Kevin gets up at 5:00 am on workdays. The other morning he mentions he got a facebook message overnight that he didn't understand. He mentioned the sender and I cringed a little. Somehow a childhood friend of mine somehow managed to message Kevin. A boy, nonetheless. It took me a second to realize what was happening because: 5:00 am.
As one would guess, it was the drunk dial of personal messages. Luckily and with great relief, it wasn't a "You up?" kind of message. Instead it used a horrifying childhood nickname that I loathe (based on wearing glasses) and was wanderingly about the racecar.
So, that was cozy.
Two days later, I received a call from a long-distance number I didn't recognize. I don't answer any strange numbers so I let it go to voicemail. It turns out it was a former employee who wanted to stage a practical joke for my old boss at the school. Yeah, no, not happening.
Firstly, it's a girl that I went to high school with and I was friends with her brother back then. When meeting her at the school, she totally denied knowing me. This was a bad call as I was her boss but it turned out she was kind of a hot mess so it made sense in the end.
Secondly, I have no interest in a) playing a practical joke on anyone. I hate them and please take note of that people I know IRL. 2) clearly she didn't know that the relationship did not end well between the former boss and myself. So I didn't call her back. My voicemail message is generic so it wasn't obvious that I was purposefully ignoring her.
Thirty minutes later, I get a text stating that the prank is off because another employee that I also didn't enjoy couldn't make it so we would do it another time. But that we should get a drink sometime. So, we're besties now.
This new social media world is messing with me.
