my darling brother...

now i know that we all have different talents. but only my brother can ask me for a favor while managing to imply (point out??) i am wasting my life and have nothing better to do anyway...

(phone rings sometime during the day)

[brother aka joby] Why are you home so much?

[me] cos i'm not working 19 days in a row like i used to. i only do 4 shifts a week and its mainly on the weekends.

[joby] why?

[me] cos i'm not the manager anymore

[joby] so how much do you get paid?

[me] (wanting to tell him to get &$^%ed) $xx.xx an hour, is that ok???

[joby] yeah. i have a favor to ask... (uses his sweet, i'm a nice brother to you voice)

[me] and what would that be?

[joby] i need you to come and sit in our house all day one day next week to let the plumber in. only he can't tell me what time he's coming so you need to be there all day. you'd have access to a computer, with a high speed internet connection...

[me] you don't need to try and bribe me with shit like that.

[joby] i mean really nat, what do you do at home all day anyway?

[me] clean...

(i get cut off before i can get the rest of the list out)

[joby] well you can clean over here!!!

(even though he shits me i managed to laugh at that)

[me] thats sweet joe.
