Oy!! Enough With The Poodles Already!

I've been working in this particular office for just over a month now. I've gotten to know the people there fairly well. I've even went out after work for food and drink with a couple of the girls, 2 in particular. One of them is rather reserved, but oh so cool. I hit it off with her right away. The other gal it took me a while to figure her out, but now I can say with utmost confidence, I like her and she cracks me up. She's kinda like an older version of me, only thinner and on Coke. She's got more energy then anyone I've ever seen. She takes things and runs with them, like I do, only 100 times worse. I was talking about giving myself a swirly the other day and she ran with it and took it to a place where baldness would ensue due to the whirlpool pressure created in the local commode. She's a goof. seriously, and she's loud. Really loud. I'm loud... but she's... more loud.

Anyway she has a son, he's young. Way to young. Way to young for me. However this woman will not let go of the fact that her son and I have to hang out. I told her I was an old fart with baggage, but she is not dropping this issue at all. She informed me today that she told her son about me, and told him that it wasn't like we had to date or anything... we could just "Hang Out" and have a good time. Then she informed me that he was up for it, once he got back from school. Yeah... he's in college... and not his 5th time around, like myself.

I'm not going to loose sleep over this one, because I've artfully dodged dating before, and I can do it again. But I tell myself it's a compliment becuase this woman is quite blunt and to the point. And if she didn't like me, she wouldn't be pressuring me to hang with her son, right? Right.

**sigh** It's rough being popular.
