My Life, As Told Between (Baby Cakes') Naps

This week at work:

I fell victim to one of the dreaded prank emails.  A senior associate sent me an email from my friend’s computer stating that she was going to break up with her boyfriend.  I briefly considered picking up the phone to console her, but opted not to because (a) I was on a super tight deadline and (b) she has a tendancy to cry (I can’t deal with tears; I’m a boy like that ).  So instead, I sent her back a consoling email (and no, that is not an oxymoron!).  Luckily I didn’t start trashing her boyfriend, both because he’s a nice guy and because I’ve learned my lesson about trashing friends’ not-necesarily-permanently-ex boyfriends, as this email did not come from her but came from said senior associate.  She made the mistake of leaving her post unattended.  =)  (I guess I also made the mistake of responding via email rather than picking up the phone and asking her if everything was okay.  But really.  Crying!!)

JP was out of the office, but called periodically so I could fill him in on what he was missing.  It’s a law firm.  Nothing much happens.  He always sounds slightly disappointed, like he expected the Apocalypse to have occured in his absence.  I am tempted to lie the next time he calls and make up something about the earth crashing into the sun.
