So, yesterday started as a normal day at work..... (but busy!).
Morning: CEO world CEO called me into a meeting with him and a guy we work with. He then proceeded to make a lot of eye contact during it. I charmed the other guy, and CEO seemed really happy about that. It was good fun.
Morning: H world H sent me an e-mail mid-morning to ask if I was going to the networking event in the evening, and say that he was looking forward to hearing my office gossip and football news from Friday.
Afternoon: CEO world We have a team meeting. CEO spends a lot of it looking at me and smiling.
Afternoon: H world I reply to H's e-mail with a short message saying I'm busy but I was planning to go to the networking event in the evening.
Late afternoon: CEO world CEO initiates a conversation with me about whether an acquaintance of ours would be a good catch for me ---------- CEO: you could do worse Me: I could do better CEO: But you could do worse. He's big, your Dad would like him (CEO has never met my Dad!) Me: Well, I could do better, and he's not my type anyway. --------- Then we end up in the kitchen together making tea. CEO initiates a conversation about how it's a good thing he didn't buy me a gas burning hob even though I said I needed one to cook flatbreads (this was because I'd said I can't cook flatbreads). In fact the original flatbread conversation was about 3 months ago. I can't believe he remembered that and has been thinking about it ?!?
CEO then asked where I was watching to football later in the evening, and was I going out with the others to their business event. I said I wasn't, so he spent a bit of time convincing me to go and said I was being coy when I said I'd just go for the football later. He then told the others off for not inviting me to the thing they were going to, but in the end we agreed that I'd meet the rest of them to watch the football later after my event. It was going to be all of the office, jusy FYI for later.
Late afternoon: H world H replies to my e-mail of earlier saying that we can meet before the networking event if I want to, but that we might miss the first half of the football. He assumed I would watch it with him, which maybe I would have if he'd asked me, but he hadn't. I was a bit annoyed about that, and told him I wasn't going to stay out for the football as I had other plans.
