Another year of blathering from me!
So!! I want to tell you allllllll about the interviews. They were fluffy love-fests, yeah a far, far cry from getting CANNED almost a year and 1/2 ago. 4 hours of fairly tough questions, yet they were delivered by people I know, and I was still riding high from an amazingly great presentation to the board/cabinet (or whatever kind of furniture pieces you want to call them), so I was on a roll!
I was so much on a roll that I took myself out for Champagne and fun conversation on Thursday night.
…and it all went to HELL on Friday.
First thing, when I stepped into my cube, I noticed my phone message light blinking. I almost wish I hadn’t checked it because it was Krab Kakes’ boss pretty much FREAKING OUT about a whole bunch of stuff. KK was throwing me under the bus!!
Long, long story and a whole weekend full of working this shit out, and I’m hoping that today is going to be a better day.
Project KK is the biggest thorn in my side since Mr. Peepers (anyone remember him at all?).
Luckily, I still have the former Product Manager for my categories still around. She is simply the BEST in the world. She walked into my cube immediately after the phone message and I must have just had this stunned look on my face. She actually picked my jaw up off the ground and marched me down to KK’s Boss’s office to help untangle the web of death that Krab Kakes tried to spin.
I thank the heavens above for Jen (my predecessor). We’ve bonded over the last few weeks and I owe her so, so much. She’s also up for the promotion, and I honestly hope that she gets it (if she really wants it) because she has her sh*t completely together.
Love her.
Don’t love Krab Kakes, but I have to live with her for the time being, so… onward.
Had a date last night with…what am I going to name him? I have a feeling he’s going to be the topic of many of my writings in the near future, so I have to give him a name.
Hm.
My god, is he sexy.
SexyPants. I’m sorry, I’m going to have to use that. At least for now. Because, damn.
So, SexyPants flew back into town last night, and I picked him up at the airport. He was looking H.O.T. and not simply because it was about 105 degrees outside. Whoa. I was happy, but very nervous to see him.
We went to a Mexican place for dinner and drank some kind of fancy-pants Margaritas and I had a superior goat cheese enchilada that rocked my world and I guess the combination of everything made me just want to talk and talk and talk. And he just sat there with the most sexy little smile while I talked through my work issues and my family stuff and my love life and my ways. He interjected every now and then and told me about his adopted kids and his jet-setting ways and the big team-building/guys weekend he has planned and the hours just melted away.
The restaurant cleaned around us and we finally took the hint when they started stacking the chairs on the tables!
We walked next door to the wine bar (the infamous wine bar where Mikey and I first got the tingles for each other!). Drank some bubbly and talked some more, and SexyPants has this touchy thing that gives me the chills. He rubbed my legs and nuzzled my neck while we sat in a banquette and talked and talked and talked some more. And he kissed me that way that I LOVE to be kissed and I pictured us naked together.
I wasn’t wearing any panties, and I bet he noticed when we finally left and walked to my car and he wrapped his arms around me and rubbed his hands over my hips.
He knows.
He knows that my shyness is part nervousness, part self-protection, part tease. I like that he knows. He’s perceptive and just aggressive enough, and has what it takes to push me a liiiiiitle further every time. I LOVE this part of the game. Not always, but with him? Ohhhhh yes, baby. I’m going to milk this deliciousness until….
Well, who knows.
Let’s just say that when I get a vision of myself and a guy naked together, it’s pretty much ON. It is GOING TO HAPPEN.
He’s in town until Thursday, when he jets off to the Pacific NW to gather his troops and rally as only The Boys can rally. I don’t know what that means, but it sounded good to me.
He wants to see me tonight! And I want to see him too!!
But for now, I need to figure out what I’m going to wear to work. Need some kind of combination of business and pleasure because I have more meetings with big wigs today and will go straight from work to see SexyPants. Plus, I have to wear something that makes me feel confident because I have a feeling I will have a lot of Krab Kake interactions today too!
Off and running, my Luvahs!! XO
