My Colleague

Friday, August 25th, 2006

I chatted with my friend a few days ago and she asked why I am not blogging regarding my officemate anymore.  I told her that people reading my blogs might think I am so mean.  She said, "Don’t worry about other people.  I always read your blogs; they make me laugh."  This friend of mine is based in UAE so somehow she could relate to my stories.

So where do I start? Lemme think???…Okay, here’s why I’m so fond of him.

  • He complains every single day to me and me and me.  I don’t understand why….as if I can do something about it.
  • He walks around the office all the time and at the end of the day, he tells me that he was not able to finish reviewing my report. Duhhh?….
  • Honestly, I cannot understand him when he talks.  As in literally, there were times I couldn’t understand a single word….Grabe as in, O my gosh what did he just say?
  • His vocabulary is amazing.  It’s funny because I always check them at dictionary.com and actually find their meaning.

There’s a lot more, but you know what? He could be throughtful at times…Anyway, as long as he doesn’t mess with my projects, I’ll be fine.
