Another time, a different outcome
Six months ago I was at work and came across a guy who intrigued me. He was nerdy but in a classy kind of way. You take one look at James and think to yourself 'Man, that guy belongs behind a computer'. Not that that's a bad thing. It just means that I most definitely have a 'type'. Which I'm okay with.
Anyway. Six months ago he comes into the store, talks to me for half an hour, thoroughly impresses me and then leaves. At the end of the day I was thinking about the conversation we'd had but realized that I didn't know anything about it. I didn't know what his name was nor did I have any idea how to get a hold of him. I also realized that I kinda liked him in that 'I want to get to know you better' way. So I was stuck, thought to myself 'well that sucked' and went back to whatever had held my interest prior to the detour. I'd all but forgotten about him until today when we walked in the door of work this afternoon.
I looked at him with the 'you look really familiar' look and he knew me and was surprised I remembered him. We talked on and off for about an hour before James came in and I was called away to solve problems. I came back and James was actually talking to him (big surprise there) and kept talking to him until about 5:30. It turns out Ryan wants a job with us so I took his resume and I'll pass it on.
It's funny. Six months ago it wouldn't have taken a lot to convince me to drop James as my centre of interest and the one person I spent all my time with and think about spending time with someone else. But now that I'm so entangled in the whole 'James' thing and finally have what I want I'm not even interested in looking for anything else but can actually spend time getting to know other people.
