We're normal

Wob came back without a scratch today. Apart from shooting green sparks out of his eyes and wearing a t-shirt that says "I'm here to kill you", he seemed well and happy.

Sam forgave him and according to Wob she was so happy to see him that she had 3 glasses of wine and took him grocery shopping. She was very chatty and chatted up everyone at the checkout counter and he had to lead her away. Apparently that day they definitely looked like a happy couple. We now can see the development of a very strong relationship. While talking about it, he only had to display his superpowers once, this time turning Bright Red and flash his t-shirt at us twice.

Jared is now back also from his 4 week long holiday and he's not leaving for at least 365 days, 22 hours and 43 minutes. Trace with her 3 fingered forelimbs is working from home, so we've got a quiet area with giggling Chris, Chantal (who doesn't say much) and I (the babbler that speaks for two). No one to growl at you, or pinch you or shout "Yo-yo-yo!", so peaceful.

Jared has brought so many wonderful images of waxed body parts that no one of us dreamed of being waxed.

"Yes", he adds, "They do that too. First they push it to one side, then you scream, then they push it to the other side". But things like that are a perfect recipe for weight loss over lunch. You listen, you stop eating. We'll never look at Jared the same.

Chantal is off for her week-long cruise, stocking up on all things sea: sea-legs, sea-bands, sea-lions. One may think she'd come back as a mermaid.

Chris is gnawing at his arms crying and begging for people to take him with them. He's used up all of his vacation for his sick bed.

I simply cannot wait till end of December when I get out of this place free as a watermelon. Closer to the date I will be rolled down the stairs and the elevator lights will go off with "Overload" signs. It takes me three wobbles to get to the elevator in the first place.

Trace's desk is just as messy as when she's in the office, so all is good, all in the right place, all as it should be.

We're back in business.
