New Friends at Work

How's everyone doing? I've had a good week!! Wednesday night i went out after work with some coworkers... and made a new friend... The old me, when i met a single attractive woman, I felt threatened. I thought to myself "she's going to steal my friends" or "get all the attention". I'm happy to say that today instead of those thoughts, i had these thoughts "yay, another Wing Woman" or "cool someone to check out guys with..." In fact, I'm going to the birthday party for another coworker tonight and the new girl will probably come with me.

And here's something else that's funny... Anyone remember the New Year's Resolution party i went to in January?.. it was a coworker party but it was kinda wild... And remember i danced on the countertop... totally crazy.. Well, my coworkers are still talking about it! The new girl.. i'll nickname her Zoey (like the puppet from SesameStreet)... It was her first day on Wednesday and she already heard the story... I guess because i'm kinda quiet at work, but get pretty wild at parties.. So someone made a statement about my quietness and the people from the party say.. NO way, she's NOT quiet.. Funny. Zoey said she'll dance on the tables with me next time. Cool!

Lots of coworker parties coming up.. the birthday party tonight.... and a halloween party, too. The good news about the party tonight is that it's someplace new! Yay!!! I'll let you know how it goes and compares to my usual spot.

Also, here's an update on the other New Hire. There probably won't be anything "romantic" since we work too closely together BUT he is becoming a great friend. We work side by side, tell jokes, share stories... He's already asked me dating advice...lol... So, it's good to have a new friend at work (a couple new friends).... I love the people i work with.. (as opposed to the last boss that i complained about from time to time. I'm soooo glad he's gone.) We have fun at work again!!!

Here's another story... my two coworker were drinking Red Bull and getting kinda silly/hyper.. i said, i want to try some Red Bull... The New Hire said, Oh no!!! You'd be bouncing off the walls, we could sell tickets.."loonybunny is dancing on the tables again". LOL...

OH yes we all remember your New Year party where you danced on the table!! How funny that you are usually quiet - I remember a saying that it is always the quiet types you have to watch out for.

Boy, it sure sounds like you had a great week and you have a lot of possibilities coming up for good social networking, good buddies and good times to come. That is lucky you enjoy your coworkers and new boss so much.

And lucky for us because we get more stories!!
