I feel like a loser!

So on top of mangling my hot glasses last week, I seem to have also lost my cell phone. I cannot find it anywhere. Now, I have 2 cell phones - the primary one I have, cause that never leaves my hand (lol). The secondary one - the one I used for business calls, but now hardly use at all - is missing. I was so tired on Friday morning that when I was transferring stuff from my khaki coloured purse to my khaki and army green handbag, I told myself I could not bother to look for the phone in the deep recesses of the bag just then. I would take the one I always use and look for the Motorola after. I got home, did not bother to look for it. Yesterday morning, I looked in my bag and it was not there so I concluded it was somewhere in my room, among the clutter. I just cleaned the room and the phone is nowhere to be found. I think I may have left it in the taxi cause I remember digging around for my keys and taking the phone out to get a better feel around the bottom of the bag. I am just annoyed with myself for being such a loser, and being so out of sorts after so much alcohol that I lost my phone and almost destroyed my glasses. Say no to tequila, friends.

edit: I found the phone, in the deep, dark recesses of the handbag. I swear, I was sober today! And congrats to the West Indies cricket team. What an awesome display of cricketing today, guys, especially after Friday's debacle. Keep it up.

In other news, I was telling PT last night about the guys at work and how all work stops, chairs turn and faces light up in interest, when I pass by to say hello. It's so funny, kinda cute, but ultimately a dead end. There is one dude at work who seems to be actively trying to "cop a feel" aka make a move. Not my type but he is cool I guess. I have not had much conversation with him but he always passes by my desk and says hi and makes idle conversation. So I see a friend request on Facebook from some dude I don't know. The photo shows a half naked man - some dude, from the neck down, in just a pair of skimpy boxers, taking a photo in front of a mirror. I said to myself, "Ugh. I don't know people like this" and clicked "Ignore". Yes yes. I am terrible but if you're just figuring this out, then boo to you.


So work dude comes to my desk and asks me if I saw his friend request, and I realise the dude who I have to call for help with my pc is the dude wearing Chippendale boxers on Facebook. I wanted to laugh, but I am too polite and told him yes, I saw it but explained that I don't add people I work with to my FB list. It's true though - I don't. It's the same reason why even if he were a Tamale kinda guy, I probably would not date him, cause I just believe in keeping my personal life and my work life separate. I have only ever dated one person I worked with and it was not too bad cause I left that place about 2-3 weeks after we started seeing each other. But as a general rule, I think it is an open invitation for conflict, gossip and farseness. So I don't want this dude all up in my business and him having my photos open for the entire company to see. When I saw the request the name did not even alert me - an indication of how little I know about this person. In any event, I would feel very odd adding a dude who is taking half naked photos of himself and posting them on the internet. I would hate to know this person is sitting in the dark somewhere, while on my Facebook page, doing God knows what with himself.

  1. These people have no shame do they? Can they not see how deeply unattractive that is? I can't believe he had the nerve to approach you and ask about the FB friend request, as though you were going to be really pleased and confirm that you had added him, right away. It's fortunate that you have a thick skin :)

  2. Why the hell would anyone do a friend request and have a half naked pic of themself? That sort of stuff is just unbelievable. And Lerm, do shut-up!

  3. I regret adding one work friend to my facebook, but it can't be undone. I should have used the same rule.
