Not only do I miss having a work boyfriend. I miss having anyone at my workplace that I look forward to seeing. Also as I have said else where, I miss having even the most casual interaction with anyone I find attractive. I am way too much of a homebody. Unless dunkin hires a cutie, I am pretty much out of luck.

Amen, sister.

I am in the office today, even got here before 7. Wish I had brought my anti-anxiety meds with me. I'm ok for now. We will see. I'm pushing the envelope here.

I am having flashbacks to the manager of the Dunkin's from when I worked at the bank in high school. He was hottt. Married, but still! He always brightened up the day when he came in with his deposit.

I have been starting to miss working in an office with other people. I still like freelancing and working from home, and it took about a year for me to even start missing other people, but I am, a little. Or maybe it's just this time of year.

My mother just had a revelation that the reason she doesn't want to retire is that she doesn't want to lose the office as a place to go that is filled with people to talk to! If you hadn't guessed, she is an extrovert.

My mom retired this year...and immediately found a part-time job that's perfect for her extroverted ways (organizing retreats/events for a spiritual retreat center). Although she also just didn't want to be at home all day, since my stepdad works from home and she said she'd straight-up murder him if she had to be around him 24/7.

My officemate has been back after 2 weeks off and OMFG I've learned so much in the last 1.5 hours!

I don't need marshmallows for the next 5 days, I need a fucking pig.

Teppy, you can come downtown and have lunch with me any time! And gossip about all your crazy authors.

IO "work and romance" N, I had a dream that is super-funny if you know me. In the dream, I had a hookup with a total stranger I met at some business conference, and somehow in scooping up my possessions from his hotel room, accidentally got his hotel/car key (it kept changing) in my suitcase. Then I immediately went on a family vacation with my kids, husband, and mother. Two days later I found an increasingly irate series of texts/emails from him in an email filter titled "lego" (???) about the fact that I had callously walked off with his key and then not responded to his texts (I didn't have a smartphone in the dream and had been off the computer, due to family vacation.) So I was trying to find the keys and figure out how to get them back to him ASAP without my family finding out about my one-night stand.

(As I hope you all have gathered, having known me since 2000, I have not kissed anyone besides my husband since 1996, and am possibly the last person on earth likely to have a random hookup with some business suited dude at a conference, who was totally not even my type.)

Screenplay, flea.

sarameg, I can't decide if I want an explanation about the marshmallows and pig. Maybe it should remain a mystery.

Oh good lord, speakerphone conference call in a cubicle? I know one of you has an office. Come on.
