So I was in the car around 6:20am on my way to the parking lot listening to The Morning Show (Magic 89.9). Moe Twister announced his game for the day. He hid Grace Lee’s bra from when she was 15 years old somewhere in the Metro and if you find it you need to MMS it to him. Easy 25k. Clue was it was at a 24 hour coffee shop in the Makati area. Great. I was in the area. I know coffee shops.
Before I got off the car I heard that it was at a Seattle’s Best coffee shop. Whoa! I was in the area. I know coffee shops. I was in the vicinity of one 24 hour Seattle’s Best.
Dilemma: I could run to Seattle’s which was a couple of meters away from where I was but that would mean being late for work for the second time this week (was late for 6 minutes yesterday). My shift starts at 6:30 (Boss’ shift at 6am) and it was already 6:24am.
I decided to be a model employee and went to the office feeling sour. As soon as I saw Kitkat (my boss), I told her about the race to find the 25k bra and she laughed at how jittery I was. I was still tuned in to Magic (using my mobile phone) and I just couldn’t concentrate on anything because Moe has not announced the winner. I could really use the 25k to pay off some important bills.
So I stood up, told Kitkat I needed to go to Seattle’s and that I wanted her to come with me. Being the most supportive boss in the world (no matter how crazy your ideas are), she agreed and pretended she wanted to get coffee anyway. I was jumpy the whole walk to Seattle’s.
Got in the shop, searched the area but found no bra. I asked the barista if that was the only 24 hour Seattle’s in the area. Her reply?
Yes ma’am but if you’re looking for the bra someone just found it 4 minutes ago.
Damn. #@%$!!!&^%@$#)(&^%!! 4 freaking minutes! I should have gone to Seattle’s, win the 25k and bring some coffee for my boss for being damn late.
