Whew! Helluva coupla weeks. Lotta stuff goin on in Muskville, tell yez. Anyhoo, main thing is got my teenage son living with me full time now, so that’s cool. My new job (which I love) just made me full time and gave me more $ (hell a’yuh!).

But...doggone if there ain’t a certain strawberry blonde on day shift whom I can’t get outta my mind, damn it. We’ve caught each other’s eye, it seems (she started it, btw). I’ve tried ignoring it...or her...or whatever’s happening between us. Nothing serious has been said or done yet, but I’ve been getting such a strong vibe; a man just knows when a woman is interested, ye understand. Last thing I was looking for (or thought I needed/wanted), but damn it all, I haven’t felt these kinda things in years. Seriously...years. All giddy and gooey and hot in the guts, like a fool schoolboy...jeeze, I’m blushing just writing this. Me, frickin Muskrat, blushing!?! Weird.

And I thought I’d successfully jettisoned such ‘human’ emotions long, long ago. Embarrassing is what it is. I’m ashamed of myself. Blech, I’m so lame!

If she wasn’t so damned cute...

Last thing I need, I’m tellin ya.

Sounds great, just make sure of the feelings before you potentially ruin a good work relationship! But then go for it!

See there, s’what I’m kinda talkin about. Or, to flip-flop what you said, a possible bad relationship could (and probably would) ruin a damn good job. As ol Tony Soprano used to say, I don’t $#!* where I eat. Been down that road a time or two, ain’t in no hurry to try such foolishness again. Hell, even if the relationship doesn’t go south, working a factory job with yer significant other usually makes you sick of each other. It’s just bad business all the way around—unprofessional—and should be avoided.

And cats all tell me aw, Muskie, yer thinkin about it too much. Well, you’re damn right I am. Somebody has too. I’m getting too old fer blind leaps into who-knows-whatwherewhywhoa. Not where my paycheck is concerned. Got mouths to feed, bills to pay, comics to bag-n-board (shaddup, GNTL). Don’t need any high school drama, nawp nawp.

But damn...those eyes...my guts are operating on some primal, instinctual level that ain’t got nuthin to do with my brains. Gotta use old zen koan tricks to ignore this sorcery. Crom, grant me strength...

I met my wife in work, so it can be a success! We do work in a place with over 2000 staff though so I don't see her during the day. Sure see how it goes! How could she resist!?

'Strawberry Blonde' is just another way of saying 'Redhead.' Being of Irish decent I have a number of Redheads in the family. I can tell you from experience... They’re the worst!
