miserable man i am now

a few minutes ago i was coming back from getting my fajita taco combo for lunch, and I parked in the parking garage and was walking into the elevators. as i got on the elevator there was two ladies (one was darn cute) that work for the dentist on the 5th floor already currently on the elevator. There was another man, in a suit and judging by the floor number he had selected i could only guess he was going to see the attorney or he was an attorney on the 11th Floor. Well i stood there as the doors close and noticed the two women were talking. i cant remember the direct quotes, but from where i picked it up, it went something like this:

woman #1: oh my gosh, i know!

woman #2: yeah you know what? his wife worked there!

woman #1: his wife? oh my gosh, together? i could never work with my husband!

woman #2: me either, that would never work.

at this time my ears had perked up. sure i know it's kind of impolite to dip into other people's conversations, but hey if they are talking outloud about something then it's free game. then the story got juicer. so it continued:

woman #2: you know, one time i went in there and oh my god! they were having such a bad....

DING! the elevator ringed that we had reached the 5th floor. being a creature of habit, i instantly pushed the open door button on the elevator to release the two women. but pushing the button, i not only released them, but i released any hope of finding out what bad thing "they" were having. when the elevator doors shut, so did the story. and now I think, what was so bad? where they having burritos and one was bad? was it a hair day problem? what about work? maybe one of their relatives had passed away and they were having a hard time with it? i realize the possibilties are endless and infinite. i assume now they were talking about an argument, which would be because "they" being husband and wife work together. but there are seeds of doubt. i can't be 100% that's what they were speaking of. i can never be sure now, i can never be certain of that couple's fate. and i can't ask the women, for fear of mockery, and anger that i was eavesdropping. and i ask why? why must life play these games with me? why! why give me just enough....and then snatch it out of my hands! what a tease! what a deceitful ruse! what crafty stratagem! And now as i sit, with my mind made to the watery consistency of the queso that i bought, i now know, that i will never know. this will haunt my dreams forever. i will pass this curse on to the fruitage of my loins, and they too will reap it's sorrow. miserable man i am now. i sit here on my dipper's throne as the screen fades to black.

the wife was promoted because she knew everything about the job. the husband knew she really deserved the job and although at first he was upset and there was a small scene, he eventually came around and ran this message on the SYMON board

'everyone of you is fired'

I hate it when that happens! You know...when my eavesdropping gets cut short. That sucks.
