About five times a year, I have to come into work on a Saturday. In the computer industry, it’s called a release, and it’s the time where we publish the latest version of our website. The whole department comes in, and despite the coffee, donuts, and catered lunch, it’s a pretty hectic time. But there’s plenty of time where you are just waiting, and to the Office Player, that’s flirting time!
First let me talk about Maryanne. Yesterday (Friday), she was in a somewhat playful mood. When I was standing in line at the cafeteria, Maryanne sneaked up behind me and touched me. (It wasn’t quite a squeeze or a tickle, more like a two-handed tap.) Then she commented on how thin I looked. Talk about flirtatious! I tried my darndest to meet up with her that afternoon, but she was always busy. Later that day, she came to me with a business issue, and the playful mood was gone. Same thing with today; no playful mood.
Hasna is on maternity leave (more on that in a later post). Ashna and Michelle work on a different web site. Ellen works in a completely different department. So who does that leave? Well, time to introduce another hottie!
Let me tell you about Praveena. She is a consultant with whom I have worked before. She is in her thirties, average looks, a little chunky, glasses. (I love glasses!) And she’s always smiling — and you know how the Office Player loves a nice smile! And get this: the few times I have seen her, she has always been asking me how I’ve been doing, what’s new, etc. Is she flirting with me? We shall see. I flirted with her a few times today. Not too strong, mind you, just enough to keep the juices flowing.
Praveena works in my old office location. But so does Maryanne. It’s safe to say that I will be venturing back there often.
