quick journal/post about something today, and yes, I am smirking and enjoying the moment. truely ironic. We had an inservice today that I had to set up and H attended. I thought H left for home immediately. I brought over some av equip, and was talking to the account in the hall outside H's closed office door. went in the accountants office, when I came out, H came out of his office and said "hi, thought I heard your voice" and I stopped in his office and chatted for a few minutes. his email was even up, and yes i have to admit I glanced and saw nothing from monster, which he could have deleted, but anyway.
Then H said he was going to check mail, and asked "do you want to walk down the hall with me"...actually invited me, interesting. So, we walk through the hall talking to the mail room, go in the mail room, and guess who's there????? well of course, monster, at the copying machine. She instantly disappears. Sooooooo, we leave the mail room, I'm getting ready to come to my office and H to leave, and I lean on one side of the door frame, and he's stopped on the other...I did slip and mutter "geez, the monster" under my breath, and H said "yeah, I know" but then I change the subject and ask him what sounds good for lunch...and then the account comes out of the mail room and says somewhat loudly "hey you two, no PDA's here!" (he's known for less than appropriate comments)...to which H smiles and says "I know, that's what I'm trying to keep from happening" (could be taken several ways, but I took it as kind of positive that he could joke, however I was NOT doing anything but talking about lunch)....I said "Oh you party pooper" and kissed my finger, touched his cheek, said "see you later" and turned and left. I got about 3 steps down the hall, and who comes around the corner? monster. she must have heard it.
I just think it's "something" that H would even walk down the hall and lean against the wall talking to me, especially considering the bad old days when he didnt even want to recognize my existence. having monster see us together and overhear the joking kinda frosted the cake.
I got to my office, just sat down and turned on the computer, and H is at my door with my purse. I sat it down and forgot it in his office. Thanked him immensely for bringing it up....he said "no problem"....he had to make a special trip up 2 flights of stairs and down several long halls to bring it to me. He COULD have just sent me an email that it was in his office and left it in a drawer for me to get myself, and berated me for my forgetfulness. He didnt.
oh yeah, earlier in the staff training, the TV quit, so I had to go to this other building and get another one. Another guy nicely volunteered to assist, and H did as well! the three of us managed to move it to the other building in short time. There was a day when H wouldnt have even acted like he noticed. he did take off like a shot afterwards, though, that's why I didnt know he was in his office.....
