Monday Mention

Remember I told you about the tasty 6'5 eye candy I work with?  Oh, yes I admit I got a a crush on him just from afar. Although for the moment he sits right next to me. Well, two seats over. EC (eye candy for short) noticed I acted a bit different to him today.  I won't bore you with all the details, except it was 'me'--not really him.  
****Yesterday I posted whether you make an impression or impact on somebody. And the realization I can't compete with the 20 something sitting in the middle of EC and me. Was I feelin' old, out of sorts, and maybe some jealousy?  Heck, I am a spoiled only child, who do likes looking and talking to EC, but that's as far as it goes--EC makes me laugh.  So, of course you would like that to last. 
****Anyway, the whole point of this post,  EC tells me we haven't spoken all morning. And we hadn't. We kind of teased back and forth. Told him the 20 something needed to come back so he would quit talking to me. I thought I was being funny. Well, EC looks at me with those big baby browns and asks: Is there some jealousy? 
****Out of the mouths of babes....literally. 

Next to Last Day

of this second phase of training for the new job. I am happy bout that. I cannot tell a lie. Granted, I have learned quite a bit and grateful for it. Yet, I must be honest about my impatience on a couple fronts. Yea. Yea. Sure. It might be all due to the generation gap. It does exist. Majority of co-workers are 70's and 80's babies. I was doing other things when when these folks were in pre-school--like discovering the true meaning of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer--I digress. What I must remind myself of, I was their age once. Giddy. Loud. And the older folks  grew impatient with me too. Just when did this turn of the hands of time happen? The other impatience stems from the co-worker who said I did not talk much.  Yea. Yea. Sure. Well, somewhere along the way, I tried to talk to him. And he's few years younger. Dished up a few helpings of chat. I smiled. Thought I was witty. However, he seemed to deposit a  few words and strut on. While on the other hand, his looks toward me from other parts of the room or he stands close to me (like today) in silence, speak otherwise. Here again, I have not read the rules in the "How-to" book for this particular game in a decade or two or three. And I ain't got any plans to check the clearance bin of Amazon for said "How-to" book. I have decided to not instigate any chit chat. If he does want to chat, I am right there.  
OK.  Yes, I know I should be more understanding.  Patient. Friends are not made over night. .
Am I being too rough?  Be honest. I can handle it....uh...well... :)
