Guess I’m part of gossip at the office now, LOL. Well, it’s more of a hospital than the office, but still...
In a nutshell, I wanted to watch Logan during my stint of having a couple of days off, but unfortunately, my friends were rather occupied with work and/or school. I decided to ask this one person from work over Messenger (we’re not exactly friends as we haven’t really talked much before, but I figured this might be a good way to get to know her more as I thought she was pretty cool). She declined the invitation, stating that she was neutral about the film and movies in general. I assured it that it was okay and giving my thanks in replying to my message.
Two days later, I receive a text message from one of my friends stating that she was in the break lounge at her department (the person who i tried asking works in a different department, but my friend and her share the same staff lounge):
“Hey, do you know some girl from the other unit? She’s a red head and wears glasses.”
“Yeah, I do. Why, what’s up?”
“She was talking about how some guy from rehab was trying to ask her out to the movies..
“Oh, gosh...”
“Why, what’s up?”
“The person she’s referring to is me.”
“Oh, Jake, I’m... I’m so sorry.”
“What happened?”
Apparently, she was (according to my friend) touting to two colleagues about her rejected me, even going so far to add, “I may not be a good catch, but I do have standards,” during her story.
Man.
I mean, I’m used to rejection already (or just flat out being ignored), but the fact that she muttered that comment just s t i n g s !
Sigh – it’s okay though, haha.
“...She was really mean and I don’t like. I’m glad she said no to you, because she’s a total jerk. You dodged a bullet, man.”
