Introduction

There is a new guy at the airport who is replacing the freak with the obsession of walking me to my car. Last weekend, he kept calling my name when I was on the phone with customer and after hanging up I yelled out "What the f*** do you want!" I heard later he was mad at me for speaking to him that way. He had to tell me that a car rental gal next door was offering a date with me in exchange for getting a discount at his new job for her, and wanted my opinion of that. I rolled my eyes and said Whatever. At least I amused the gal next door and my coworker for a saying a bad word, and in anger. My gal friend had to repeat what I said trying to sound like me.

Anyway, I got off the track of my introduction to the new guy. I asked the car rental guy next door if he spoke to him. He had not. I asked he was rude or antisocial. He just never bothered to say hello. I went right up to the counter and introduced myself, I think I said my name twice from being nervous. I asked his name and diverted my attention to his trainer tell her that I got Rejection#3 in the mail. I turned to him to explain I was a struggling author. Then I let them get back to training.

I gleefully bragged about my introducing myself to a stranger, but forgot his name in the 2 minutes that lapse. My coworker heard from the owner's wife that he is a medical student who took the job to be around people. I am praying he is single. I thought asking that would be too forward and eager. I can unshy myself around cute guys. I thought back to my class reunion and how they would all be falling over in shock how different I am. They might not be able to handle a familiar stranger. Maybe it is best I am not friends with anyone from that moment in time. Coworkers get unnerved if I don't say anything for 15 minutes. Sometimes I just don't have much to say.

After a while, I did recall his name. Post later. Bye!
