The plot thickens….

Today Kirstie and I have been emailing the whole long day through…..or part of it…..mainly this morning actually. Anyway. Further CJ updates follow, it’s all a bit mysterious……

Aggghhhh Moody is driving me nuts! Thank god he is on flexi tomorrow!

Apparently CJ is now off until Tuesday so put that down in your absence book. Don’t know why, I shall endeavour to find out or you’re welcome to ask too….

I hate to be the one to break it to you, but I think he might be here tomorrow, he was saying last night that he’ll have to be here cause CJ isn’t.

I know, he mentioned last night that she was off today and tomorrow, didn’t know about Monday though. Will check the holiday calendar see if Harley has logged it as holiday!!

You’ll have to do the scouting seeing he’s already mentioned it to me.

Damn it. Thought I was going to have a nice quiet Friday. He just tells me one thing so I do it and then comes back to me saying “this should really be worded like this…I’m just being pedantic” and I say “well you actually told me to word it like that originally”. “Did I? Oh well, this is how it should be”. And so it goes on. I think he’s going senile.

I will say something about him not being in tomorrow and then he’ll have to tell me he is because of her and then I’ll ask why she’s not in.

“Is she on annual leave?”…..”Oh, is she ok then?” * concerned face *

I don’t know how you put up with it, it would drive me mental … he’s such an old woman sometimes.

Hehehehe. Do, I would like to know what the hell is going on with her.

I’ve checked the holiday calendar and she’s on annual leave on Monday, but nothing in the calendar for today and tomorrow.

I just asked Moody and it went like this:

“You’re not in tomorrow are you Moody?”

“Yeah I am now”

“Oh?”

“Yeah because CJ is off until Monday now”

“She got annual leave?”

“Er yeah…..”

Big pause where he is kind of giving me this look to say “not really but I can’t say any more” – I hold this look expectantly hoping he will crack.

“Yeah, well kind of – I can’t really say any more than that”

“Oh ok, well whatever” and I shrug my shoulders like I’m not that interested anyway.

Dah dah daaahhhhh! Maybe that mental breakdown has happened?!

What I don’t get is that if something is going on at home when she does come into the office then she doesn’t seem that upset or anything. E.g. yesterday she kept on (attempting) to make jokes and things. I was thinking perhaps it was a family issue, like a sick parent or dying grandparent or something but I’d assume she’d be a lot more subdued if that was the case.

Ooh … very interesting.

What ever it is it seems odd that it doesn’t seem to be affecting her while she is here. I can understand that she may not want to drag personal stuff into work, but you would think that it would affect her behaviour like you say, make her more subdued or something … but there is nothing. But maybe it goes with the ball breaking attitude and doesn’t want to show any human traits so she isn’t perceived as weak or something stupid like that.

Yeah it could be, or maybe it is something positive that is happening but requires her to have some impromptu time off of work? Like a female to male sex change? ;) Blimey, the ideas are limitless aren’t they? He he.

I know I can’t stand her and would like to smash her face in sometimes but I hope she is alright and it’s nothing serious.

To be honest when Moody told me he had a smirk on his face which was almost like he was a bit amused or fed up to the point of laughing about it all. I’ll demonstrate what I mean at lunch. It kind of made me feel like it was something trivial.
