Uh... like WTF??I just have to tell you about Gerald. Back in the days in the Honours Room, Gerald was this poor guy who was completely inept when it came to social skills. He kept calling and emailing the girls, he wrote fantastical stories on the whiteboard with his classmates as the characters. If you were nice to him, you usually ended up being something glamourous like a pilot or action hero. If he had romantic interests in particular girl (he had 7 of those in class), she'd be the heroine or the damsel in distress. If you were an intolerant boor you'd be dead. Horribly killed by a falling dumpster while falling out of a burning plane into a lake of volatile chemicals. I was usually a policeman. Probably cos i dressed like one.
So all this time i thought he just needed to talk to someone. Someone to listen to his 30 minutes of non-stop rambling on the new military weapons recently acquired by North Korea, or how Melissa Pinto from godknowswhere has colored his sad sad life - poor girl doesnt even know he holds her in such high regard. But now...I think he's found a friend! He CC-ed me and emailed Andy this email from HIS HR manager:
hi! Gerald
How are you doing?
On this happy occasion, I would like to wish you
A day filled with Promise...
A year filled with Success & Happiness!
Have a Spectacular Birthday!
Taking this opportunity, I would also like to share with you the following...
Famous Birthdays on this Day in History:

... this list goes on for 230 lines!!!)
Warmest regards

... someone as weird as Gerald. That's a thought. Or maybe he's just hinting that it's his birthday and wants to be invited to Andy's wedding. Still so, so sad....
