J's gotta stop having all these conversations with himself with all these aliases. I'm losing track.

i recently started working at this new company. one of my first tasks was to call a list of employees to update their passwords. halfway down the list, i come across an ivan. i was immediately reminded of my old boss, but mainly because this ivan had the same middle and last name. if there was a cat nearby and it was curious and invisible, it had clearly just died because when i looked up this ivan in the company's online employee database, right smack in the middle of the page was my old boss's mug. he had that same creepy emotionless glazed look on his face. i also had my coworker call ivan for me.

luckily (or unluckily), ivan was working in a different department. things became surreal though a few days later when i came in for work an hour early. i was talking to my boss about tps reports or some shit, and at the climax of our conversation, the door behind opened and our new third body walked into the room like a centipede with 98 missing legs. out of the corner of my eye, i notice it was my rite-aid shopping boss...settling himself at apparently his new desk...just right behind us. did he actually not think i noticed him seeing me?

of course, it was only a matter of time before we bumped into each other in the building, and we did twice. quite frankly, i'm tired of typing now but i can assure you they were exceedingly awkward moments. most satisfying though is how we both pretended to be surprised to see each other for the first time in the buildling even though we both knew the other knew of each other in the building. actually, the most satisfying is the fact that i make more money than my old boss now an, and i suppose it's an auxiliary satisfaction as well that my old boss is no longer a boss and makes less money than before. a little homework suggests foul play at our old workplace. karma, anyone?
