hiss
It saddens me to report that Snake has returned to the office after his two-week absence. I enjoyed each day I didn't have to listen to his ignorant rants during the first week, but was almost afraid that it was too good to be true - I half expected him to come back each day. By the second week, though, I was comfortably settled into my Snake-free existence. I stopped thinking "Damn, it's nice to have him gone," during quiet moments and actually forgot that he even existed. Unfortunately, it couldn't last. The blissful atmosphere caused by his absence was shattered yesterday when someone asked if he was going to be in this week, and sure enough, around 8:30 he came strolling in. It didn't take him any time to settle back into his ignorant, griping ways either. Five minutes after he sat down he was bitching about football again. As much as he gripes about this section, he has no plans to leave it, so I'm crossing my fingers and hoping that the job prospect hovering on the horizon pans out. It would be good for several reasons (location, salary, job opportunities, etc.) but never having to see Snake again would be a very nice plus.
