let’s talk about seeing Former Boss Gwen at the bookstore. It’s a funny story. Please don’t recommend that I should be institutionalized, OK?
So, I was sitting in a fast food drive through one Sunday afternoon. I’d gone…somewhere (library? mall?)…and promised Gene I’d bring him home a drink. I’m staring off in the distance while waiting in line (seriously, the Arby’s near my house is crazy slow) when I see what looks like Former Boss Gwen’s fairly distinctive car drive past, en route to the Open Aire Shopping Center near my house.
::lightbulb:: I think, I wonder if that’s Gwen and if so, I bet I know where she is going.
Now, a not batshit crazy person would collect their beverages from Arby’s and then go home to do…something (laundry?).
Thankfully, my friends, I was (am) wholly unmedicated and bored. I did wait for the drinks, though. I hit the parking lot at the Open Aire Shopping Center, ascertained that ::ding!:: it was in fact Gwen’s car (I recognized her bumper sticker).
Now, a non batshit crazy person would think, “Small world! I should go bring Gene his iced tea or perhaps Pepsi!”
Thankfully, my friends…unmedicated and still bored. And, ooh look, a nice empty parking space, right in front of the bookstore. I sat in the car for a moment and practiced my “Ohh, Hiiii! Fancy bumping into you here!” face then hopped out of the car to meet my doom fate former boss, Gwen.
I found her and did the whole bump into her thing (while looking at the bargain books section) and we chatted for a few minutes. She is still completely un-genuine and about as deep as a (shot) glass of water.
And then the minute I got home I called Denise to tell her the story. She laughed.
