About a month ago I was a receptionist for a day at this company. Receptionists have a great job: they get to know everyone, they know all the good gossip and all they have to do is transfer phone calls and answer emails. Everyone is nice to the receptionist because she or he knows all the dirt and can make you very uncomfortable if you are rude.
A third into my shift, this very nice computer guy came over because he was bored and wanted to chat. My supervisor introduced me and as we are both geeks, we started chatting. He told me a lame story that wasn't funny and I told him a story that was even less funny and we generally had a good time laughing at ourselves. He also told me that there were new jobs opening up in the company and that he would give the boss my resume. I thought about having his first born in gratitude while I thanked him and told him I would email it over. He left and that was that.
After some time and a streak of Freecell where I had won a million games in a row, he came back. We chatted again and I told yet another anecdote that wasn't in the least amusing and gave him more information than he needed. Amused by this, he asked me out. Surprised, I said yes. We exchanged phone numbers and I said I would call him after work. He left again.
Then he came back and asked me again what my name was.
We've been dating for about a month. This also goes to show that a person does not need to have a social life to get dates, she or he merely needs to get a receptionist position.
