Undercover agent...

I apologize again that it has been so long since my last post, but since then I have worked 20+ hours of overtime and the thought of sitting in front of my computer when I got home from work was nauseating...

So, way back at the beginning of March I made plans with my friend Jessica to meet for coffee...Jess is a friend I made when I was working at my old job at Manulife, she was lucky enough to get the cubicle beside me and we just kinda hit it off...Jess is a few years younger than me, so whenever I speak about her to Jason I refer to her as "my little friend Jess" cause I have another friend Jess in KW as well and this reference keeps the two of them straight in mine and Jason's conversations...

Anyways the date for mine and Jess's coffee date changed a couple times, due to her being at the end of term and me going up north for Easter, but we finally were able to meet at William's on the 13th...Jess always makes me laugh and she entertains me with her dating dilemma's...As Jess and I are sitting there talking about work, family, friends, cars etc. we notice that there is an awkward looking man listening to our conversation at the table next to us, so Jess whispers to me "is he listening to us" and I say "ya I am pretty sure he is" well buddy turns and looks at me like he just heard us whispering about him, but that was impossible cause we were talking so low that we were barely even whispering...So Jess and I start watching him (thankfully he was sitting back to us) and notice buddy brought a book with him, however he hasnt opened the book, he has a coffee in front of him, but he's not drinking it and he's wearing ear plugs, but what is in front of him on the table is definitely not an MP3 player...As Jess and I talk (whisper) about it more we suggest that what he had on the table looked more like some type of listening device than an MP3 player and we begin to notice that he kept looking around the room like he was listening to other people's conversations and not just ours!!!

Now I know you are thinking I am completely paranoid, but behind us was a table of 4 who were also noticing how weird buddy was acting...Eventually he got up, took his book and undrunk coffee to another table where two mean were playing backgammon handed them his things spoke to them briefly in another language and left...so we gave a sigh of relief and assumed the awkward man had heard whatever he need to hear and was gone...Well low and behold buddy comes back about 10 minutes later with another awkward looking man, gets his coffee and book from the other men and sits back at the same table he was at before and places the same device on the table between him and other said awkward man...Only conclusion I can come to is he was a spy for the Russian government (I have no idea what race he was, but what ever language him and the other men spoke it sounded Russian!)...

Just for the record I have not done anything to piss of any foreign intelligence, so I know they weren't after me, but it definitely added some thing special to our coffee date!
