Mountain Don't: Advice Needed!

Situation:

So I've been groggy all day. To culminate, the following series of events have taken place since 12:30pm. Please tell me if I'm losing my mind or if I should be cautious:

Sage Begins:

So it's 12:30pm and I'm a little peeved at my boss, my co-worker, and what seems to be the world. Well except for the #4 that I mentioned in yesterday's post. So it's lunch time and I decide to head over Quiznos to get a bite to eat.

As I walk in the door and begin to order my Sammie’s with a drink, the cashier hands back my almost overly used Wachovia card and a cup for my soda. Just as I pull back and reach for my wallet, into Quiznos walks #4 (I’ve gotta come up with a better name). We converse politely and discuss the conversations from the night before. She mentions that it’s good to see me [again], and that she enjoyed the conversation. She also mentions that she is having problems with receiving text messages on her phone. As she’s ordering, I go to fill my cup with Pepsi and return just as she’s getting ready to pay. As a gentleman, I offer to pay (knowing she’d say no), but I thought the offer would win me brownie points, since we haven’t known each other long.

After our food comes we commence to walk back to our respective buildings, which just so happen to be connected to one another (foreshadowing). Small talk continues as we cross the street. Little does she know, I’m really digging her (or maybe she does).

She gets on her elevator, and I get on mine. The time is now roughly 12:50pm. The following text messages ensue:

------------------

Me: Hey... u should have come up and hand lunch with me J

(15 mins go by)

Me: Are you not getting my texts still?

#4: That would’ve been nice…let’s put that on the things to do list.

#4: I’m in training from 1-5 babe…sorry

---------------

Ok, no problem right……

Time goes by and I’m getting ever more frustrated with my boss…but the fact that #4 is a couple of floors down and a building over, thinking about me was enough to suffice. So around 4:00pm I decide to take a break, refresh my mind, and go downstairs to get a Mountain Dew. As I’m walking (within the building) to the convenient store (which is in the building)…..who do I see at the stairwell door……on the dang phone…laughing and joking….eating a candy bar…none other than…..#4!!!!!!! She looks, smiles, and says in Spanish “!Que suerte!” (how lucky) I reply with “convengo” (I agree), but by this time she had to have seen the confused expression on my face….

I don’t even bother to stop and hold a conversation, as I can see she’s enjoying her phone conversation. I get my Mountain Dew, and head back, only to see that she’s no longer there.

My rational/irrational thoughts:

1. Didn’t this woman just say that she had meetings from 1-5pm?
2. Why would she have to leave the office to come downstairs to make a call, unless it was a conversation that she didn’t want anyone to hear? I would have thought it was an emergency, but she was engaged in a pretty laughable conversation….
3. Considering that we’ve only known each other for 3 weeks…how do I go about addressing this???
4. Should I even address it at all?
5. Why is my conscience telling me these are red flags?
6. Am I over analyzing this?
7. Why do I even give a damn?
8. Have I been “bent” in only 3 weeks?
9. Nah….I’m KJ, I don’t get bent over this…..
10. I’ve gotta get outta……



-----------------------
Text message while I’ve been typing:

Me: Ok, that was odd…

#4: What’s wrong??

Talk to you guys later…..
KJ

hmmm...interesting. I would say don't stop just because of that, but also keep it in the back of your mind.

Sounds like an intriguing #4. Don't read too much into her actions though. Sometimes our mind and imagination can be our worse enemies when analyzing situations. How ironic is that you randomly walked down for a mountain dew and there she was. Coincidence...or better yet...

I agree with the others. Keep it in the back of your mind, but don't overanalyze it. Her meeting could have just let out early. She may have needed a break. Who knows. *shrug* Just keep your eyes open but allow for your heart to be as well. :)
