Well I casued some confusion with my cryptic comments about beard growing and the like.
Well you can rest assured that I am no longer on the path to shaggy beard-vile and I’m veering back to the land of the neatly trimmed. The whole saga, that went largely undocumented on this site, cuminated yesterday with me giving a Valentines card and little bear to a womyn at work.
This got me a hug, a kiss, a (relevant) phone number and a promise of a ‘date’ next week.
Life is good and I am happy!

Who is she? C’mon we want to know who the girl is. Oh sod it if it’s the new girl just pass the phone number round.
Perhaps the date is today 😉 seen as you are off work? The only other people not in work today are Mary and Sarah?…..
Hey I’m trying not to get my own hopes up, let alone the hopes of random co-workers 😛
All these things will be revealed in good time.
nice one mate, you can tell me all about her this weekend (while we are not doing any “jogging” 😉 )
I received a card myself, and I don’t know who it’s from!
However, i’m not getting any hopes up, seeing as…
(A) It was posted to where I work,
(B) Inside was written "Thanks for calling me back, J"
…well, I haven’t called ANYONE back, nor have I had anyone TO call back in the first place. The handwriting looks familiar but I don’t know where I may have seen it before. Hell, I could be a great big fat pile of wrong and it could be genuine, but if it is, then the mystery serves only to piss me off!
My thinking is, if they felt the need to let me know how they feel, wouldn’t it help to know WHO it is who feels that way?
*sigh*
I suppose that makes me a cynical spoilsport!
…sounds like you didn’t call her back at all and she sounds a bit peeved at that…..well, if she didn’t tell you who it was, then its not your fault you cant say sorry! ….i got a card but it doesn’t count seeing as it was a belated birthday card….although the pressie with it was very apt…a poster saying ‘boys are stupid, throw rocks at them’ …fantastic on valentines day!….certainly goes with the spirit of things….well, thats how i see it….
Nah, it can’t be a peeved lady that I never called back, for I refer you back to the point that I haven’t had anyone TO call back. Don’t go making me look like the bad guy here, dammit!
ok….well, we have another few posibilities….A)wrong Pete at work…could be another one (unlikely option) …B) could be a wind up from one of the lovely lads from here (Rob has looked very shifty recently!) or C) you went out, got completely drunk and got a girls number/details/measurements and forgot to call back…..
*On the defence AGAIN…*
Well…
(A) I’m the only Pete at work
(B) The Royal Mail sorting office stamp was for MY area
(C) Erm…
(D) (yes, i know it’s a new letter to make a point), a new theory has come up which is plausible that it’s genuine and doesn’t make me seem like an arse, but I don’t really believe it (Long story, but I win THIS arguement at least!).
…so, er, point (C) it is then?!
Oh WHY does it convert the letter "C" in brackets into a copyright symbol?!
NO NEED!
Don’t look at me…
Ah, this is better! New wordpressy goodness putting the copyright symbol back to the bracketed "C" as I originally intended!
You know Rob, it’s times like this I think you did this upgrade just for me…? 😉
