A Girl Moment

At lunchhour today
someone went to the Nailbar
Someone wanted a manicure
but nodded enthusiastically when she was asked
if she wanted a pedicure as well.

Someone sat on her arse for a whole hour and a half
(going outta my head, cannot read, cannot turn pages, cannot move hands and feet)
as she was attended to by 3 women (everyman's fantasy + one)
someone preened with pleasure when
these 3 women said her nails "Hoo langgh er"

And then, someone screwed 3 nails up
just getting from the nail bar, back to work
an hour late somemore
one excruciating scratchy/smudge, after the next
supersakithati

Going back the after work to fix em
V's Bday dinner plans will just have to be delayed slightly

So anyway,
I walk into the office needing to tell
someone, anyone, about my
nail catastrophe

Kev says "Since when you so girly one?"

Eric says " Your life damn good man!"

Kanneh, can't a girl have a 'girl moment'?

I hold my hands up, palms facing me , to Gabriel
"What?" he asked, confused

"My nails," I say, excitedly, "I did my nails"

Behind him Aaron gives me a quizzical look.

I'm motormouthing,
" SoIwenttogetthemdoneatlunchbutlookatthemnowIscrewedthemupwithcash,
payingforparking,gettingcarkeys,i'msosad,going......."

Now if you ever needed to know what a
'Blank look' is?
Ask Aaron and Gabriel, they do it tres well.


They're still looking at me, still registering that I am speaking
but just completely clueless as to
what I am on about

"It's okay boys, continue with your stuff.
I'm sorry, as you know I have no girlfriend in the office
and I just momentarily got carried away. Plus I just had a doppio espresso.
Sorry."

Need a work girlfriend man.
