I am sure tired of having to clean up after other people. This girl that I work with, her name is, I don't want to say names of people, we will call her Messy. She doesn’t know that when you have an item returned, all you have to do is to scan it with the inventory gun, hang it, then help the next customer. She really was never trained correctly. But you just don’t throw all of the returned items into a pile on the counter. If you let the items just stack up then you have a bunch of work to do latter. My favorite part is that she never cleans up after herself. And I have to clean up that huge pile before I can go home at the end of the night. It takes hours.

The worst part of this whole story is that I think that she likes me. She is way fine. But she has a kid. I don’t think that at this point in my life I could handle that. I am not saying that I don’t like kids, but right now I couldn’t handle it.

I have dated girls that I work with before. That is such a bad idea. Your whole relationship becomes about work. I dated this girl that I worked with at the Taco Bell. We worked together for about two weeks, then we started hanging out, and before long we were a couple. It made work kind of difficult but I loved her and wanted to get along. Then she got promoted to a manager, (Same level as me) and all she did was criticize my actions as a manager. She thought that she was the greatest manager in all of history. But this was her first job where she supervised others. I had been supervising others for years and in the same field, restaurant management. I know how to motivate the teenagers, and how to keep the adults happy. She just wanted to make me look stupid. I felt like she was my own, personal saboteur.

Now I have a pretty girl that I work with I could ask out, but I don’t want all of that to happen again. I don’t know what would be the best thing to do. I think that I will play it off like I can’t pick up on her signs. I will play dumb. I don’t want to, but should I risk my job (A job that I like very much) for a girl?

There is this other cool girl, Danny. She is a little younger than me. But she keeps asking me for advice on how to handle this other guy that used to work at Kohl’s with us. They went out a few times and he played her while she was falling for him, bad. She says that she likes that I work there, and that I always cheer her up when she is having a bad day.

She is eighteen and I have never dated anyone that is younger than me by that much. But I am still unsure to whether she is interested in me or not. I don’t think that she does. She asked me to see if I could try and find his phone number. She lost his number when she lost her phone. I even said that I would go to the store where he works to see if he would give me his number, for her. I won’t tell him that last part. I don‘t know what went wrong with their relationship. I just want my friend to be happy.

But I don’t think that I will ask her out. I am just too afraid that it will ruin my relationship with her, which would just make things worse for her. Plus I don’t want to be her rebound guy. I think that I would rather just have her as a friend. Sometimes friendship can be just as rewarding as intimacy, sometimes more.

There are girls all over the place that seem to like me. At the IHOP, there is a waitress that I think likes me. But she is dating someone that I don’t really like. I don’t want them to break up on my account, but she has told me that she want to break up with him. How do I make this decision? Girl that I think that I might like, who is dating someone that is a jerk, on one hand; and on the other I don’t want to meddle in the affairs of others. That is their business.

Sigh.

The biggest problem of all is that I am not as interested in these girls as I am interested in another girl who works at Kohl’s with me. Her name is Angela (Just an alias). She and I have a lot of the same interests. And I think that I am starting to like her. But she doesn’t seem to notice, or lead on that she notices, my interest in her.

She talks to me all of the time. She tells me about her real life problems. And about the problems she has at work (those I can relate to). I show genuine interest in her and make moves and she never seems to pick up on them. I just want to see if she returns my feelings. But she never notices.

Stupid love.
