A co-worker of mine, after hearing another co-worker's dissatisfaction with her new condominium's front and back door locks, suggested her locksmith father to her co-worker . In turn, the damzel in distress offered to pass out business cards to her fellow disgruntled neighbors, which was indeed a kind act on her part; however, upon returning to work this Monday, when the locksmith's daughter inquired as to our mutual co-worker's degree of satisfaction with the job that her father did this past Saturday, she heard, "Your father's a really nice guy; he did a great job." Then came a pause . . . , which was followed by "I just don't know why I paid as much as the other five people in my building. I did get him five other jobs." As a witness to the aforementioned dialogue, I attest that the latter comment was offfered with the deepest of sincerity. In defense of the locksmith's daughter, she was as cool as a cucumber, not knowing how to reply to such a preposterous gripe. Now I've never struck a lady, but this woman, who possesses the social graces of a gnat, was begging to be decked, sent stumbling back into the copy machine. Furthermore, upon analyzing the inappropriateness of this woman's gall, I was most appalled by the time that she undoubtedly took to figure out how much the five other tenants had paid the locksmith. I can picture her now, roaming the halls and knocking door to door with the bill in her hand. In her defense, she is a librarian --I means a MEDIA SPECIALIST--whose interactions primarily center around shelves of dusty books and scores of domesticated felines.This Week's RED HOT Celebrity Birthday (2/1 - 2/7)
Eddie Bracken, best known for his role as Walley World owner Roy Walley in NATIONAL LAMPOON'S VACATION would be celebrating his 95th birthday on February 7th were it not for his death in 2002.
