Tilt!

How bizarre.

The janitor was just hanging out in my office. I'm not used to seeing him before 8pm and we chatted for a few minutes. He's a 23 yr old piece of eye-candy. He thought I was 29 or 30.

really!?!@!! maybe he's pulling my leg... or used to flattering women... or hasn't gotten close enough to see the gray hair and the skin around my eyes... but.. dang! For about 1 minute I was bowled over.

I'm thinking he hasn't gotten close enough to see my worn edges. It's the bangs. They totally cover the lines on my forehead. And maybe my young outlook/behaviour; I probably don't act like I'm old enough to be his mom. Now that's a disturbing thought... old enough to be his mom. E-gads.

So of all the people in this largely male workplace, this 23 year old hot-pocket chooses to pass the time with you, telling you tales of his bad-boy rebellious ways, and run-ins with the law, and specifically his not using a device used to restrain him? (didn't you know he's unrestrainable?) He still managed to engage you in conversation seeking common ground. Considering your advanced age, he did pretty well!

ku-ku-catchu!

lol.. fell out of my chair... The not-so-cute young male delivery guy, the older graying trash collector, and the (happily married) chubby forklift driver all chat w/ me too.

It's because I'm approachable. I'm a nice person with an approachable vibe. I greet everyone who makes eye contact and I'm especially respectful to the people who clean up our trailer, bring in the mail and operate heavy equipment near my car.
