Not only did he get me sick, he didn’t come to work today.

So with this blog nearing it’s anniversary it seems only appropriate that I explain yet another failed attempt at a relationship.

Yes, the inevitable snub happened sometime late this afternoon. He told me that what happened on Saturday was fun, yet a drunken mistake that all of his friends have told him should not happen again as long as he and I are working together. It’s the right thing to do and I agree with him.

What I don’t agree with is the excuse: alcohol. There is only so much (in my opinion) false sense of right and wrong that alcohol will give you. I mean, the emotions have to be there, alcohol just gives you that last push right? But he stands by it. When I called him on that, all he said was that he had to be drunk to hook up with a coworker. Ouch! But what he also implied was that he would not have to be drunk to hook up with me if I weren’t his coworker. Basically, when he or I get another job, we can shag like bunnies. But until that time comes, it’s hands off buddy!

So I guess I feel better. I know that he still wants me. And it really is the best decision not to try to date behind everyone’s back. I hope he and I can still remain the flirty friends we’ve always been so that one day (okay THE day) one of us leaves we will hop into bed. As I told him, until that day comes, I guess there’s always Jdate.
