Four that wanna bone me, two that wanna stone me, and one says shes a friend of mine...
Yeah so I changed the lyrics a bit but whatever, seems fitting at this time. Several of my interns have some hardcore crushes on me, and have begun letting other interns as well as paid staff members at work know all about their feelings. Generally not a big deal, but its like a swarm all at once of different interns confessing their feelings towards me, which is fine, yet I won't act on any of them for several reasons. 1) Don't shit where ya eat and especially don't get involed with interns 2) Feelings aren't mutual on my part 3) I forgot what three was going to be as I'm pissed I'm out of Merlot right now and all I can find is some shitty Reunite'...back to Bud Light.
However, I have a helluva crush on a woman I do work with; she's sweet, honest, kind, non-drug user, non-smoker, petite blue-eyed blonde...yeah totally not my general type thats for sure for those that know my type, you'll agree there. She's one of those adorable, hugable type-a-girls. She called me out of the blue for no reason on Sweetest Day to wish me a Happy Sweetest Day...regardless of how much I dispise single-awaress holidays, this really touched me hardcore. We've been flirtaous (drinking...leave my spelling alone) at work, but nothing really much further. Duroing one conversation she mentioned she had never gotten flowers before and I think this is gonna be something I pursure as far as letting her know that I kinda have a thing for her. And I'm still working out details on what I'd have on the crad if I did decide to do the flowers thing, but yet trying to stay away from the creepyness that may possibly come around should I send it 'from a secret admirer. etc.
Other than that, everything else in my life revolves around work and I totally feel like I'm on a downward spiral destined to hit bottom eventually, yet everyday I feel like I claw a few feet higher, then slide a few inches....or vice-versa depending on the day. A fellow co-worker is totally trying to fuck me over at work and has said on several occassions that he's jealous of the type of relationship I have with our boss, and that he feels that I'm the boss' right hand man and he's in the background even though he's been there longer. The reason I suspect him for trying to make me look bad at work all comes down to a recent event we had...part of my job was to interview people before and after the Paul McCartney concert on the mini-disc player. I had 17 minutes of audio when I lent the player to my coworker after I had gotten before concert audio and when he gave it to me before the concert ended so I could get the after audio, the disc had been erased. Now for those of you who have used a mini-disc recorder or are even remotely familiar with one, you know you have to go through several menus before even being able to erase a disc and eventually being asked 'Are you sure you want to erase disc?' and then having to hit 'yes' or 'no'. I didn't get in trouble primarily because I had interviewed over 200 people after the show and got some kick ass audio clips which by the way are airing on and off all week. The boss' were so content with the other audio all they did was ask if I had gotten any before show audio and of course when my coworker found out I was going to discuss the audio clips with the sound engineers, he opted to tag along, I'm guesssing to see me get chewed out, however, he got to see me get cudos instead. There are also other instances in which he removed equipment and/or supplies from vans after he used them knowing I was scheduled to use them next...however, my crucial attention to detail when I'm at work, I double and triple check everything...in my job I tell all my interns, remember one thing in this business C.Y.A., Cover Your Ass or you'll end up with C-YA. I'm so fucking mad about this shit, but what can ya do, especially when ya can't prove anything and another person's jealousy is mere heresay. My coworker did say one thing that rings louder than ever in my mind lately 'Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer'...bring it on, you have no idea what you're getting into....bad thing is, in the professional world ya can't really get away with challenging a coworker to a fist-fight in the parking lot for trying to fuck up your career...well at least and not get away with it. I so think I'm gonna have to call a meeting with the boss' to get this out on the table in case he decides to shit talk me or make it appear via convo's with the boss' that I'm not getting it done.
Anyway, after fighting with myself on this one I'm gonna go 'friends only' here...just in case.
