It's a.................

Anyone who reads my blog knows that my sister is pregnant with her 4th child. Today she had an ultrasound and now we know what the sex is......


GIRL!!

They were pretty sure it was another girl (this makes 4 daughters), just because that's what the odds were. They were kind of hoping it was a boy, because you know, they already have 3 girls. But, they are happy, we are happy and she is healthy.

Congrats to Brenda and Dennis and Breanne, Kaylee and Devyn!

Overheard Conversations/Arguements

First, How about those Red Sox, eh? Very nice, very nice indeed. The home opener was awesome, as expected. The Boston Pops, the players, Bill Buckner, Steven Tyler singing the national anthem, ring ceremony, flag unfurling....doesn't get much better than that (well, except when they actually WON the World Series....that was truly the BEST).

Anyway, have you ever been stuck in a situation where you are able to clearly hear a conversation/argument you have no right listening to? And you can't leave, you are literally STUCK? Well, that happened to me today and I was sooo uncomfortable. My boss got a call this evening, from a client (who I always thought was a good friend, now I am not so sure). Apparently my boss did something (I know what it was that he did, but don't really need to go into details....the fact is, my boss was RIGHT and dude was wrong) to piss this guy off. My bosses cell phone, the earpiece volume, is turned up so loudly that I could hear the ENTIRE conversation, word for awful word (lots of swearing....'F' this and 'F' that...very unprofessional if you ask me). I was stuck because he was standing in the door way to my office, so I couldn't leave. Now, I think that 2 things were going on...because my boss isn't the type that would intentionally let me overhear a conversation like that. One thing, he doesn't realize that the volume is so high on his cell that the whole world and their mother can hear the person he is speaking with and two, he was so stunned by this call he just stood there with a 'dumb' expression on his face....stuck like a deer in headlights. My boss didn't say 2 words the entire 10 minute conversation (well, he said, "hello" at the beginning and "fine" at the end..). After the tirade/rant was over and he was through with his call, he went into his office for 10 minutes before he came out. By his expression and actions I could tell he was shocked. And I was embarrassed...because I heard the whole thing (and what are you supposed to do? Pretend you didn't hear this a$$hole on the phone? Act like nothing? Ugghh...I just continued on with my work and pretended I couldn't hear anything....). I think my boss was embarrassed too, it was really awkward (and that is saying a lot, because when you have known someone for the better part of 30 years...you tend to get past 'awkward moments').

So there you have it...I was speechless (I know, hard to believe!).
