Ok Rachel, here is something you should try at work (assuming you have a coke machine). Let me know if it works, b/c at my rate of a 2-liter a day, this could save some money. Coke Machine Hack

No machine at work. They keep coke's in the fridge and you're "on your honor" to pay for it. There's an envelope on the side of the fridge.

I went back and edited John's post a little bit, adding the hyperlinks and the bracketed comments for clarity.

are you at work right now? oh yeah sanfran.. i was about to be like "why in this thread" but ok i'll fix dat
ok try again
Thanks!
sniff sniff. i miss meetings at harris. some of my best naps.
I'm not sure which thread to put this in, but I had to vent a little. :( For some reason unbeknownst to me, Jessica only wants to be "professional" friends now. Everything was fine on Tuesday, I walked her home, we chilled in the lounge, she even made me tea because I was feeling sick. Then I gave her some attitude at work about a task that took over for me, but then reassigned back to me. I apologized later, but she was moody for the rest of the day. I asked her what was wrong, but she just kept saying it was stupid and that she wouldn't talk about it. Then on Thursday I asked her about it again, and she said nothing is wrong and to stop asking about it. I asked her why she was being so curt with me, and she said she wasn't goofing around with me, but she didn't mean to be rude. She said she wants to be professional friends only, and it's hard to make that transition...
< vent>
She never talked to me about this..Of course I'm going to ask what's wrong if we're good friends one day, and then professional friends the next! ::sigh:: I just feel like I mean absolutely nothing to her: like a new shirt that got a stain on it, donated to the salvation army--only to be purchased by 409'er and worn to a sleazy club! w00t? Work is going to be so stressful now. I used to look forward to coming to DC, and now I think I'm just going to dread it. :(
< /vent>
Who knows though, maybe we'll just transition to this happy balance of friendship where I can break free of her cursed spell. ::sigh::

Girls are just crazy.
As dudes, we're task-oriented and think if there's a relational problem, we just have to figure out what it is, then we can figure out how to fix it. Womens are, I dunno, shoe-oriented and don't necessarily want to fix relational problems directly. I wouldn't sweat it too much. Play it cool for a while and let her see you being normal, rather than seeing you in the context of being interested in her. Maybe that will change things up.
Thanks for tuning in for this week's Wadafuxup wit wimmins, with Drew the singlest 409er evar. Next week: tips on how to avoid buying Valentine's Day crap.

:( I wish i understood girls to explain us to you. Sadly, i don't think i understand myself. But if you ever need me to do some asskicking for you, just say the word, and i'll take care of it. even if i have to fly to DC for it.
p.s. if you were a new shirt and i got a stain on you, i'd totally take you to the dry cleaners and get it taken off.

Drew, good advice, but I will have to say that I win as far as singlest 409er goes. I can't wait for the next week's column of wadafuxup wit wimmins.
Arif if you were a shirt, I'd be the stain.
you are the stain, and i, i am the cure.

GAH! amusing and entertaining for me, but sucksores for you.
