Sod that for a barrel of monkeys

So, that bloke I chat to at the coffee place when I'm doing the morning run asked me out for drinks the other day. And I took him up on it, since he's a nice enough sort, likes my jokes, makes me laugh. Not bad on the eyes either. Thought I'd try this whole dating thing, yeah?

Never. Again.

Or at least, not with someone I have to double-check everything I say. Bad enough some of the research trips we take here, but when he asks about what I like to read and the automatic answer's Ignatious's Realms of Maelstrom, well, it makes conversation hard. Even if conversation wasn't really what he was after. *rolls eyes* Thanks but no thanks.

Still, I tried. Makes you realise how fucked-up our lives are sometimes, tho'.

Oh, and Doug, found a bit of fun for you when I was doing the week's Weird Shite Google run. ;)

It occurs to me that we're obviously not giving you enough work to do.

There's a new list of global hotzone contacts in your inbox that we need updated. Enjoy.

Is it my fault this is what comes up when I'm looking for recent references to summoning spells?

Fine, fine. I need to work on my Arabic pronunciation any way and Betsy's contacts are always good for a laugh.

If that gets too thrilling to handle, bump up your biweekly for this afternoon and we'll test out my new Capresso machine on lattes.

I'm sure Remy wouldn't have a problem with that, would he.

Hmm, therapy or database updating... Choices, choices. *grins* See you at three?

And I thought Wanda and Angie were going to bribe you to never let me have your coffee ever again after last time?

[x-viento.livejournal.com]

It's a latte, so it will contain less caffeine. Really.

Either way, it is worth risking my bribe. Sending you out into the unsuspecting world afterwords is always entertaining.

Oh boy. At least you can say you tried? We just need to find you someone you can chat with about everything...I wonder.

Get that matchmaking glint out of your eye, Pizza Girl...

Wait, is this why you asked me to do the coffee run for the next week?

[xp_daytripper]

*innocent* But that would be chicken of me if it was, wouldn't it?

Just for the week? He'll forget about it soon enough.
