yesterday at work a 43 year old man called the front office, and specifically asked one of the receptionists up front if i were single, and if i was interested, and maybe he could come in to the office so he could ask me to dinner?
!!! who does that? are we in junior high or what?
he's a paitent in the office, and his three darling girls (yes he has kids- god knows if he's married) and he came in to "get his glasses adjusted", which while is a pretty common thing at work, i knew it was like, the worst cop-out ever. i proceeded to do my work in the back of the office where he couldnt see me, nor talk to me. but then he "hung out" and talked to the receptionists for another half hour, making small talk and wasting their time as well. i ended up sneaking out the back door like a coward. no way was i about to even start a confrontation of any measure with him.
and no, its not flattering. its fucking creepy. had he maybe ACTED like a 43 year old and politely asked ME personally if i would like to have dinner, it would be slightly better (but still fucking creepy). sheesh. no wonder he's single. at least, i hope he's single, otherwise that'd just be all kinds of wrong. yuck.
i love my job. jesus. i left native for a reason.
