This weekend I worked. It was the first time in ten years I worked a weekend. I car pooled with an up and coming actress (think Lindsay Lohan).She recently worked on Cuba Gooding Jr.'s latest film Shadowboxer. She was telling me on the hour long drive what a sweetheart he is which I feel certain that is true. She also worked on the set of Jersey Girl and told me JLo requires the make-up artists to refer to her and number one at all times. This is insuring that they stay mindful of her priority in relation to the other actors. Jenny from the block sounds more like Jenny the bitch. It doesn't end there. She said JLo's body guards announce if you find yourself looking at Jen, you’ve looked too long. You know Ben Affleck’s friends were jumping for joy when that nightmare ended!
Later at the job, we meet a co-worker who hales from the north of England. Laying the "British gent" stuff on thick he starts correcting the younger guys for their language, "not in the presence of ladies" and all that business. They were really harmless and seemed confused at being corrected.
I asked him how he was able to work in this country and he explained that he had married an American, twice. Surprisingly enough, this dandy dud was also divorced twice. Of course, I couldn't resist my crazy Brit/American story. You know the one I tell, *wink, wink*. My co-workers sat with their mouths gaping open, stunned in disbelief. At this point Tweedle Dee informs us of his resemblance to Hugh Grant. Actually I had been thinking more along the lines of Napoleon Dynamite.
He pestered the actress for two days. Asking her out, trying to be charming, creeping up on her at every corner. Volunteering information on his suicide attempt, sex addiction (doesn’t everyone suffer from that) and a head injury, this cat was an open book. Unfortunately it was one of those books you find in the clearance bin.
Do I sound harsh? I just can figure some people out. I mean really. Today he saw fit to present her with a typed letter containing all his pertinent information and solemn promise to back off until she contacts him. Let's just say theres a better chance of me contacting George W. Bush.
I'm glad this weekend is over. Now it's Monday and time to begin the new work week and all the adventures that holds.

A ‘British gent’ from northern England - pardon my guffaws! Honestly this type of action brings shame on the name of lothario… I just hope this appalling wannabe does not put you and your friends off meeting Brits – because when Epson finally gets around to a printer good enough to duplicate a Green Card I want to have some nice people to meet! |
