fuckin' krissy.

Mondays at the office are held as the most sacred of days for it is the only day in the week that people go down to the parking lot for the flag ceremony. It is a sin to get late on Mondays; for one will be required to write an explanation letter to atty. chenelyn sparkles stating the reason why he or she did not make it in time for the flag raising. i can remember writing my first explanation letter and i don’t intend to replicate such action ever again—it involves coursing the letter through channels (underlings who get to read your letter) until it reaches the proper authority; how is that for image?

And so you have me taking extra effort to be on time, and i was on time, this particular Monday morning. i got through the customary chit-chat and small talk with my officemates, with flying colors. At the back of my head i was beginning to wonder if Krissy Mae has already arrived and has positioned herself at that familiar spot under the umbrella tree at the back of the queue. She always does it whenever she’s late so as not to attract attention; otherwise she’ll parade herself til she reaches the start of the line/ queue where she’ll proclaim herself the queen of her little domain by opening her violet umbrella and putting on her black sunglasses. (maldita!)

But nope, she’s nowhere to be found this lovely Monday morning, and i was already beginning to wonder what time will she be arriving and wreaking havoc at the office. Yes, its always like this; ask anybody from the office and they’ll tell you that she’s such a sweet princess. With the lupang hinirang sung, panatang makabayan recited and atty. sparkles finished giving the closing remarks, we proceeded going back to the office. With tighter security measures just put in place, some of the avenues for entry were blocked off by policemen such as the ground floor parking lot in the main building; that left us no choice but to herd ourselves like cattle through the lobby then through the stairwell—both are claustrophobe’s paradise if you ask me. Of course one can elect to use the elevators but at this point in time when everybody’s rushing to get to their offices, relying on the elevators to get you to your destination will surely take forever.

So i took the stairs like most did. At that point, in the tightest space in the race to the offices, she made her entrance like an apparition before my eyes. Trying my best not to look as having just seen a ghost, i said “good morning ma’am”, to which Krissy Mae replied a quick and smile-less good morning. i was about to take a sigh of relief that i was still breathing and have not turned to stone when she opened her mouth to say in trademark Celia Rodriguez tone, “di mo ba ako pauunahin?” how is that for a scene? I tried my best not to react “heller, tingnan mo nga kung may dadaanan ka?” The stairs’ width can accommodate two people at most, and it was just my luck that i’ve already stepped up with another employee beside me, when i saw her in the corner of my eye. It looks like she’s really expecting that i make way for her, the bitch. As if i’ve a choice to answer in the negative and incur her wrath all day, I said, “sure ma’am, mauna na po kayo” then i struggled hard to position myself sideways to accommodate her.

We reached our floor, with her sashaying nonchalantly like some fuckin queen. to anyone who might have been observing i might have looked like the queen's attendant/ handmaid the way i trailed her back--indecisive if i’ll rush past her or just stay my course; which she decided the moment that foul mouth of hers opened at the stairwell. Fuckin’ krissy. What a nice way to start your week, indeed.
