Just call me Chicken...

Over the last couple of months, I’ve been getting a lot of calls from one of our sites in Canada from the same guy. He’s always calling to talk to one of my attorneys who never seems to be avaiable, and so the calls bounce over to me. Usually, I just put him into voicemail, but lately, we’ve started joking and just making conversation. You know how it is when you talk to the same person on the phone A LOT, and so eventually you start to feel like you know that person.

Well, this week, he was here in our office, and he had threatened to drop in on me and meet me face-to-face. I confess I was slightly eager to meet him as well. No strings mind you, I just knew he seemed like a decent guy on the phone. I didn’t have any romantic ideas about him, mind you—this was just a curiosity thing.

Well, today he called from another floor in our site and so I knew he was actually here. I heard him arrive in my attorney’s office (around the corner from me) and I just had to get a peek, and so I walked over that direction to the copy room and nonchalantly glanced into the office.

He was there all right—in all his hotness. I was tempted to go and introduce myself, but I snuck back to my office. I was thankful that my office is not right next to my attorney’s so that we didn’t have to meet. I don’t know a thing about him. I don’t know if he’s married or not, straight or gay, etc. All I know is that a man like that would have me stammering and making a complete fool of myself in 10 seconds flat. It’s best to just leave things as they stand and keep the mystery! Besides, maybe he won’t notice the drool over the phone…
