evildeb, work

You know, gang, when you’re a superhero, you never know where the day will take you.

They pulled a dead body out of the water, outside our window this morning. I didn’t see it, but Paco did. On his birthday no less. He also witnessed the guy who jumped from the bridge onto our parking lot last year. Right outside the meeting room window. Yes, death of instantaneous on that one. And messy. He’s handling this one better. We have no evidence that the victim jumped from the bridge, could have just been a floater. KK passed on an interesting fact: if you cut the body’s belly open before you dump them in the water, it releases all the gasses, and they won’t float. Cool. Filing that grisly tidbit away for when I become a mystery writer.

Evildeb does not just cause pain in others, but also to herself. She has to get regular massages, to keep herself relaxed, or her head will literally pop off her neck from the tension. This means my calendar is full of notes regarding her comings and goings, and workings from home, due to her appointments.

jodi: so… are you working from home or not?

evildeb: on Wednesday afternoon I’m working from home

jodi: but you just cancelled it.

evildeb: no…I cancelled the original Monday apt

evildeb: just now

jodi: such a pain in the ass.

evildeb: indeed

jodi: i’m going to need an ass massage because of you.

evildeb: well, try to schedule it after work hours so you won’t have to put it tin the calendar

evildeb: your ass, or the apt

jodi: oh no. that is not fair.

evildeb: neither should be in my calendar

jodi: i am going to have it in the afternoon

evildeb: fine

jodi: because i want to work from home after my ass massage

evildeb: but leave your ass out of it

jodi: oh no, my ass is ALL OVER IT

  1. They all float up eventually.
    I had a client who murdered her hubby and did just that, cleaned and gutted him in the belief that he’d stay underwater, then parked his car by a bridge, threw his body over the side, and tried to make it look like suicide.
    She spent a day or two by the side of the water playing the part of the grieving wife when someone suddenly looked up and realized that the guy’s body had been hanging the whole time from a part of the bridge that stuck out a little farther than the rail.
    Oops.
