all at sixes and sevens
So Monday seemed fine, I hardly saw her, we spoke briefly at the end of the day, probably about work - no, I met her at the tube station on the way home and we chatted a little about nothing much - she hadn't made it to see "The Lion King" musical with her kids as she'd planned, that sort of thing..
Tuesday, suddenly, Blam! She was dressed in white, bare arms, smelled heavenly, came and stood next to me to ask about work, I was just consumed with lust. I could barely concentrate. I was supposed to show her how to set up an e-bay sellers account but when I'd finished my work and went to look for her she'd gone home. And I got so depressed; I can't tell you. Got home and felt bad all evening, and for much of today. What's that all about?
Today she was away on a training course. I've researched the e-bay thing a bit - it's got to be easy hasn't it?
I tried to catch up with the gossip on Monday, talking to my immediate junior who'd also been away on leave and is probably the best person to acquire such information from. I don't normally concern myself with these matters at all, but now I have an interest. Bob, she said, apart from having a general air of disreputability about him, had questionable morals where women were concerned, had been going out with a woman from another department in the same building, and someone else as well at the same time. I thought I sensed a knowledge of who this someone else was, and a reluctance to tell me, which I attributed to an inkling at least that I've been spending time with the same person...
I also found out from her where he lives - just on the other side of the Heath as it turns out, not so far away from where Indira and I were walking the other day. I wonder if he's been walking there with her too? Anyway that would certainly make it easy enough for him to nip over and meet her for lunch in Dave's Diner.
Meanwhile in perhaps desperate attempts to unfocuss a bit I posted a photo of myself on the "hotornot" website. A very unflattering photo, I felt, but the only one I had available at the time. I also set up a "meet me" profile with a rather cantankerous message warning women who'd put "astrology" as an interest to stay the hell away from me. Not only did the picture acquire a 'hotness' rating of 7.4 out of 10 (but you should see some of the '8's - yechh!), but also the profile attracted a really strikingly attractive Italian woman from Turin who shares my liking for Leonard Cohen among many other things. We're now correspondeing by e-mail. What are the chances of that? Of course I'm really anxious that I'll be too boring and she'll lose interest, but there's not much I can do about that...nothing like finding the cloud to every silver lining, is there?
