2004-03-04 - 2:20 p.m. Share and Share Alike. So one of the roommates has a new job. And there are three reasons why she is happy that she has a new job. The first is money. The second is she is busy all the time which is the only way she stays sane. The third thing is boys. See this roommate hasn�t had much luck with boys since college, and this is mostly because she has this thing where she can only date boys that she is working with on a project or at work.
Now she must also start dating them before she is friends with them. Being friends with her is kiss of death, because she will treat you like a boyfriend, people will think you are dating, she will make fun of you and nag you, but in no way will you two have sex. So her keys to dating are to totally crush on a guy until she can get the guts up to make a move. If she becomes friends with him before she makes a move, the boyfriend potential is shot. And she has a crush of EVERY BOY! It�s like a 20 to 1 ratio at work for her and she is totally crushing on like 25 guys. I actually saw her roll on her back kick her feet up in the air, and scream in a girly voice �yea! I am going to go to a bar with a cute boy!� because she is going out tonight. Now this may all seem good, but Gumphood plays the cynic. See she is going to date a co-worker, and I feel this is a big mistake. Here is why: 1) Dating a co-worker is tricky if you are going for a career at the job, particularly if you are the woman. You are usually given less respect by other employees when they thing you rise through the ranks via nepotism. 2) Roommate has �combative� relationships where she gets very loud and very confrontational to her partners from what she says. She loves to argue with them and take them down notches. She would do this at work and that would be bad. 3) I know that she WOULD do this at work because she has already committed cardinal sins. The first is she showed a co-worker her diary; where she talks about her co-workers 4) Second (and these numbers are just representing paragraphs at this point) is she let it leak out that she has a crush on every guy at the company. 5) Third is she told Ready�s best friend all about how we felt about him and the house, and I am expecting by the end of the day to day to show him the knee high PI photos. She has managed to do all this in two weeks of work. So I decided to do up a little comic strip detailing the antics of roommate as she gets a new job at a janitor. I just wanted to highlight how her working experience goes. And then I want YOU to guess the REAL name of the roommate I am writing about. I love it | |||||||||||
