The bosses had an extra-special assignment for me today! I had to go into the office super-early this morning to get ready for it. First, I got all dressed up in black clothes and this long, stringy-haired black wig, and some makeup to make me look all pale and washed out. When it was done, the_pr told me I looked just like the "rogue PR assistant". I don't know, I thought I looked more like that Wormtongue guy from The Two Towers, but the PR said no one would notice.
Next was the ride to the airport. Let me tell you, it's hard to catch a cab when you're all made up like Mary-Sue Manson or whoever that goth freak is. I ended up being pitied by a bunch of Jehovah's Witnesses heading to the airport to go to a convention. They spent the whole ride preaching to me about the evils of Satanic worship and trying to convince me to renounce my ways and accept Jesus as my Lord and Savior. Funny, the more they talked, the more I wanted to actually sell my soul to Satan himself just so I could have my nice Brooks Brothers suit back!
When I finally got to the airport, I was a little behind schedule, so I hurriedly thanked my new fundie Christian friends, and dashed into the airport. I managed to catch tallest just as he was headed for the gate to his flight. I managed to grab him by the arm, and pull him aside so the next phase could go into play.
Now, many of you may not know this, but Bob is a trained actor, with a strong theatre background in the Pacific Northwest (well, until that bossy woman who kept insisting everything was all about THE GAY came along, and spoilt all our fun. Humph). I let my eyes fill up with tears, and then I just let go and started bawling. I sank to my knees and clutched at Dom's shirt, telling him how awful I felt about the whole psycho-Sean episode, and abandoning Dom all alone in the mango forest. I said the guilt was eating at me day and night, and all I wanted was his forgiveness. Now I know Dom has quite the temper, so I was prepared to grovel and beg (and avoid any punches that might come my way), so what happened next was a bit of a surprise, to say the least. Dom pulled me up to my feet and clapped me on the shoulder with a terse "Alright. All forgiven, mate," before turning back to the terminal. He stepped through the gate, and was gone.
You know, this makes me think. Maybe I've been wrong about him. Maybe he's not such a bad guy after all. Maybe I should try to get along with him a little better especially since I noticed today he's got quite a cute ass. Wonder if the PR needs me in New Zealand?
