Hello all, been a while, been busy. IM jumping back in with a quickie report. Was off to the first meeting on a big project with a big new client, first time meeting the team in person. Have to re-up my arsenal, as I had only a314, IHx4, and TUTHx2 in the cupboard. I went with 5 drops of a314 and 3 sprays of IHx4 to get that “IM the man, but we can really bond” vibe going for both them and me. Meeting was a totally vibey awesome respectful thing…I was totally “on” and all in the room were both at ease and deferential. Too bad the mones couldnt fly through the camera to the folks video conferenced in! One of my best first meetings.
Anyway, I was off to the mall to grab a thing or 2, was hanging in front of a dept store chatting on the phone, pacing a little bit as I do. A very cute 32-ish Hawaiian/philipino/chinese girl walked in and almost bumped me, accidently Im sure, but then did a BIG double-take, with a smile and a “who is that” kind of look. Then then hopped right behind the perfume/lotion counter right in front of the store and proceeds to stare, make fun of, admonish, and otherwise flirt while Im still on the phone. I get off, and go talk to her. She rails me for setting up an office in her store, but then thinks my job is “hot”. We trade barbs/flirts, I get another biz call and go back to my “office”, the flirting continues. I go back and ask her for a lunch recommendation in the area as Im meeting a friend. She says the restaurant in the store is tops, she eats there all the time, and that I should go to lunch with her there right now. (!!!) I say are you asking me out? She says “mayyybe”. I say can you bring a friend? She says no. So i say, maybe another day when I dont have plans with my pal. She says wait and dumps a few handfuls of men’s face cleanser/face lotion samples in a bag and says let me know how these work for you.
Hit, I think.
Then there’s lunch with my pal (who is a solid player) and were both flirting up a storm with the waitress, the bartender, and the hostess, resulting in several free drinks and a phone number for my pal. (IM really spoken for, but flirting is just too fun).
Moral of the story, if you get all moned up for one short occasion, why not put it to use elsewhere?
. That’s a lot of A314 even for a 70 year old man like Sean Connery
