The fun never ends

My office mate spends a lot of her day dealing with family stuff on her phone. Which is fine. She gets her job done and a laid-back attitude ensures that she doesn't give a rat's ass about how much time I spend on LiveJournal.

Some of her conversations are just depressing. It seems like she knows a lot of people who die. Of illnesses, car wrecks, work mishaps, etc. Some are funny. Especially the ones where she's telling her son to stand up for himself at his job where he lets people walk all over him.

But today has been a real corker:

"I don't want to deal with her anymore...because she's a bitch, that's why! She's a fucking bitch!"

I think she's talking about the salesperson at a furniture dealership where they bought their (now broken) couch. This couch saga has been going on for about 6 months now. I assume she's talking to her husband, but she could also be talking to the store manager. I'm not sure.

3.Find the fifth sentence (or closest to).
4.Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions.

Those fake bun/ponytail things were a cinch to make, and in the dim light of the bar, you couldn't tell it wasn't really my hair.

Phone conversations around my floor are boring since the mainframe people moved to Raytown. I miss the guy who was constantly fighting with his ex-wife on the phone at work. I need to have people call me up for interesting topics at work to spice it up a bit.
