Just In Cases

That is my favorite line from the movie, "Love Actually". I say it all the time.

I haven't seen Great Conversation Boy since the great conversation. WTF?
Monday, I worked only half the day in office. Tuesday, I sat all day at my desk and he never passed by. Wednesday, I decided to do something about bad luck Tuesday. I acted like I didn't know what a phone or email was. Obviously, I'll explain.

On any given day, I must send out, on average, 30 emails to various co-workers and I must take or make 50 inter-office phone calls. I also send out 2-4 pieces of inter-office mail and at least 2 outgoing mail. The mail room guy picks that stuff up from my office outbox.
None of that happened yesterday. Yesterday I found myself doing the unspeakable: I got up from my desk chair!
OH-NO, she didn't!

Yes. I actually got on my feet and walked down (by way of elevator) to the appropriate person's desk or office. Any small inquiry and I was on my feet, roaming the office halls.
I did the mailroom guy a huge favor and walked all my mail to him--surely, now he must think I have a crush on him (great).

I don't think I once picked up the phone or wrote an email to anyone in the office. It was all about face to face interaction. My smiling face made all sorts of appearances yesterday. I roamed the halls, hung out at people's desks, and waited for elevators.
You know, just in cases.

The one thing that I goofed on is that instead of taking a right turn, towards the free company hamburger lunch; my stubborn stomach took a left to Quizno's for a salad (and they didn't give me a real fork this time. Why, oh why, did I do that? If I was going to see Great Conversation Boy anywhere that day, it was surely at the free company lunch. But, oh no, dumb Golightly decided that she just couldn't do the hamburger and opted for the healthier paid salad.
Dumb. Dumb. Dumb.

Today, maybe I'll step it up a bit and only use the restroom on his floor.
