    I received an email saying I'd been unsuccessful for a job from a recruitment agency. I rang them earlier to query it but turns out it was an automatically generated email and that there are still no vacancies at present. They reckon that I'm not suitable to the role that I applied for and did an interview for. Now my annoyance is they've presumed that I'm more suited to admin. I have no admin experience but I 'worked' in an office for 5 months. They did ask in the interview about my admin experience from that job. I more or less glossed over the question and just said I did some data entry and report writing. I really don't think I gave the impression that I had buckets of experience but they've presumed that I'd better off with admin. If I got offered an admin job I'd be totally out of my depth. The only administrating I did with that job was administrating food into my stomach ha. :pac:

    I was sharing the joy earlier (an excess of treats so shared them around the office). Crush was not there so left one on her desk. Now I'm after realizing that each treat has a tacky message on it, kind of like the old Love Hearts. I'm flicking through what's left now cringing reading all the messages and wondering wtf is on hers. Agonisingly annoying.

    Why don't you just ask her out? :p

    I don't think she bats for my team. Then again, I didn't think I batted for my team until I met her. Plus she is married.

    I can sort of relate a little. I was crazy about a friend of mine. He was single but I knew he had no interest in me as anything more than just a friend. So I would be excited to see him but also disappointed because nothing was ever going to happen.

    We can joke I know but it is kind of horrible. Maybe you will meet someone wonderful who will make this lady pale in comparison :)

    Its mad isn't it. I still find myself making an effort to look better and say and do the right thing even though it doesn't make a difference. I could be the most beautiful woman in the world (I'm not :D) and it wouldn't make a difference to her because she just doesn't play that way. Yet, I still try. Baffling feature of the human condition, that we never lose hope....even when we must.

    I have to be careful here...but how do you know for sure that she isn't interested? I know he is married, but she is not dead. I always thought women would tend to be more "curious" than men. i don't mean this to be specific to you, Just in general.

    What Mr. E. is trying to say, ONW, is that according to the Largely Unwritten Bloke's Rules, it's not really "cheating" per sé when it's two fit birds going at it, knowwarramean annat innit?? :pac:

    This happened to me 2 weeks ago when out with friends. Sitting there chatting away(it was late)in the pub.
    Girl comes over and plants a HUGE kiss on me out of the blue and simply said "Sorry, I couldn't help myself, wanted to do that since you walked in..." all the while she is being dragged out by her friends :eek:
    We all just sat there speechless. :D

    Just ask her flirtatiously if she would like to file something in your cabinet.

    If she agrees then way hay!

    If she slaps you then look at her shocked and ask what on earth she thought you meant (while showing her the keys to your office file)

    I'm not sure I'd advise that particular girls actions tbf, especially not in work;)
    It could have went either way as well(she had a good few drinks on her, I hadn't as I'm not a big drinker). I just laughed it off(I'm easy going about practically everything). That was just lucky for her though. Someone else might not have taken it as well(could have taken offence etc) :)

    It really didnt bother me at all(if I'd have been a bloke and single I'd have been well chuffed as she was a cracker :D).
    Still though...took guts on her behalf:)

    When somebody dies and for weeks after every TV program seems to deal with exactly the same situation, it could be the most bizarre highly unique circumstances where someone has died, and you'll find yourself stuck 40 minutes into a program describing it over and over again.

    Detective programs have to be off limits then for a while, but you could find yourself miraculously watching the only episode of barney the dinosaur which features death, and someone has died the exact same way.

    My son was with me one day in the car, and we passed a particularly attractive young lady (to me) about thirtyish, with a delightful derrière and the best pair of legs I'd seen in a while. I said to him "Jesus, take a look at her!"
    He retorts with "Da, you're a bit old for that, AND you are married"
    I said "yes I'm married but I'm not fcuking dead"::)

    And don't tell your mother

    Well there's nothing wrong with having a crush on someone who is married but she may be happily married.

    She most likely is. I am just curious to know if "crush" would be curious;).

    If someone in the office was to let me know they had the hots for me, I would be very flattered, it doesn't mean I am going to elope with them. It might make the work situation a tad awkward though.:)

    I dont think anyone would ever be offended(even if married/have a partner etc) if they found out someone had a crush on them(as long as it didnt cross into stalker territory :D)
    Would always be nice to know you still "have it" :)

    TA by the weather atm.
    Raining...glorious....raining....glorious
    Make up your mind weather, I'm either roasted or frozen :o
