Casual or no?

Now, I'm not at all used to having someone near me who can hear me talk, but I'm pretty sure she can. I mumble to myself, especially on the days when I'm less than happy.

Two days ago, I think it was, she asked if work was getting better -- as in slowing down. I was confused by this.. I am slow.

She thought I was all stressed out, which is why I know (think) she can hear my mumble.

Color me kinda embarrassed.

Anyway.. yesterday I boxed up all my stuff and today they took it away... so I worked from home today.

As per my devious little plan, I dislike my monitor. It's a piece of shit and well, I don't much care about that since I don't anything worth needing a "great" monitor.. but it blacks out randomly a couple times a month. Super annoying to have jiggle cables and then log off and log back on to get the monitor to pick up the signal and display again.

So... I 'accidentally' didn't label it.

Yes, I'm a bad person. I am ok with this.

So, today.. this gal who I've had a handful of casual conversations with sends a message over our handy dandy chat work chat program.

Now... to give a little more background, I'm of the opinion that she likes me. While it's flattering, it's confusing and I'm thinking shes just friendly.

Anyway, she intros the chat with a 'hi' and 'I'm not stalking you' -- did I mention she's young? Like early 20's? No, because that's not relevant.

Anyway.. she looked me up to tell me they didn't take my monitor and wanted to know what I wanted to do. You can picture me frowning and mumbling at the screen. In the end, I tell her it's not worth the hassle to try and get it moved.. I'll just work off my laptop as some folks do.

You can bet I'll find an admin to order me a new on by Tuesday.

Now... I'm torn, honestly torn, if she's just an overly friendly person and saw, as it's plain as day since the monitor is still there, that something of mine was left.. so she looked me up or if she used it as something of an excuse to message me.

I suppose I'll find out Monday or Tuesday.. see if I get another message from her.

In other news, while I'm wondering of Loca was actaully.. spade by the vet. She's been walking around back kinda arched and meowing. It could well be she's just bored or wants to go outside or any of dozen other things, I know... but she was doing the same thing about a week ago....

I know it hasn't been too long.. but still.. why do you just stand there? Say nice things to me.
