just cuz i love my job...or something...


So, im off work, haning out at my other home, after a day of grass cutting beer drinking and general hanging out. i get a call from the boss, i dont answer of course. dude, its my day off....so then he calls back...uuugghhh....this is usually an indication of trouble, computer or otherwise, so i reluctantly answer...small talk, blah blah blah....and the question, finally...what do i know about ipads.....hhhuuuuhhhh??? my interest is peaked...in my head i think....best invention ever perhaps, i want one, i would marry one if it was legal....oh....that's not what you were asking....do i know where to get one?? for your daughters graduation, yes...i can find you one, no worries...you're in Iowa....geezz....is this some kind of test?? i hang up make a phone call, and i find one. call him back, he is happy, and wants me to help him set it up...sure....ok....i mean...ummm....yes...im all over it!
so then after a hard day of drug selling, i jump in the convertible, and drive over to his house...its hot, i have the top down, and the tunes cranked, it was jason mraz if that matters. im on the way over there with the work uniform on, shirt, tie, all that stuff, my point, i think i look pretty ok...and sunglasses....not those big Kanye West ones, but an old pair of RayBans, yep, its true what they say, that everything comes back into fashion, had those from back in the day.... anyways, looking good-check, feeling good -check, going to play with an ipad-check...its a good day....
so, stop sign, and then i take off, and as im driving im looking around and i see a young, attractive lady in a jeep look at me and smile....i nod thinking, i still got it, which makes me laugh, cuz im not sure i ever "had it" and if i did it was surely something you could cure with a few doses of penicillin....but she smiles i smile eye contact and its cool....get to the bosses house and im stoked...im going to spend a few hours with a new friend, the ipad...gonna set it up and stuff....ive been waiting to get my hands on an ipad for a while now....so i get there and its a cookout....what?? dude....i get introduced to ppl and im thinking, get out of my way please, im on the hunt for an ipad friends...yeah yeah, nice to meet you too and all that stuff....there it is....i sit down, and get to work....and its great....im trying to find a way that i can leave, take it with me....its beautiful....i want to hug it, never let it go....its like a huge super sized version of my iphone, and you know how i feel about Gidget....i have my head buried in the ipad....and the boss says, hey i want you to meet my daughter, and im thinking unless she has a 9.7-inch (diagonal) LED-backlit glossy widescreen Multi-Touch display with IPS technology then i dont really want to meet ya....but if im anything, its polite, so i stand up, stick out my hand say nice to meet ya, and i look up, and wouldnt ya know it, its the girl from the jeep earlier...we look at each other again and as the boss introduces us i say, hey, its you, and she says yeah, we smile again, and my boss says to his daughter, you know each other, and she says yeah dad, he asks how, and she says, dad, be quiet. it was pretty funny, and honestly a little uncomfortable...but that passed fast....a few hours later, im done, and i go, and she says, bye and thanks and all that stuff...the boss says, thanks, stay for some food/drink and i dont....
a few days later, he stops at work and says is daughter is really happy with what i did to her ipad, and i laugh cuz i think it sounds, well, inappropriate. he says that she wanted him to tell her that the things i did to her ipad were awesome, she had never seen anyone that good....i said thanks, and try not to laugh....he asks if its ok if he gives her my number, just in case she needs any ipad help........hee hee....
