Monday Soap Opera

I am currently sitting at my desk here in Room 9 of the SAEP office. The worst thing about being in Room 9 that I've gotta walk all the way down the hall to get my morning cup of instant coffee (I never drink instant coffee at home, but when in Rome...). But the best thing about it is taking place this very second.

Rooms 8 and 10 aren't SAEP offices. An older lady works in Room 8, while a woman around my age works in Room 10 with this other guy. I think Rooms 10-12 are owned by the same little company, but I can't confirm that. Anyway, back to the fun part. The people that occupy these adjoining offices apparently have lots of issues, and they love to talk about them in a loud, South African British accent. About three times a week, the lady in Room 8 starts fussing at someone on the phone. It's always about something that didn't get done when she wanted it done. I think she would benefit from Dr. Nitta's Leadership class.

Room 10 is where the real action takes place! The lady in Room 10 not only gives Ryan and me 4 days of entertainment, but she cries about stuff at least once a week. One week it was a date that went horribly wrong, another time it was people that were trying to get her fired. I'm not sure how this current episode started, but the dude is trying his best to calm her down about something. I believe that the only thing that makes this entertaining is that it's like listening to a British radio programme. I'd be completely annoyed if this were to happen in Helena.

Tune in next time friends for another episode of As the Children of Our Lives Turn Bold and Restless.
