this is my life:
so about 2 weeks ago, i posted this on Gay Men Rule.
are you with me? ok, good...
for the last week, Merlin hasn't left my side. he is there when i get to work at 7:15, sits with me all through the day (even at my desk during lunch) and leaves with me at 5. again, i wanna say how sweet and friendly he is. he's also incredibly talkative. he talks continually, the entire time we're together. i don't know how he does it; i stopped listening about 3 days ago. my only saving grace is that i've got the girls at work, with whom i chit-chat throughout the day.
this week, however, Merlin and i are in New Jersey...together..."alone". i don't pal out with people from the other departments, and since there's nobody else there from our department (except for one anti-social supervisor), we're each other's sole source of social interaction. by 8am my well of patience had run dry. i just wanted to teach him and go home. i was hoping he'd stay in the cafeteria for lunch...no such luck. by 4, i'd not gotten up except to go to the printer, and i had to urinate like you wouldn't believe. so i told the supervisor i was running to the john and figured i'd hang out for a breather. alas, no sooner did i unzip my fly, than Merlin slides up to the urinal next to mine and starts talking as though we were in the middle of a conversation.
i wanted to die.
i had no idea how to be casual and conversational, with an overly loquacious co-worker, while palming my junk. i muttered some sort of assent or something and continued with the...matter at hand.
i ask you again...when did this behavior become normal?
