The creepy IT chick who sits next to me has been flirting with this other contracting IT guy for quite some time now. They've had noisy lunches at her desk and he is always popping up throughout the day to 'chat'. And by 'chat' I mean 'cleverly ask questions about the program they are both working on while disguising it as just saying hi'. The other day she decided to up the ante and ask him out to dinner. They are two of the most annoying people here so the thought of anything personal makes my skin crawl. If only they spoke quieter.
Anyway, he politely declined... saying he had to pick up something or another (I really was trying not to listen) and I figured he wasn't interested in her for anything other than information. She's a smart girl, right? She should get the hint. Nope. Soon after I walked around the corner to see her giving him an impromptu neck massage and quickly searched for the White-Out to put onto my eyes and erase that icky visual. It was obvious she was going for the kill when he managed to once again slip away. the next day I was walking down the hall and heard him talking to someone about what to do for the evening. I shrugged it off and went to my desk. He followed behind me and as if on cue his cell phone rang. He immediately starts sweet talking then gets off of the phone. She mentions him making plans without her and he says, "That was my sweetie. She just wanted to know what our plans were for the evening." I could almost hear the IT chick's heart breaking. I gave a sigh of relief thinking it was the end of hourly visits and icky flirtations. Don't get me wrong. I don't wish bad on the quirky chick. I'm sure she'll find another icky guy who will appreciate her and treat her right. I just hope it's not while at work. Ew.
