So I decided to take myself to brunch one Sunday at one of my favorite restaurants to get some work done. You know…kill two birds with one stone. Anyway as I was working on my laptop, I noticed this scruffy looking guy walking in my direction. I assumed he was going to a nearby table, but to my chagrin, he pulled up a chair RIGHT next to me. [F**K!!!!!!!!!!!!!! There are sooooo many open seats in this place. Why are you encroaching on my space?] I was not in the mood to entertain any form of conversation and continued to work on my laptop as if he wasn’t there, but this fella was completely oblivious to all of my non-verbal cues.…

Super Bowl Showdown

A few days before the party, I got a call from a guy (let’s call him Lew Zer) that I had been out with a couple of months prior and he informed me that he’d also be at the Super Bowl party.

Free Lunch
So I was the receptionist for a company which meant that everyone had to bypass me to get into the building. There was this guy who worked there who reminded me of Marvin from Players Club and two months went by before he built up the nerve to actually part his lips to say hello. [I was the receptionist, so I spoke to everyone.] Marvin and I gradually had more conversations as time went on. One day as he was taking his lunch break, he asked me if i wanted him to bring me something back from this popular restaurant near the office. I gave him my number and told him to call me…
