Matchmaker, matchmaker, make meeeee a match

So I'm back at work now, after my successful battle with the scurvy. Only I'd probably better go get some orange juice or something so I can keep staving it off. Thank you for your good vibes and kind wishes on my behalf. They comforted me marvelous much.

This morning my boss brings in a very cute guy who is interviewing for the position I will be leaving.

Boss: "Hey [Nemesis], this is [Cute Guy]."

Me: "Hello, Cute Guy. Nice to meet you."

Boss: "I wanted Cute Guy to meet you because he's single."

The office suddenly got very quiet, w/the occasional smothered chuckle and guffaw.

Me: "Well, isn't that nice . . . "

Turns out what he meant was that he wanted me to talk to the guy about what it's like doing this job (with the travel and lack of social life) from the perspective of a Singleton, since the others on the team are all married.

Yeah. It's never ridiculous to be me. But I didn't mind, because the guy turned out to be a great kisser.

Bwa hahahahaha! Good kisser! Hahahahahaha! Or, in the famous words of our despised friend Eddie, "lol."

I'm single, too. Maybe that's why you and I get along so well.

But sometimes there's nothing else to say but "LOL!" Cicada, I'm all worried about posting to your blog now because you don't know me and I think you'll be annoyed. (Worried eyebrow expression on face.)

Congrats on Cute Guy. Romances always seem to blossom at the most unexpected/inconvenient times, you know.

Gak. Sorry, Cicada. I meant Ambrosia, who, if you've read her blog, has been mildly annoyed by strangers posting to her blog. So I'm worried about posting to her blog too.

(Stumbles away to hide under a large rock.)

Tee hee. Nemesis has a boyfriend, Nemesis has a boyfriend. (How did I miss all this? Maybe I should turn the headphones down.)

*TM--Sorry if I sounded a little harsh. I would love to hear your opinion on my posts. What I *really* meant was "Shut up, Eddie." 'Cause that guy is irritating, and also probably not real.

Nah, she should only sue if the guy turned out to be a bad kisser. ^_~
