Happy 2nd day of summer. We've had rainy stormy weather for the past two days and I'm so over it. I want sunshine and lots of it.
There's all sorts of oddly interesting people that I've encountered since I started working at the graphic design company. There's one girl whose boyfriend brings her a cup of Starbucks coffee every single day. And I'm not joking. The building we work in is locked and you need a key in order to enter it. So EVERYday he buzzes the door and the front desk lets him in just so he can hand deliver a cup of coffee to his girlfriend. And although I witness it everyday I still can't get over the fact that he does this. It's so odd. It would be one thing if he came to eat lunch with her or something but just to drop off a cup of coffee and then leave a second later seems so strange to me. Maybe I'm just jealous. But I don't think so. There's also another girl whose story I find to be very intriguing. She works 8 hour days at a health center and the graphic design company is her second job. So she puts in THIRTEEN HOURS a day! Then she works 10 hours on Saturdays! Talk about workaholic. Then she told me that she is married but that her husband is still living in India. It turns out she met him about a week before they got married! Apparently her family all flew over to India from Bellingham just so that she could be married. And in a few months her husband will join her here. This just boggles my mind. She seems totally smitten with him despite not having known him for more than a week prior to marrying him. She told me that they talk on the phone everyday and she says she really loves him. And I believe her. But it's still very hard for me to comprehend.
So to celebrate the first day of summer I decided I just have to purchase the book Happy Kitty Bunny Pony : A Saccharine Mouthful of Super Cute. "What is it about fluffy bunnies with bows, baby ducks splashing in puddles, kittens snuggled in baskets, and little lambs on their way to school? Happy Kitty Bunny Pony celebrates America's "cult of the cute" in all its campy, kitschy, ironic glory." This is right up my alley. And I can't wait to get my hands on a copy of it. Oh and if anyone hasn't yet visited HomeStarRunner. Go do so now. It's hysterical.
