...Think, Think, Think...

Moving Up (a bit...)

I got promoted this week!

I've never been promoted before, so its pretty exciting.  I'm actually not going to be doing much different day to day than I do at the moment, except now I actually have the authority to do some of the things that I've wanted to do for a while.

Its a little bit weird as I've been promoted from within the team and I think some people feel a bit put out by it.  I could be reading into it too much, but only one person out of the 3 others in the team congratulated me and I'm pretty sure that she has no idea how much that meant to me.

So, all I have to do now is not get megalomaniacal about it all and I'm golden.

I realise that sounds easy for most people, but given the overwhelming frequency with which I begin sentences "when I rule the world..." it may be harder than you'd think.

For example..

"When I rule the world, there will be snipers waiting to take out people like that" - In reference to a man just stood at the top of an escalator.  Just stood there.  Not even working out where he was going.  Just standing.  In the way.

"When I rule the world, there will be a weekly reward for the smart people.  They'll be put in a wooded area and given their choice of weapon.  They then have one hour to shoot as many of the strategically placed stupid as they can.  If they get enough, they get through to the bonus level." -  I'm not going to tell you what is in the bonus level, i'm pretty sure you'd abandon my blog if I did.

"When I rule the world, i'll be sending all those idiots down to the minors.  They don't deserve to be playing for the NHL.  That much talent and they waste it.  They should bring up some kids from Norfolk and give them a try.  They couldn't do any worse." -  In reference to the appalling season the Tampa Bay Lightning are having.  I think the system is win 1, lost 20.  Something like that.  All I know is that after the last couple of weeks the can give the playoffs a huge smooch goodbye because they have no chance. Not that I'm extremely angry about it or anything.

Can Anyone Spot the Potential problem with this?

Not immediately?

How about if i say "Can anyone spot the potental problem with this bikini, bearing in mind the bit around your neck and the bit around your back tie up"?

Getting warmer?

How about if you factor in a spa jet that sprays water onto your neck and shoulders and right onto the knot?

Did you know that a jet of water can undo a bow?

Well, from first hand experience I can tell you that it can.  And it did.

And I was this close from showing a 50-something, tattooed, beer-bellied bald guy my tits while I was at the gym today.

This close.

Fortunately I looked down and noticed that there was a string floating where string ought not to be.  The tie had come completely undone and I probably noticed with a couple of seconds to spare before I flashed him.

I don't know what it is about me and my gym, but I keep having humiliating/near-humiliating moments there.

At least I went though...that makes a change.

A trois...

One evening last week, one of my colleagues gave me a ride home. 

This guy and I, we get along pretty well.  We chat about all manner of things and as I'm not a particuarly secretive person and neither is he, the topics of conversation seem to go far and wide.

That evening though, they went further and wider than I'd expected.

We were chatting outside my house about all sorts of things and we ended up talking about sex...just in a general round about sort of way.

He told me he once had a fuck-budy who looked just like me, which is a little unusual.  Not that he had a fuck-buddy, or that she looked like me, but that he *told* me.  There's a compliment in there somewhere, in spite of the slightly unusual delivery.

He then told me that he and his other half are giving serious thought to having a threesome.

You know how sometimes you feel like you're being sized up for something?  Like someone is telling you something to test the water and see your reaction?   I felt like that.

Maybe I'm flattering myself and it was just chit chat.  Maybe its just that we'd reached the point in our relationship that he felt comfortable enough to mention it. 

I'm not entirely sure, I just know that I got out of that car feeling decidedly like I'd been tested.

As a concept, I'm not adverse to the idea.  I think it could be fun.  But thats as a concept and not with a long-standing couple.  I think it would need to be a casual thing, otherwise there's feelings and all that crap to contend with.  The jealousy.  The feeling left out.  The "you like her better than me" etc.

It'd just be too messy.

Does anyone have any input on this one?  Even if you want to tell me that I'm being egomaniacal and that he was probably just chatting.  I'm always curious to see how far off the mark I was, or whether you all read it the same way?
