You know what really sucks? When your shoelaces conspire against you. And if that's not bad enough, when they conspire against you and end up helping G--. By now you should want to hear the sad tale of my life as a government employee. If not, well, then you suck. I was bored. Before my eyes lay nothing but mounds and mounds of paperwork. That's what they never end up telling you. Life as an LEO is nothing more than paperwork. I tell you this now, in hopes that you'll consider yourself warned. I don't enjoy paperwork. So instead I play Freecell on the computer. (Note: I don't know how to play Freecell). It wasn't very exciting. I don't remember what the deal was (translation: I do know, but I'm not going to tell you), but those who wanted to, could respond to a 10-35 for SPD. You don't have to know us real well to know that when the lieu gives a go-ahead on a 10-35 on a day when nothing is happening and everyone's bored shitless, the room evacuates. Real fast like, for fear that those who are too slow will have to stay. So the smart ones rushed out and pretended we didn't here the "I DIDN'T mean all of you!" To make a long story short (since I'm rather babbling here aren't I?) we show up to the waterfront, and they hadn't really needed a 10-35 (damn rookies!). So we were faced with a decision. We could please our bosses and turn around and go back, or we could hang around doing nothing until the scene cleared and look cool to those who didn't know that we were hanging around and doing nothing and to those who wished that they could hang around and do nothing like us. Guess which one we chose? Well, R-- was nice like usual and decided to help out SPD, the rest of us hung around looking important. We're SOG's now we can look real cool. Anyway, G-- was standing just a little too close to the edge of the dock, you know. And so he fell in. He wasn't happy. He swears up and down that I pushed him, but I mean, c'mon, you know my relationship with G--. Yes I'd push him in, but revoke the opportunity to brag about it when I did??!! No, G-- FELL in. Co-- takes my side on this one, so see I'm not making htis up. So G-- climbs out dripping wet, and glares at me. So I think "Self, this doesn't look good." G-- takes a step in my direction, a wicked gleam in his eye, "Self," I think, "Run!!" I ran. G-- pursued. Everything was fine until I tripped over my shoelaces. The aftermath was not pretty. Only G-- didn't push me. I fell in myself. And I took J-- with me. That was an accident, I swear it. I merely grabbed on to him for support, trying to balance myself you know, I didn't expect him to come in after me. J-- wasn't thrilled by his sudden dampness and tried to drown me. Knowing that we'd have a hell of a time explaining this one, the three of us darted home to change, before returning to Ca--'s lair. She still doesn't know. G-- still claims I pushed him. J-- still doesn't believe that is was an accident. And SPD thinks we're real weird. Ah, yes, the taxpayers money at work.
Back to Mind Scrap *S*.
