I WARNED HIM !

19 years on the job! 19 years!!! Never have I been involved with someone from work. Never!

Oh, I have been out, throwing down shot's as a group, but never have I been in a romantic situation with someone from work.

Have I ever told you guy's I have never been out with a guy from work???

So about seven and a half years ago, this fine little redhead (architect) on floor number five came up to me while I was on break, outside smoking of course, and started telling me about how his wife left him sitting in a dentist chair. Yepper's, she picked that moment in his life to tell him she just didn't want to be married anymore.

Well back then I was married. I remember thinking to myself, 'Sorry babe, I can't help you out, I'm married.' I listened and I remember feeling really bad for him.

I have been divorced for five and a half years now. Don't worry about me my friends because I am still thanking the good Lord for getting the devil out of my house and life.

About a month ago I started meeting this fine redhead for coffee. I didn't ever let him pick me up. "I'll just meet you there" I told him.

On New Year's day I agreed to let him pick me up at my house. We were going out for coffee. While giving him direction's I specifically told him..."You will be running the gauntlet coming from that direction. Just make sure you drive 25!"

Did he listen? Did he take me seriously? Hell no! He ran it going 45! Did he get a ticket? Hell yes, he got a ticket!

Will I see him again? I sure as hell hope so.

Question: If I gave you directions to my house and I told you no matter what you do, just make sure you run the gauntlet doing 25. Would you drive 25?

He is a sweetie. A true gentleman. First time, he simply said "I'll see you at work tomorrow." Second time, he kissed me on the forehead. Third time, he kissed me on the cheek, really close to my right ear. Fourth time, he gently kissed my lips. (no tongue) Shit, damn, and that other word! I just can't wait for the fifth time!

I was indirectly involved with a relationship at work. Two people were in one and she split up with him. He was like a sick puppy and it affacted me since I had to do a lot more work that he was not doing. He was paid a lot more and was in a position of responsability. I hated the whole thing.

I am against getting involved with someone at work but I came to tha conclusion that if you do not work directly with someone it might be OK. That last person I liked was also the same situation but I never went for it. Glad you are. And wow, a redhead... nice.
