Eye Candy or lack thereof

"Life isn't weird: it's just the people in it."

This is not a work related post.

This is a frivolous post in response to yours truly's friends who have been asking about eye candy(ies) or lack thereof.

Yours truly is sad to report that as of now, there has been no eye candy to ogle at work.

And for those of yours truly's friends who are overly nosey about yours truly's social life or more specifically, about potential possibilities at work. Unfortunately, the answer is still negative.

Yours truly have met several nice earnest chaps but that's about it. Quite mild and bland guys. And knowing yours truly, can you imagine moi with mild and bland guy? *cringe* But yours truly have also met several interesting attractive girls. Alas, yours truly's orientation is unfortunately within social convention.

But if you are interested, yours truly can relate an amusing anecdote from a seminar yours truly attended yesterday.

Skip this entirely if you don't happen to be one of yours truly's nosey friends.

Yours truly met someone from a particular ministry. As we were exchanging name cards, he informed yours truly that he is expecting major changes in a few months and will keep yours truly informed.

??!! (yours truly's immediate train of thought)

Er…why keep me informed? Yours truly's colleague threw me an equally bewildered look.

And so yours truly asked why keep us informed unless….*pause* unless logically, you are going to be seconded to my organization?

Said guy nods and gives more details.

(pause for your reaction)

Disappointed, aren't you? *roll eyes*

Yes, nothing more interesting or scandalous to relate. *grin*

He was probably just trying to get to know a few people from yours truly's organization before he gets seconded over.

But in any case, yours truly and colleague had a moment of mental connection in bewilderment. *grin*

Another irrelevant fact from yesterday:

Two acquaintances separately complimented yours truly on looking "hot". Both were of the female gender in case you are wondering, as I am sure you were. Yours truly is flattered by the compliment, but puzzled too.

Hot does not connotes official work attire to moi. Yours truly certainly won't classify myself as being remotely on the "sexy" index. Stylish, maybe. Groomed, hopefully. But hot? *pause in puzzlement*

And before you ask, yours truly was dressed in a black wool long sleeved turtleneck with a knee-length black pencil skirt and white belt with strappy stilettos. (Oh yah, I was wearing a nice striking necklace that *eccentric gave me). What's hot about that? Or have I lost touch with the current conception of hot? *arched my brows*

In any case, it is always nice to receive compliments. *shrug*
