You're Fucking Kidding Me, Right? a Deux

One of the mechanics at N.C. cannot keep it in his pants. Can Not. Mind you, it is beyond me how he gets laid as often as he does, but I have to give him credit ~ somehow or other, the man is a sex machine. Partly, it's because the women he attracts are very much the Officer and a Gentleman, looking to get out of town with anyone and anything that will take them away from where they are because it's gotta be better than here, often looking for a baby daddy, type of women. But still. A charmer, he's not. Nonetheless, he gets laid. And because of the women he has sex with ~ and the lies he tells them in order to have sex with them ~ these women believe/insist they are Mechie's Girlfriend instead of the Chick Mechie's Fucking This Week.

So, the other day, Mechie decides he's getting a little bored with and crowded by the latest CMFTW and stops returning her calls and text messages, which, given her understanding of the relationship, bothers her. But what does she do? In an attempt to garner sympathy...scare the crap out of him...get back at him...get back with him...who the hell knows...she texts him saying she has been hospitalized with the Swine Flu and reminds him he has been exposed. Then she stops responding to his calls or texts.

Here's the thing ~ had Mechie been exposed to Swine Flu, we all would've had to have been quarantined. The helicrew spends too much time in too small a space, and Lithus and I have obviously been exposed to one another's germs. We had managed to be in Mexico when the Swine Flu broke out...and were going to be quarantined in Medford, Oregon. Twenty minutes later and several calm-professional-sounding-but-hiding-the-underlying-panic phone calls to hospitals by Lithus (and one near manic call to the Lovely Cats on my part) and it was established that CMFTW had lied about Swine Flu, her motives had been less than pure, and we weren't going into a five day quarantine at the helibase. And TTG for it.

Nonetheless ~ you're fucking kidding me, right?

So what did Mechie do? Texted her and told her he hoped she was feeling better and he was really sorry he hadn't gotten a chance to say goodbye before he left but he was in Utah on another gig now and wouldn't be back to Medford this summer. Then went and found the next CMFTW ~ who at least hasn't tried to get us quarantined. Yet.

Those are Pobble Thoughts. That and a buck fifty will get you coffee.
