So, I developed (somewhat cultivated for entertainment value) a crush on one of my co-workers. Sounds adorable, right? Well it gets even cuter:
They are not fluent in English so our interactions rely less on verbal linguistics. They know some words but a great deal of the time it's like playing charades.
I know it may seem silly but hey, it's listen:
I feel that we express volumes with our body language.
For one day I worked in utility. It sucked. I wanted to cry and tell my boss I wasn't feeling well and leave. The reason I felt so awful was because I felt uncomfortably anxious. I was being instructed by guys who don't speak much English. I forced myself to stick it out and detach from the sh*ttiness of the situation. While I was putting dishes through the washer, I thought about the concept of hooking up with someone who wasn't fluent in your language and vise versa. I felt very amused and so I focused on the thought. It was the seed that encouraged the aforementioned crush.
At first I thought, "well, yeah that'd be hot but not with any of my co-workers". But then my feelings changed.
The next day while I was upstairs serving, he walked by and smiled at me. I reciprocated. Through out the stretch of serving loads of messy f*ckers, he'd walk through the cafeteria to the cart of dirty dishes down stairs to be washed, and pretty each time we'd exchange smiles. It cheered me up and I thought, "hey, I must have established a camaraderie with this guy. That's cool. I guess he wasn't annoyed by my my struggle of understanding what he was trying to communicate in the kitchen."
Then later on we walked by each other and not only did he smile but he winked.
Yeah,
Hmmm.
No one probably cares but uhh, yeah. I like "forbidden" relationships.
This makes work much more entertaining.
Peace out.
