Note: I actually wrote this one a little while back, but never got around to posting it. Because posting has been and will be light this week because of this monstrosity, I thought I’d go ahead and post it.
Most of my coworkers went out to lunch today. I declined due to my anti-social tendencies. They weren’t gone but ten minutes before my cube neighbor Edgar’s wife showed up with a bunch of balloons and a gift.
Uh, oh… I thought.
Me: I think he went off to lunch.
She: That couldn’t be. I made him his lunch today.
Uh, oh….
I thought that I might be wrong, so I asked around the office. Everyone was pretty sure he went with the group. The receptionist and I assured her that this was a rare occasion and tried to laugh at all the luck, but she didn’t see much humor in it.
I called the one coworker that had a mobile phone on him, but got no answer. Afraid that they might take a long lunch, I went ahead and clocked out for lunch to track him down downtown, but they were gone by the time I got there.
She’d apparently decided to surprise him for their anniversary. The surprise came when he got back from lunch in a whole load of trouble.
I have to admit that i dont’ think that’s really fair. How was he to know she’d show up suddenly?

I don’t think it’s particularly fair either, except that I assume she had the hurt feelings that he didn’t eat the lunch that she prepared for him. It was just really, really bad luck on his part. Not sure he’s eaten out since.
