Tomorrow is going to be a long day at work.
It must be crazy with the upgrade coming up.
No, in my team we’ll actually be busier after the upgrade. I suppose everyone will be.
So why will it be a long day?
Nerves. I’m supposed to have one of those things…you know…where you go out with someone.
A date?
Is that what it’s called?
I think so.
I’ll Google it later.
Where are you going on this thing that might be a date?
That is where the nerves come into play.
It’ll be fine. It’s just a few hours.
Right. If it happens.
I don’t think I have ever met someone so worried about being stood up before.
It’s a legitimate concern, and it happens a lot.
Things come up for people–stop looking at me like that, it’s true.
Yes. Things come up. And we have these things we carry around with us. They are used to communicate. We can talk to each other with them or send messages.
That is true.
It’s being stood up I object to. Not someone calling to tell me they need to reschedule.
Has this guy done that before?
No. I haven’t actually met him yet.
Don’t you think you should give him the benefit of the doubt? He probably won’t stand you up.
No, but he hasn’t confirmed the time and place either.
That is a bit of a concern. Maybe you should check with him. And you’re giving me that look again. Why?
Because I tried that. No reply. So there’s a bit of concern.
Don’t let it get to you.
Oh, I’m not. I’ll just be irritated if I brush my hair for nothing.
The people at work will appreciate it.
The people at work will be too busy noticing my workplace inappropriate cleavage to pay any attention to the hair.
Is cleavage appropriate on a first date?
Cleavage is always appropriate.
Well, it’s appreciated by the men you work with I’m sure.
It’s a good thing something is!
