Everyone's phone where I work has a white sticker w/ big red print: "911 Emergency," w/ the building and room numbers. Today some guy I've never seen was walking down the hall with one of these stuck to his ass. This place isn't known for its pranksters, so I suspect the tag just came loose from some phone and ended up where he could sit on it. I had an ethical dilemma -- whether to save this stranger from embarrassment, but risk embarrassment myself by pointing out that I had at least glanced at if not downright oggled his hindquarters. Shallow, I know. But it wasn't on one of the cheeks, it was plunged right into the business end of his rear. Had it been someone I know, I'd have gladly pointed it out, while laughing derisively. Instead, I kept quiet and am wracked with something like guilt.

Amy, you have this knack for popping up and then vanishing again, leaving us all to wish you'd come 'round more often. 8^)
How's the drama scene coming along?
