Ali’s Meanderings

Michelle* (named changed to protect the innocent – not that she is) asked me today, “Why do you never blog anymore?”. Let me just start at the beginning.

Michelle is a co-worker, and we have become pretty good working buddies. You know, the person that you probably hang out with the most while at work, but you just don’t socialize a lot outside of work because A: You live about 40 minutes away from each other OR B: You both have kids and your life almost revolves more around their schedule than your own. (That is the story I’m sticking to – tee hee). Well that is us. I am an assistant to her position, so we do tend to have many jobs that we work on together.

So after many of my complaints, whining, and bitching to you all about the last couple of weeks here at work, you would THINK that she knows why I haven’t blogged much.  I’m tired.  I have nothing positive to share.  I have nothing more than complaints it feels like and I’m so tired of being on the computer from being at work that getting on the computer at home is almost pulling  teeth (well, okay that is exaggerated just a bit).  Anyway, that was the question posed to me today and I thought, well, hell,….might as well make the most of it and talk all about Michelle.

So, Michelle is 30, she is the mother of 2 beautiful children.  1 girl age 9 and 1 boy age 5.  Her husband (well, do I really want to get into all that??!  Sure why not), her husband absolutely adores her.  Michelle is blond haired, blue eyed, you know – the kind you wanna just kick in the ass – but she is too down to earth to REALLY want to do that to.    We both listen to our music while working, or I listen to hers if I haven’t even gotten that far in the morning.  She usually makes the coffee, and sometimes (because she <3’s me) – she will bring me in a coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts or something.  We IM constantly through the day.  Her office is RIGHT next to mine, well technically I moved down to this part of the hallway at the beginning of the year and she was already in her office.  We go to lunch together sometimes.  Her and I make up ‘The Word of The Day’, usually the more vulgar the more we laugh.  You HAVE to laugh to get through it here sometimes.  But she still has that innocence about her, where sometimes, I tend to go overboard on the vulgar and she will just look at me and shake her head like, “Why in the world do I deal with this WHACK job crazy person?”  But she does, and she accepts me for who I am, as I feel that I accept her as herself as well.  I’m not saying that we agree on everything but we seem to balance it very well.

So Michelle, this was a HIGHLIGHT of you!  I hope that you enjoy it.  And I will TRY harder to keep up with my blog on a more constant basis.
