Miss Kubelik, one doesn't get to be a second administrative assistant around here unless he's a pretty good judge of character, and as far as I'm concerned you're tops. I mean, decency-wise and otherwise-wise.

look alive

there's a man who passes my cubicle on a regular basis and every single time - every single time - mumbles something like, 'look alive people,' or 'wake up,' or 'keep on keepin on.' and i must say that he doesn't slow or make eye contact when he makes these comments.

today he walked past and said, 'nice sweater.' (i do happen to have on a new sweater on today)

who knows.


the most conversation i've ever had with this guy happened last friday when he came up and leaned over the wall of my cubicle and said, 'you know anyone who needs a horse trailer? real nice. a buddy of mine is selling it.'
