I, assuming he was skiving off to pork the mistress or whatever senior partners at boring law firms do on their afternoons off, cheerfully said, "have fun!" He turns around slowly. "It's my mother's funeral," he says.Cue one embarrassed goat. :sad:

:lol: I know I come over on here as Leatherface's weirdo uncle half the time, but in real life I gen-you-wine-ly try to be a pretty likeable, cheerful guy, even if I am his Goatfulness on teh inside. This is pretty hypocritical of me, being a manic depressive whining alcoholic, but I hate it when other people start unloading their problems on me - although I smile and nod and look concerned a large part of me is simply uninterested. I'd be a great councillor. Some guy here started telling me about his kid having some illness - and this is the guy I'm 85% sure is the non-flusher - and I interrupted him rather meanly.
The said partner from afore is a midthirties guy, pretty quiet, nice but the sort you be polite to in case he shows up next Monday with a machete and starts cuttin' on people. I much prefer him to the Italian stereotype who's my main boss, however. I should write a sitcom about this place.
