don't leave. |
I FOUND IT! finally, it has returned to me...i'm talking about my red mug. i probably didn't blog about losing it, b/c i was too depressed. basically when i first started here over a year ago, i walked up to crate n barrel and bought myself the best red mug ever. it was oversized, with a fabulous scarlet glaze; quite suitable for tea, hot chocolate or just water. i loved it.
mostly i'd hand wash it or sometimes i'd stick it in the dishwasher in our little work kitchen. normally, i'd be sure to snatch it up after the wash cycle was up...but about a month or so ago, i forgot about it and someone abducted her. coworker pigs.
i asked around, but the other assistants and custodial staff scoffed like i was asking if anyone had seen the penny i dropped in a fountain. fuckwits. i was about to make a ghetto "missing" poster for it and slap it on the cabinets...but thought management might frown apon that. so i conducted my own private investigation...walking around and checking out people's desks....dropping hints....waiting for someone to slip up and produce my prize. nothing.
after six weeks of opening the kitchen cabinets hoping to see my ruby gem, i just about gave up. then i'd think of the jerk who held it hostage on his or her desk and get mad. where the fuck is my mug?!?! i should have written my name on the bottom with permanent marker.
today i got in late b/c i took the time to get my hair cut this morning (FYI, it looks lovely). being late to work is always something to smile about, so as i bounced down the hallway to the kitchen, it didn't even phase me when i opened the cupboard and thought, oh wow, that's a nice red mug.......WAIT A MINUTE, THAT'S MY MUG! *GASP*
so i snatched it up without another thought and peered around as if i expected someone else to be waiting in the wings for it. i was pretty much golem with his precious ring. i then felt the need to shove it in the faces of the jerks who said i'd never see it ever again. dicks.
one of the assistants down the hall, who knew about my lost mug saga, saw the reunification and only then felt the need to share how she had just used the mug a few days before...she realized it was my mug she was using and still didn't tell me about it. um, thanks for holding out on me, you snot. see if i help her align her excel files ever again. *SNAP*
to finish the drama....i needed a visual. i couldn't find an exact photo of the mug, but this is pretty damn close...obviously mine is red, not yellow. imagine my big, fat happy face right next to it.
anyway, that made my day. as did the free daffodils from one of the agents' offices.......then six more hours of work unmade my day. *sigh*
what a mug snob you are....
with that said... glad you found it ;) You should'a busted that girls skull for being such an assclown and using your mug, AND not telling you. That's just nasty. Who knows where that mugs been...or worse...where that girls been. Just get a new one and put your old one in a display case. Oh, and put your name on the new one twinkle toes. ;)

Posted by: becky at March 8, 2005 9:08 PMwhy you gotta do that brett? why must you insinuate that my mug is a whore, willing to sell her content out for a measley new drink. bitch. now i have to clean it out with bleach.
Posted by: missy at March 9, 2005 12:47 AMsorry...just looking out for ya. i wouldn't want you to show up at work with a mad case of herpes on your lip or something of the likes and you have no idea where it came from. Your mug was whored out...whether you like it or not. Just get a new one. It's proly like $12.99 at the most...and obviously tooootally worth it. ;)
Posted by: brett at March 9, 2005 10:12 AMi opt to have brett removed from the blog. i have clearly re-washed the mug...in scalding water. also, they don't sell my mug anymore. i've checked. that was why the potential loss was that much more devastating.
Posted by: missy at March 9, 2005 11:23 AMBad Brett? he's just worried about ya. Besides you starting to scare me with the mug obssesion thing. I'm getting reminded of that guy in "Office Space" that was fixated on his stapler and ended up burning the building down. Maybe you should watch Dr Phil. Wait a minute... His head kinda looks like a mug. Maybe thats a bad idea.. Anyways.. check this chick for open sores.
Posted by: rob at March 9, 2005 12:39 PMseriously, you try and protect someone from a posible outbreak and what do they suggest...banishment!! unbelievable!
hell...herpes may even be a light punishment for re-using a month old lost mug. keep us posted.
Posted by: brett at March 9, 2005 1:25 PMi am crying from laughing so hard right now ...you guys/gals are too fricken funny
peace

mug slurper.
Posted by: jeremie at March 9, 2005 3:59 PMi just returned from Kaiser with my hussy red mug... her test scores will be available for everyone in three to five days. i have abstained from using said mug, until it is cleared. stay tuned....
Posted by: missy at March 10, 2005 11:16 AMoooh and you'll be amused to know that the assclown chick who definitely used my mug used to hook up with Frank from the Real World Las Vegas(he works here now)... so really, i should soak the mug in a boiling vat of rubbing alcohol.
damnit, i have a sad feeling she's just gonna be a "trophy mug" from now on. sitting on a shelf, holding individually wrapped candies.
Posted by: missy at March 10, 2005 11:19 AMwatch the candies too!:P
Posted by: mark at March 10, 2005 1:07 PMi agree...i'd actually stay away from that mug all together. visual contact only.
Posted by: brett at March 10, 2005 8:29 PMso now i'm contemplating detroying the mug. smashing it into small chunks and creating a table mosaic with it. i will then seal glass over it so that her ebola style virus cannot harm anyone. WOULD YOU ALL BE SATISFIED THEN?!?!?!
Posted by: missy at March 11, 2005 12:47 PMTo smash the mug would deny the needed "closure"
you will require to go on with your life.
My suggestion? Autocalve...
aaaaaaaaaaaagh...
