Lol. I mean, I’m not getting Tarzan from this guy.

Paulo:

I wouldn’t be so sure. He’s wearing antlers and what I hope are animal bones. Dude.

I laugh and shake my head. It is a bit weird, but we all have our quirks. I guess I’ll just have a few questions for this guy.

Me:

What have you been up to, anyway? Any hot dates?

Paulo:

Oh, you know. Focusing on my art. Work. The odd fisting date.

Paulo always knows what to say to make me laugh. He has a warped sense of humor like me.

Me:

Don’t get your arm stuck up there!

Oh, by the way, totally unrelated, but guess who showed up on my ‘people you may know’ on Facebook?

Paulo:

Let me guess. Brian Smith?

Me:

LOL no, although he has shown up before.

I simultaneously laugh and shudder at the reminder of the finance exec whose office I walked into one day while he was watching porn. Gross!

Me:

Sarah Dinkle!

Paulo:

UGGHHH! Don’t even say her name.

I laugh again. Paulo and I met while we both worked at a hotel many years ago, and we ended up working together at another company a few years later. Our friendship is built on shared experiences and a lifetime of crazy work stories. I enjoy tormentinghim by reminding him of psycho former bosses and weird situations.

We have the kind of friendship where once I helped him to catfish his ex after a traumatic breakup.

Me:

Oops! Sorry not sorry lol.

Paulo:

Bitch! Okay, I have to get back to work. Ttyl.

Me:

Byeee! Xo
