I'm Jus Sayin'
If you are 40 and haven’t realized your dream of becoming a rapper…it’s time to get a new dream. I’m jus sayin!
Dating in the Workplace-What were you thinking?
You spend 75% of your life at work. It’s inevitable that you will become attracted to someone you work with. I am not a scientist and haven’t done any polls so any statistics I throw out at you will more than likely be wrong but I digress. What better place to get your man hunt on? You already know the basics:
1. Does he have a job? Check
2. Is he married? No pictures of women in bridal dresses on the desk. Check
3. Does he have any kids? He doesn’t complain about Child Support and the ”Man”….Check
After 20 nightmarish blind dates and countless emails from BLACKPEOPLEMEET.COM or e-Harmony, co-worker boy is starting to look very desirable. Sure he eats out every day and talks loudly on the phone. Maybe he can’t cook and is a little hard of hearing. That pales in comparison to BD18 (Blind date # 18) who coughed all night and tried to share your nachos. So you make your move, subtly getting his attention. He seems interested. What could go wrong?
1st date- nice but no real spark. Maybe he is just shy.
2nd date-nice, conversation is a little more interesting but still no spark. You think to yourself “we work together we can at least be friends”.
You assume he feels the same. Then something strange happens. You come to work and he is suddenly Mr. Popular. You brush it off as being paranoid. You could swear that the custodian looked at you and giggled. Women start whispering when you walk by. You hear that song in your head “somebody’s watching me” by that dude and Michael Jackson. He asks you to lunch. You decline. He comes to your desk at inappropriate times. You ask him to chill. He calls you babe in a meeting. You begin mentally filing a restraining order.
