January 2007
I’ve been taking staff photos at my day job for the last few days and each day people pop in to chat for a bit. (They put me in a conference room right next to the kitchen, so everyone passes by me at some point during the day.) One of the people who stops in is someone that another co-worker and I tease about being gay because he seems just a little too interested in my co-worker’s homosexuality.
The Ambiguously Gay Co-Worker (AGC) stopped in to shoot the shit yesterday and the subject came up again, so he tried to defend himself by saying that the Gay Co-Worker (GC) just wished he was gay. Since the GC is in a happily committed relationship, I called bullshit and asked him for proof. Apparently, a bunch of people went out drinking after work and on the way to the train station, the GC had to hurl. Since the AGC is a nice guy, he went in the alley with the GC just to make sure he was okay. The GC then grabbed him and told AGC to kiss him.
“So, did you kiss him?” I asked.
“NO!” replied the AGC.
“Well, he did just barf.”
“Right.” (He pauses.) “Heeeyyy!”
Sadly, I promissed the AGC that I wouldn’t tell the GC that I new about this story, so I can’t give GC shit about this too. Oh well, I’ll take what I can get.
There’s nothing quite like going to the Apple store with a broken iPod and getting busted out by tech support for having 2Live Crew on it… in front of a family that included a small child.
