you're nobody until somebody tells you to drop by the house and holla at him
I thought I was done updating my website for the day, but then I walked out of my office and this happened:

I exit office into alleyway which leads to parking lot, noticing a 50+ man I don't really know, but who has been in my office three times for assistance, and has also serenaded a co-worker with an Al Green song and patted me on the head once. (Who said working in human services wasn't entertaining?) Keep head down in order to be inconspicuous. Fail miserably.

Him: Hey girl! How you doin'?
Me: (looking around) Who? Me?
Him: Yeah. What you been doin'?
Me: Uh, working.
Him: You know who I am, right?
Me: Yeah.
Him: You okay? I know you been kinda sad lately.
Me: (although "kinda sad" is my constant emotional state...) Um. I'm fine.
Him: You sure?
Me: Yep.
Him: (coming in for the hug) Okay.
Me: (awkwardly patting his shoulder) Uh.
Him: Why you don't come by the house sometime? Holla at me.
Me: (speechless)
Him: You know where I live, right?
Me: Uh, no.
Him: Me neither. Okay, you take care.
Me: Right, you too.

- Fin -

Yes, my days, they are filled with the adventure.
