One Last Time!

You have no idea how happy she was to leave that office. She has been under the most watchful eyes of the ladies and gentlemen... the ones that provide warm, relaxed and refined ambience.

She was jumping out of her chair yippie2x- ing. But of course, she couldn't do that till most of the office was gone. And she was still there. Like most people. And she couldn't do her victory dance.

Since this morning, I was trying to catch her off-balance. And that smooth greeting I hear everytime I call her, was still there. With a lot of edge. At 7.15 pm, I decided to try.

One last time, Mie, one last time for crazy Shine.

She was too good for me. Too smart for me. She picked up the phone laughing.

"I have caller ID. You biatch!!"

She's not making it easier for me. I hung up. Waited a good 10 minutes. Went to an empty office, and dialled again.

Line forwarded, another person picked up the call. And I asked for her. And she came to the phone laughing.

"You're not gonna get one last greeting out of me, biatch!!!!"

I was laughing so hard. The entire office was worried.

Thanks, Mie. We've been through some weird and funny times. With Herbie and everything in between. You've provided good laughs when there were none. You stayed saintly insane when that was what it took to be what it meant, being in that office.

Kudos. You will be missed.
