Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! Damn it! I cannot believe what a magnificent tool I am. Yesterday I walked into a building off campus to meet with some folks about moving some equipment. I was a bit late so I was in a hurry. As I walked in, I overheard a hot chick saying to her group, “I can never find anyone willing to go eat sushi with me.” I turned around and said, “I’ll go eat sushi any time you like!” She said, “What are you doing right now?” as I was about to enter the room where the meeting was to take place. I stopped and said, “Oh! I can't right now. I have to go to this meeting and then be back at the TOB by noon!” It was at this point where I should have given her my card and said something suave like, “But call me any other time.” Of course, I did not do that. I went in to my meeting and she left. I've been kicking myself about it ever since. Well, this morning I remembered that someone called to say that the projector in the room where her class was being held had a lamp warning message. “Hey!” thinks I, “I can go over right before they break for lunch and have a look at that. I can then ask her if she ever found a “Sushi Buddy.” I went back to that building and waited for them to break for lunch. Sh was talking to someone so I figured I'd grab the remote, fix the projector and then ask her about the sushi. We passed and made eye contact as I reached for the remote. Her reaction to me was a tad cold. Oh, and she wasn't as hot as I'd remembered but that isn't all that important, she’s still hot. I start fiddling with the projector and notice out of the corner of my eye, SHE’S LEAVING! Crap crap crapity crap crap! I finish up and head back to this campus. Why oh why didn't I ask about the “Sushi Buddy” before messing with the projector? Crap crap crapity crap crap! Well, I may have one more shot at redemption. This is the last class in that facility and I have to take down the projector. I think I'm going to head back over there and wait for the class to let out and try one more time to get in as her “Sushi Buddy.” Oh, I think she’s married so don't go thinking I'm going to get all “relationshippy” with her. I just want someone to go eat sushi with during the week. [ Yeah, right... - SM ]
