there's this dude i know, and he wooed his wife by being dropped off at her place every night. before they got married, they spent each day together, except monday evenings, when she retreated to her room to watch charmed and he to his room to watch x-files. they got married, had a kid, and now live in a tiny little house where they've planted fresh basils outside so they can make pesto any time they want.

sometimes we tell him he's a better officemate than a teacher to piss him off. sometimes, we mock his driving to piss him off more. and most of the time, we try to push him over the edge till we get what we want.

but in the end, we know (vanessa and i) that life would not be the same if he left us to put up his julie's.

happy birthday boss. only you can make friday the 13th a day to look forward to.
