As work was finishing yesterday I was talking with the team a bit. I was trying to
get Julianne to translate a bunch of stuff into chinese for me. Turns out its
easier to get children to take medicine. She drinks loads of Giggle-Juice for lunch
every day, or hard liquor. So then I turned to the Thai's and they started helping
me. (its just that I wasnt' planning on carving Thai into my Man-Box. I guess they
have dragons in Thailand too...) but We started translating everyones name. like
Smith, Anderson, Feldman, or the like. It was fun and informative. My friend
here, he goes by Ta. We started looking for a good replacement name, cause when
vendors come in and ask for our names so they can report to their superiors about
how great we are we give our proper names; for example I'd tell them James instead
of Jim. Ta on the otherhand confuses them a little bit. his full first name is
Yuthadanai. We were looking thru baby names that would start with a Y, but there
wernt' any easier names, so I think we're sticking with Ta for now.
It was supposed to be TV night. It was a Thursday afterall. The Office was
supposed to be on, the internet said so. But when the time came, nothing. A dumb
episode of My name is Earl instead. I decided to write a complaint letter to Jeff
Zucker. He's an old buddy of mine (CEO of NBC/Universal). We just can't be having
irresponsable television programming like this. Who cares about that silly
basketball tournament, we the people need our usual programming!
So our UPS guy is my buddy now. Every time he comes in he yells my name from behind
our entry wall (wether I'm there or not). Ya, I think its a little weird too. So
do my co-workers. I keep teasing Julianne that I'm going to introduce her to him,
she sits three desks away from me, but I'm pretty sure that would just be a funny
disaster. He's down with that stylish hip-hop lingo and slang. Yesterday he kept
calling me 'Player'. Maybe next time he comes in I'll try to find out his name.
I'm listening to Pearl Jam.
