She was fired on Wednesday. When the department manager made her big announcement to prevent the rumor mill the reason given was the same one that management tried to trump up on me. You know if you're really good at something there's shit that's forgivable but when you're fair to middling and barely keeping the status quo then one's world is a bubble in a universe full of needles.
I drove up to see raddidge and took her out to dinner because I needed to relax and I was an asshole to her on Sunday. We had a lovely dinner at the Chinese buffet near her place. For those of you playing along on the east coast, near is relative when one's state is full of wide open spaces. The waitress was lovely and made raddidge smile and I gave her an eight dollar tip.
We were still on and he said to come over at six. Six? An hour earlier than usual?
I phoned my sister and decided to invite her without Jaybird and maribou's permission to surprise them even though they hate surprises.
At the Birdhouse, Jaybird and maribou are dressed like they're going out. Jaybird explains that we're going to Del Taco over on Garden of the Gods because it's taco night there and the Birdhouse has to stay clean for an upcoming appraisal. I break down and explain that my sister's still in town and I was going to surprise them.
An hour and a half later, two hungry birds, my sister and myself are on our way to the Front Range Grill. Unfortunately they have live music and no one was going to be freeing up a table anytime soon so we went to Del Taco.
I hope everyone had fun and no one was put off.
