Birthday Wishes
July 12th 2010 21:00
It’s that time of the year again: my I Can Has Cheezburger? colleague’s birthday is coming up.
We have an ongoing joke about Butterscotch being his boss. Whenever I see him on the Cheezburger web site which he likes to visit whenever our software freezes up, I pretend to be the cat and hiss, “Stop looking at my relatives! Get back to work! All of you! Get back to work!”
Previously, I would emphasise this point by waving a photo of Butterscotch in front of him. This lasted until I lost the photo; I now no longer carry photos of my beloved felines on me.
So there we were, talking about birthdays when I said, “Butterscotch and Gingersnap are preparing a present for you: they are going to regurgitate fur balls. Gingersnap’s will probably be the biggest ones since he does most of the licking.”
My colleague was not impressed. “Great,” he said in this unenthusiastic voice. “I’m really looking forward to it.”
“I think Butterscotch should receive the manager of the year award. He is a great motivator. He watches everyone and reminds them to get back to work when he sees them slacking off.”
My colleague then gave me a deadly look that said he disagreed with me.
