I don't know if it's old age, or maybe I just never noticed it, but my dad is something else. We were in the car today and for some strange reason, I asked him "What do you tell people when they ask you what your daughter does for a living?". At first he goes "I don't know". I went bug-eyed b/c he's been driving me to work for 6 months (minus the 2 he's been gone) and he was there when I got my offer-letter. So this was the conversation:
Dad: Oh, you work in financial
Me: I work in "financial"...what?
Dad: [silence]
Dad: Programming!
Me: Nooooo! I told you I don't like programming; I don't enjoy it.
Dad: Then what, girl!?
...More guessing, then finally...
Me: I'm a Business Analyst
Dad: Ohhh, Financial Analyst!
Me: Noooooo! BUSINESS Analyst
Dad: [pauses] what the hell is that?! You analyze businesses??
Me: [Don't remember if I was cracking up or getting annoyed]
Me: I think I will explain some other day when I'm more calm
...a few minutes pass....
Me: So what do I do again?
Dad: [all confident] You're a Marketing Analyst!
Me: [I laughed so hard I literally was smacking the dashboard]
Dad: [cracking the f- up]
Me: BUSINESS ANALYST!!!
Yep, you gotta love my dad. I think he smoked or got high on contact or something in the Philippines b/c this conversation was unreal. I was cracking up just typing it.
Today feels good. I ate my dad's cooking (spare ribs w/ veggies) for the first time in two months and boy did I miss it. I'm sitting in front of my PC not worrying about the garbage, dishes, mess (its their mess this time). I could just chill and watch tv. And I don't have to work tomorrow either -- even better. I am going to Karen's wedding/Zaida's Baptism =)
