office space

so, i'm at my new job a few weeks now. there is an interesting dynamic here...because half of the company was actually sold almost a year ago. so as a part of the split, the owners of the remaining half (the half i work for) agreed to relocate. obviously, moving 250 employees, including a call center, is a big feat. what is left is two completely separate companies coexisting in one building. and i'm the new person. there is a large room, filled with cubicles (the open office style, where if you stand up you can see everyone sitting around you) and i am the only one that works for my company. weird.

anyways, there is a guy who sits next to me...i can't see him, but he has the deepest most annoying voice in the world. and every morning around 8:15 am, he calls his girlfriend. "Baby, it's time to get up," he says. "I know you're tired, but you have to go to class...want me to call back in 5 minutes? ok, i will. bye baby."

5 minutes later. "Baby, it's time to get up. Class is at 10...you need to get up. Make some coffee...5 more minutes? ok, i'll call back."

5 minutes later. "Baby, it's time to get up. you won't have enough time to get ready...i love you too...just a few more minutes? ok."

2 minutes later. "Baby, it's really time to get up. ok...are you really getting up? are you sure? ok...call me when you're on your way to class. i love you. bye baby."

now, keep in mind, this is a condensed version of what, on some mornings, has gone on for up to 45 minutes. I'M exhausted by the time this girl actually gets out of bed to go to whatever class it is that she goes to. and why doesn't she just get an alarm clock? i mean, we're all grown ups...you can't have your mom come in and turn on your bedroom light until your 40, now can you. or can you?

i think i'm going to buy a $4.99 alarm clock at wal-mart this weekend, and leave it on his desk on monday morning. ha.
