Kezia

‘Oh my gosh..Help needed?WHERE ARE YOU LOVE DOCTORR?.Those were the words on the screen of my Apple Lap.Gosh.desperate much? I glanced around the very immaculate office.Looked a hella lot better after it was renovated.When Yahoo! Bought this building,I swear it looked like a hobo’s hideout.The walls were a dirty cream colour,with black mould in the corners.The wood on the windows were wet with condensation,the wood soggy and wet.Our jaws were literally hanging when we saw this wreck.Gregory Telfod,the boss of Yahoo! Swore that he was going to renovate this place,making it into a paradise.Apparently,he had a bang hungover when he booked the place,without going to check the place out.
It looks better now,the sourmilk-like coloured replaced by a very light shade of green.The old corny sofas were replaced by 3 and 4 sitter black leather sofas. Oh,and there’s a gigantic aquarium in the middle,next to the receptionist.
I continued looking around,finding something intresting to happen/do.Maybe some random colleague of mine will be
“Zia,you angel,can you get this photocopied for me?5 pieces!”
“Dear,I need help with this”
“Damn Zia, i need a quarter.Yes it is important! For Hello magazine,DUH!”
Sadly all of my colleagues are burying their heads into piles of work,typing furiously at the computer.Suprisingly Mr Jenabi hasn’t order me to do something. We all love him and all,but he is just plain annoying.He’ll call me endless times,to run down to the nearest Starbucks to get his Soy Latte and when im halfway back,he’ll said he also needed a pack of ciggies.He couldn’t find his staplers one day,and after 3 minutes of looking everywhere,he was sitting on it.He gave me this little giggle ( a 50 year old giggling? Young at heart,eh?) How much cellulite does his butt have? Last week,he asked me to come into his office to help him choose a tie.
“Do tell me Kezia,the dark blue satin with the white polka dots or the Looney Tunes one?”He’ll ask me,holding the two ties in my face.Telfod gave me this look,the I-need-an-answer-I-can’t-hold-this-ties forever look.
“Umm,what’s the function anyway?”I asked trying to act interested.
“It’s my mom’s 85th.At the Hilton’s apparently.I just celebrated mine at Pizza’s Hut! The cunning side of my sister,she ordered the meals which have scallops in them.And she bloody knows I loathe scallops!” he said puffing, putting the ties on his mahogany table. He stroked his beard affectionately.I shuddered.
How did the conversation from ugly ties got to scallops?
“I reckon the blue one sir.”
He looked straight in to my eyes and glanced at the ties.
“What’s wrong with the other?”
Damn. I knew he was going to ask. Let’s start. Why the hell is there a picture of Bugs Bunny and the Tasmanian devil which name i don’t know and which i don’t give a shit about and its in neon purple.NEON PURPLE! I nearly screamed.
I’m sure as hell i don’t want to lose this job,so i just kept thinking in silence,his eyes piercing through my body like laser beams.
“Kezia? Im not getting any younger y’know”
“Umm,the blue one sir.It’s more..um.. suitable for the occasion.”I said showing very dismissive hand actions.Jenabi raised an eyebrow,the hair on his brows all gray and sprouting everywhere.He seriously needs to wax.Gosh,all he needs to do is ask me.I know an awesome place down the road.
“But how will she know?”
“Pardon?”
“She can’t see.Blind,bless her poor soul.”
I stared at him and the ties incredulously. Blind? Why bother asking me? Y’know what,screw her party at the Hilton’s.She’s so freaking blind she can have it at Taco Bill or Maccas ,i wanted to scream.
But instead,i turned on my heel,and i walked out, cursing silently.
‘Nuff said.
