maybe this story will entertain you - or maybe some of you can sympathize with me:
so there's this coworker of mine - we're not in the same group - she's in operations, but because she handles one of the products i handle, i work with her daily - mostly me asking her about supply, die, and binning issues.
anyway so last week, i called her as usual to ask about the usual stuff. so i'm not sure how our conversation diverged - i think she changed the subject because she knew she was going to get in trouble again - but she suddenly asked if i had a boyfriend. i told her no, which i soon learned was one of the biggest mistakes of my life. she got really excited and she started asking me for my picture, to which of course i said NO. she told me she wanted to hook me up with a friend, and again i told her NO. in fact, i said NO so many times, my coworkers started asking me in the middle of my conversation what the heck we were talking about. anyway she kept insisting, and i kept saying NO. she told me, "no, really! he's a nice guy. i told my husband if we don't work out, i'm going to go after him!" mind you, my coworker is basically a fob in her early 40's. so of course my immediate reaction was "EW. NO thank you!!" so basically the rest of our conversation revolved around her asking for my picture and me saying NO. she told me that every time i call her (which is usually at least a couple times a day) she's going to ask me until i give in. luckily, since it's chinese new year this week, it's been slower than usual on that end, so i haven't had to talk to her much. i hope that by next week she'll have forgotten our conversation and will stop bugging me. after i got off the phone, all my coworkers asked me what i was talking about since all they could hear me say was "NO! NO! NO!" after i told them what happened they busted up laughing and threatened to send her my picture. i have such great supportive coworkers.
i'm kind of scared she'll pop by my cube one day with a camera, but thankfully i don't think she'd go that far. i hope.
