Hi I'm Jeffrey. I'm just your average worker, working for an average organization, living an average life that's shared with my colleague over the cubicle.
Jeffrey recently met the owner of his local fitness club, and they hit it off immediately. They exchanged numbers and Jeffrey patiently awaited that first call or text with baited breath, and then it happened. "Hey, just checking in to see how your day is going."
Jeffrey couldn't believe it. He had sworn off love or ever finding a meaningful relationship. He just wasn't looking or in the market for it, but here it was a text, a "how is your day going?". Surely it must mean something.
So Jeffrey text back, with a pulsating heart, "my day is going amazingly!" And now he waited, staring at the screen on his phone.... And then the chirp of a text coming in, "great to hear that, we'll chat later." O-M-G. "We'll chat later..." When is later, today, tomorrow, next week?
Jeffrey couldn't wait to go to work to share the good, no "great" news with Brooke, his cubicle mate.
"Girl, guess what? I'm dating somebody," Jeffrey told Brooke standing in the entrance of her cubicle.
"Dating somebody? Last week you were talking about you didn't have time to be texting or talking to anyone. Who are you dating, what the hell happened?"
Jeffrey went to his cubicle and got his phone and reappeared in Brooke's cube with his phone in hand and showed her the text.
"It just says "Hey, just checking in to see how your day is going." And you're dating? Get the hell out of here!" Jeffrey took his phone and went back to his cubicle.
"Well it's a start," he said over the cubicle wall as he stared at the text and ignored the constant ringing on the office's main phone line.
"Answer the DAMN phone Jeffrey!"
