lunch

after watching aw walk around my office all week, i crack and ask him to lunch. at about 11:30 i send him a blank e-mail with the subject: lunch? he sends back: sure. what time and where?

i tell him that i want to walk to pret, which is true. (i figure that i do not want to make the lunch date-like, i merely just want an opportunity to have a decent and private conversation.) he doesn't reply, although admittedly he is busy and not at his desk much. (he quite likes to flit around the office and be outrageous. it's part of his charm.)

at just after 13:00 i send him another e-mail that says: i am going to lunch in five minutes. you can either come or not. i then get caught up doing some stuff for stupid girl. (seriously, today she asked me how to move text from one cell to another in excel. errr... have you heard of cut and paste??) so it is at least 15 minutes before he happens to be near my desk and i announce loudly that i am going to lunch. he tells me to wait.

he collects me five minutes later and we walk out of the office:

him: so where do you want to go?
me: pret
him: i don't go to pret
me: errr... okay *pause* well.... bye then

i turn off to go to pret, and aw keeps walking. i guess there wasn't really much to have a decent and private conversation about.
