Oh my god, I finished the book. I can’t help feeling sad.
Earlier today, I cancel my lunch appointment to go to “The Hut” with the cube gang. They were pretty much disgusted with me but I couldn’t be bothered.. I wanted to stay in for lunch and attempt to finish my book. Yes, I know, it screams “LOSER!” So they left giving me the ‘evil eye’.
Jeremy came to ask me out for lunch and he had that vein throbbing in the middle of his high forehead, I knew he was stressed. And with Kenny away today, I abandoned my book and went lunch with him. Upon returning, I was looking forward to continuing my read. But my book was gone from my desk. No one else was at the cube. I saw my boss in his room, door closed and on the fone. He looked pretty stressed - perhaps he’s on the fone with his crazy wife. I ran to the other end of the cube and asked the PA if she knew where is my book. Laughing, I said, “He who stole my book, will die a horrible death.”
By the time, slowly some of the people came back from “The Hut” and I told them about my book. They think it’s funny and was sure it was a practical joke. I’m sure of it too. I yelled, “But my bookmark… I won’t know where I read until..” Everything thought THAT was funny. I wasn’t joking.
They asked me if it was my boss and I defended him by saying, “But he is not funny that way.” Everyone laughed again. Seemed like everything I said was hilarious. The last part of the gang came back and also thought it was my boss. Someone shouted, “He is not funny that way.” Everyone roared into a hilarious fit.
We searched everywhere including one of the boys sitting near me. Everyone from the cube returned except him. I suspected him coz he was the only one around when I left for lunch, but we already searched his bag and drawers. I gave up, waiting for him to return. Sitting down, planning to call KL about the missing book, one of the girls yelled out and said that Nick had it. He hid it behind his computer. Brilliant I thought. Everyone had a good laugh and I wrote a note - “YOU ARE A DEAD MAN!!” and pasted it on his computer and then left for a meeting.
I came back from meeting only to realised Nick just came back 1 minute before me and asked who left him the note. Apparently, he had forgotten about practical joke and left for a meeting. Hahaa..
Funniest practical joke ever.
My Harry Potter adventure day haven’t even ended when I returned from an office meeting with a bottle of beer and sat at my desk reading away. It was close to the ending. People soon returned back getting ready to go home. Rose, one of the kids, walked by me and scream, “OH MY GOD!!! YOU ARE SUCH A LOSER!! CAN’T BELIEVE YOU ARE MISSING DRINKS JUST TO SIT HERE AND READ HARRY POTTER!! I DON’T KNOW YOU!!”
I explained that I had a bottle of beer accompanying me and that makes me less a nerd. Still, I have to agree with her since I’m not upstairs gulping large quantity of free alcohol.
Soon, more people returned and I merely explained that I’m just waiting for my husband to pick me up. That was less humiliating.
