tears, and she started choking back tears and then we started yelling at each other for making each other cry.
I actually told my manager, "I can't do my job and your job too. I just can't."
He looks at me and says, "Just be nice, Linda" Which is just one of their stupid little sayings. Except, he's using it to try and get me to 'be nice' when he deserves to be throttled.
I swear, more drama than a high school prom queen race.
So, Tracy and I walked again today, it started turning cold and rainy, and yet it was still sunny in a couple spots. I thought to myself, "I wonder if I'll get a rainbow out of this." Then immediately thought, "Probably not."
Then I look up and I see it.
Big beautiful double rainbow stretching across the sky. Extremely vivid against a dark grey brood of cumulonimbus.
Of course, I love rainbows and I don't think to hide my enthusiasm. I just say, "Oh my God! Yes! Yes! Yes!"
Tracy, who hasn't a clue of the rainbow yet, looks at me with utter confusion, and finally looks in the direction that I'm pointing.
She says, "Pot of Gold, It's mine"
and starts running.
I say, "Not if I get there first, Bitch!" And try to pass her.
We decide to go into the graveyard that we pass every day, and watch the rainbow until it fades.
Absolutely Gorgeous.
Also, I had a package waiting for me when I got home. Calima has sent me the first season of Buffy! I'm totally stoked about this, as I've been meaning to get into this for a while. I remember it came on twice a day when I was in Glasgow and many times Calima and I would sit in front of the telly watching Buffy and sipping tea or chocolate malt. hmmmm malt.
Thank you thank you thank you.
Let me just add this. There's nothing quite like getting real mail.
xxxxxxxx
