The Kat House

I was out in the plant earlier today, and one of our temps stopped me. This guy has been asking me out for nearly a year and a half, and he continues to do so. I guess I should give him points for persistence, although I’m obviously not interested. And even if I were, I can’t date someone I work with. That Josh guy worked with me, but we never saw or talked to each other outside of work until he left to start Police Academy.

Anyway, Barry stopped me today, and he told me that I was looking very sexy. I was flattered, so I told him thanks. Then he said that my gym workouts must be going well, because I’m almost as muscular as he is. LOL. I had to laugh at that one. The next comment I wasn’t sure how to take. At first I was shocked. Then I was offended. Then I was confused.

“You look shorter, but you’re definitely looking thicker.” Thicker? THICKER??? I quickly defended myself. “Barry, with all this time I’m spending in the gym, I shouldn’t be looking bigger! I should be looking smaller!” He laughed and replied that “thick” was meant as a compliment – that it’s a way of saying that I’m looking “finer”. Then why didn’t he just say I was looking finer? I asked another guy who was standing there, and he confirmed that the statement was indeed a compliment. He said, “Don’t you see the smile on Barry’s face? That should tell you all you need to know.” Interesting. I learn something new every day.
