1) The boss lady, AndreaGotAnAche, revealed yesterday that she found some 16mm movie cameras in the estate and that some young dude was coming today to check them out. I was generally like, "What?? You had 16mm cameras and you're just now telling me ... now that somebody is already coming to buy them??" So she agreed to take me up to look at them before Dude came. Of course with her timing... I got to go up exactly 1.5 minutes before Dude arrived and in this 1.5 minutes I was also instructed to run down stairs and get some cleaning supplies so that she could hurry and wipe some of the dust off of the cameras and lenses. So there I go... down the stairs to the room with the "cleaning supplies" which includes some lens cleaner, some lens tissues and 3-4 old dirty socks which, until now, I'd been avoiding touching. Yes - they'd been using these dirty socks to dust stuff when they were taking pictures. SO - I grab the cleaner and 1 sock and run up the stairs where I'm informed that Dude has arrived and I'm now supposed to pretend to be another potential customer (which I am sorta.. but I guess he's supposed to not know that I work for them). So here we are... Dude and I... and AndreaGotAnAche (LesbianBoss1)... and Andrea is pilfering through boxes and suddenly exclaims, "Ewww... this tripod has gook on it. Do either of you have something to wipe my hands on? Anything?" Well... of course I've got a damn dirty sock in my pocket so I hand it to her. And this was my first impression with Dude - a potential future filmmaker cohort... who will now ALWAYS think of me as that girl who randomly carries socks in her pocket. And then just leaves them behind....
2) Later in the day Queen Ernest arrived. Queen Ernest is PatGotAGuy's(LesbianBoss2's) token flaming gay friend. Technically I've met him before (so it's not a "first impression") but he's still a kick. Today Queen Ernest was going through the record albums and as I was googling some prices for the 16mm cameras - these are the exclamations I heard coming from the album shelves (AND I KID YOU NOT!!):
OH my god I can absolutely die. Sound of Music!!!??? Oh stop! West Side Story??!! Stop the train - I want to GET OFF!! This man was straight?? Annie Get Your Gun - two of them and they are both ETHEL MERMAN!! If I find a Wizard of Oz album I WILL DIE. Oh look at all of these Hollywood books. I love reading Hollywood bio books because I'm such a nosy queen!
(I love him. I want him for my own.)
