belly laughs

Work is work and it sucks right now but there is one good thing here - Reggie. He's the best! I see him every morning when I finally get my ass into the office and occasionally when I leave my cube to come up for air. He's our security guard and every day he brings a smile to my face, but today he actually made me laugh out loud. And totally by accident. I was ready to re-enter the secure part of the floor when just as I'm reaching for the handle it starts to slowly move and next thing you know there's Reggie with a shocked look on his face. I scared him! It's such a rare thing to have someone on the other side of the door just as you are opening it...there's not enough people on our floor for this to happen often. It was priceless and it felt good to get him back for once (he's been known to do this to me in the past...but he has the aid of security cameras to help him plan his attacks). So we both had a chuckle and now I can continue my day with a smile.

Date update...nothing to report. Too bad I'll never know if Ray was telling the truth or not. He never called, so I went to the game with Cubbie Girl instead and had a great time. I got to sing my national anthem and boo when the singer got the words wrong. It felt so good to see my flag flying at Wrigley...it nearly brought a tear to my eye. People always ask if I'll become an American and I can honestly say that it will never happen. I love Canada too much. I think the furthest I could ever go is to become a permanent resident, but there is no way that I could ever give up Canadian citizenship...it's much too important to me.
