The work wedding came and went without incident.
Our eldest impressed me with her energy, then lived up to her old man by getting tired way too quickly. But DID manage to avoid falling asleep in ham.
You win this round. Baby.
This did mean we had to leave slightly earlier than I would have liked. And after barely having talked to anyone. Networking with a child, not the ideal situation.
I’m not entirely sure why I bothered bringing my wife, I don’t think anyone at work could pick her out of a line up after that. Hrrm, given they’re all lawyers this may come in handy in the future…
And now to convince my wife to embark on a life of crime.
“The One With the Work Wedding”
It’s only one week from Rachel’s due date, and they haven’t even got a crib!!
Come on, no-one could be THAT ill prepared. We’ve still got our crib, hoping to give it to a friend, but things are unfortunately going a bit slow for them.
HEY RACHEL. YOU WANNA BUY A CRIB?!?
Maybe they’re so unprepared cause she’s actually still a few months off. She certainly looks it. I mean, I know she is Rachel. But I’ve never seen a woman this close to pop who was still so little.
Chandler even calls her fatty! Mate, have you seen yourself these last few seasons? (Bit of revenge for Keanu Reeves there)
His lack of tact is some cause for concern, as he’s about to interview for a big job. VICE PRESIDENT. The President of Vice. You’d think that would be Joey wouldn’t you?
Oh shit. He said what he actually does for a job!! Did anyone catch that?? I think it was… nope. It’s gone. Damn. I guess we’ll never know.
The advice everyone gives is “Just, don’t be yourself.” Which is… terrible advice for a job interview!
Well, maybe unless you are Chandler.
I remember well the advice given to me by a friends dad when I said I was considering a job in accounts:
“ARE YOU MAD. DON’T DO IT YOU’LL SPEND YOUR WHOLE LIFE HATING YOURSELF.”
No wait. Sorry, that wasn’t it.
“If you’ve got a personality you’ll go far.”
They weren’t wrong! I’ve barely gone anywhere.
Although I do think, unlike Chandler, you’ve got to show a fair bit of yourself in an interview. People want the real you. I must be doing something right. I’ve got the only two jobs I’ve applied for in the last 6 years. A REAL shame I couldn’t take the last one… (yes I am still annoyed about that.)
Elsewhere, Ross is explaining the situation with Rachel to a young lady at the store. Wow. It really does sound bad when you explain it. And yet the lady hits on him! Man, she knows he’s got kids… What’s she doing??
And Rachel is right there. Understandably a little jealous. Though also, I’m not sure she has any particular claim to him? Still. You’d think the lady, and Ross, would wait a couple of months!
You’re gona at least want him well enough rested to perform.
It turns out Rachel wants him well rested, and then some. Snapping under the competition (or maybe, understandably, getting a bit worried about the impending birth) “I want you to be at my constant beck and call!” God. Women, ay?? Can’t even impregnate them without them wanting you to not run around sleeping with other women.
In the midst of all this, both Rachel and Ross play a dangerous game. “Hey… are you sure you don’t… want something more?” before adding “ah, I’m just messing with you!!”
Come now. We all know the game. “Let’s put something on the table, and if it doesn’t land
claim it was just a joke”. Even if that’s not what they’re doing. Surely there’s so much risk the other one thinks they are??
I’m not convinced either of them don’t want it. But it’s timing. Always timing. Timing, timing, timing. If it isn’t now when would it be??
Elsewhere, elsewhere. Joey and Monica accidentally join a cooking class.
