Yesterday was my first full day back at work since Thanksgiving. Obviously in two months you would expect a few changes, new hairstyles, maybe a new picture on the wall or something. Well that didn't exactly happen, in fact everyone was wearing pretty much the same thing when I left. Though you couldn't honestly tell because they all hide inside their coats since October. Anywho on to my husband...
There were an extraordinary amount of new people coming and going from the office yesterday morning so I inquired of my counterpart just who exactly these new individuals were. I should have known better. The following exchange was all in Romanian my thoughts in parenthesis:
-They are working with our engineer on a road. Are you interested in any of them? That man there talking to the boss he is unattached.
(uh oh.)
-He has a good job with the Forest Service.
(and now the traits will be listed off...in order of importance)
-He comes from a good family, has a big car...a Jeep!, he is young and attractive
(...aaand wait for it...)
-Would you like us to introduce you? He knows a little English. Are you interested?
--No thank you, I'm not interested in anyone these days.
-But Alizabet we want you to get married and be happy and that way you will stay here forever.
-(:gulp:)
and then they proceed to discuss his multiple traits that would indicate a good match and they didn't understand why I was uninterested in him.
-(...and now they will ask what happened to Chris..)
-Alizabet you had a boyfriend when you came here, why don't you see him anymore. When did you stop dating, why did he never come to the office to meet us? You need to be with someone its not good to be by yourself. A man will make you happy.
--I need to go have a cigarette. (no I did not take up smoking but it's the only acceptable excuse to leave in any situation.)
So yes. I'll send you all e-vites book your tickets now because if they have their way, I'll be engaged by Friday.
