Paranoia, someone's coming to get me?
So, when I was a senior in high school, I used to regularly babysit for these two little girls. Next door, lived a family with two young boys, and their father worked at Budweiser and knew my dad. I babysat a few times for the boys, was friendly with the dad from general good-neighbor I'm gonna watch the babysitter for the single parent next door kind of deal, and chatting while waiting at the bus stop for the kids. He had asked me about my plans after high school, and knew I had applied to Bud as a weekender, and a year later when I got in, congratulated me and what-not. After I went to college, I stopped babysitting, partially because I started working a Bud. I've worked there for 4 years now, this being my fifth summer.
Working as infrequently as I do (only weekends), I never really saw the guy that much, especially because I'm never on the same job twice in a row or anything. Last summer, the guy started suggesting breakfast after work, but it never really happened because of plans or what not. It never crossed my mind that it was nothing more than checking up on the young kid who used to babysit in his neighborhood, being one of the youngest employees I'm used to people kind of checking up on me and making sure everything is okay.
This summer I'm working full time. I see the guy pretty much every day, and things are cordial. We ended up having breakfast about a month ago, meeting after work at a place on the way to both of our homes. He kept getting phone calls, which he explained were an angry girlfriend. He was in the middle of a nasty divorce, he had cheated and gotten caught. I was a little uncomfortable with him telling me about his divorce from his bitchy wife, then about his bitchy girlfriend. I didn't think much of the whole thing, I figured he was just catching up, maybe even a little bored or lonely, which our shift definitely lends itself too.
I was a little sketched out though, when he asked me where I was on Monday, because he was looking for me. He apparently was going to see if I wanted to catch a movie. Then when I asked him which one, he was like oh I don't know whatever is playing. We had been walking down the hall, and he kind of stopped talking about it when we got closer to other people. I guess what makes me uncomfortable is just his mannerisms. Maybe I'm just being paranoid. I hope I'm just being paranoid.
Long story short, I hope this guy doesn't have a babysitter fantasy :P
