I am walking out a back door at work today to throw away some stuff in the dumpster. I get out there with a cart full of stuff and my two friends are pulling out of the parking lot going to a coffee shop. They pull over and try to intice me to join them in their excursion. I am trying with every ounce of my being to reject the offer, not because I reject them, but because I knew that I had a TON of stuff to get done. They offered me drinks, their company, and finally what sold me was the promise of a "wedding cake" cookie (OH soooo good). I was sold. Right about this time, the phone rings and Amy says "It's Bruce." And she answers it. Here is what I hear:
"Hey Bruce."
"Uh, well Jordanne's right here with Lindsay and I. We just convinced her to go with us."
"I don't think she has her phone with her, which is why she didn't answer. We have commandeered her here at the dumpster to go with us to Latte Land."
Upon hear this previous comment, I start laughing. I didn't know that they were trying to commandeere me the whole time. If I had known, I might have put up a longer fight just for the heck of it.
There's a first time for everything.
