boo for titles
Lindsay, one of my co-workers here at Booklog, was sharing an office with me yesterday while I looked up the first day of classes for colleges and she sorted through labels looking for the lies. We have very exciting jobs. Anyway, she was listening to the radio (cubs game) while doing her labels, and since I couldn't hear what was going on, I could only tell how the cubs were doing by her reactions.
Every so often, a light would turn on in her eyes as one arm, complete with fist of glory, was raised triumphantly in the air with a whispered "yess" to accompany it. At least once or twice there was a clap followed almost immediately with a look of surprise as she realizes that I was not listening to the game and she had just made noise that broke the (to me) impenetrable silence of the room. These jolts are what kept me through the afternoon. Although not a Cubs fan, I did find her quarks very entertaining.
I think she was good luck. The cubs won their game and are now half a game behind first place, while the Sox have dropped down to two games behind. Maybe I should start bringing a radio into work.
