An Email From Phil
Phil emailed me this morning to ask me a question about paychecks. I, in turn, asked if the check would be deposited today. He came back with something about getting a ride with a co-worker to the bank.
This followed:
“I picked up a nail somewhere, so the Alero is at one of those shops down on the corner of Broad.”
When I first read it, it made perfect sense. I closed the email and moved on. Then, when I gave myself a chance to think about it, there were all sorts of unanswered questions and underlying text.
For instance, “I picked up a nail somewhere” surely means that he was at the site where he is building my dream home. for my birthday, right? Or perhaps that is where he is dumping the millions he has stashed away. Or the body...dun dun DUN!!!!
My second curious note is that he thought he would specify what kind of car he drives, “the Alero”. Oh, so you forgot your BMW today, Phil? Is the Mini Cooper in the shop?
Why my husband feels the need to talk in acquaintance speak when he emails me is beyond my comprehension. My theory is that he gets in to “Manager Mode” and forgets who is he talking to. We all know that in reality, I am the boss.
Comments & Trackbacks
Well, at least he isn’t trying to kick you out of your own office space as his evil plan to take over the web world unfolds! *giggle* Phil is hilarious. I think you hit the “nail” on the head with the whole Manager mode. I think he was also about to go into a project management meeting or something.
Who knows? Maybe he will want to set up his own room downstairs because all of my eBay crap is in our bedroom? I am messy, dontcha know!
