An Unexpected Encounter with Lord Osif

Over the weekend, I found myself sitting in a restaurant with a young brunette lady. I don’t recall how I arrived or where I was before, so it is reasonable to assume that multiple adult beverages were involved.
We were chatting when, suddenly, she made a disparaging remark concerning workers in restaurants, generally, and the employee behind me, specifically. I glanced and saw Apprentice Osif behind the counter.
My visceral thought was ‘He is one of my top ten friends.’ and this was quickly followed by ‘If not in the top five’. At this point, I was weighting subjective standards to ascertain exactly where Lord Osif stands in my hierarchy.
I was becoming increasingly frustrated with the process, as multiple Apprentices, acquaintances, and friends were moving up and down the mental list as difference criteria were alternately applied and removed, as I could not discover any absolute value, The process was fraught with endless difficulties. And then I woke up.
