up the river

i think i got sold up the river today.

yesterday, our accountant, whose office i sit outside of, was chatting with me about something or other and managed to ask me how i felt about Crush hanging out around my desk and we ended up talking about how he was so hard to read and blah blah blah. i figured it wouldn't make a difference if one other person other than Sands and BabyMan knew about it.

this afternoon, i was walking down the hall and Sands mouths to me, "call me!" i get back to my desk and phone her and she says, "Scrooge just told me he walked into Crush's office and said, 'i have it on good authority that if you were to ask CG out on a date, she'd say yes.'" i burst out laughing.

about an hour later, BabyMan phones me and says, "are you holding out on me?" i immediately hung up the phone, marched into his office and closed the door. we spent five minutes going back and forth saying, "you tell me what you know and i'll tell you what i know." we determined we knew the same thing. the only thing he's holding out on is what Crush's response was. although, he was awfully smiley so it was probably favourable. granted, why would Crush tell Scrooge what his plans were?

and now, i feel really bad. i mean, i didn't ask to be fodder but i can take the teasing. Crush, however, he didn't ask for this. okay, well, he does hang out at my desk an awful lot but he doesn't deserve actual advice.

don't get me wrong - i'm not embarrassed about it. i was going to lay all the cards out on the table, remember? someone else just stole my deck and laid them out for me, that's all.

i guess we'll see what happens.
