taking a bad thing one step too far

In reference to my last post on interoffice scoping, it turns out she’s not in her late 20’s. Alas, I’m an idiot. Whilst out drinking last night with friends, the story I told you below came up in our conversation. I mentioned something about her age and got more than one guffaw from the group. “No way man, she’s 35 to 40, easy.” “35 plus or minus 2 years.”

So the only natural thing to do was to lay down bets on how old she really is. Fifty-dollar bets. In my inebriated state, I somehow found the balls to volunteer to ask her personally (as if we’re close enough for me to do that. We’re not). The balls I found last night predictably vanished when I got to work today and I did not ask her. I’d like to think that it’s not so much that I lost the balls, but that I gained my senses back.

So it appears all bets are off since no one is willing to ask her. But there’s a Plan B. I’d be happy to tell you about it but it’s top secret. Details to come.
