And my boyfriend wants me to call him futureman…

July 11th, 2006

Today was kind of a strange day. I was talking to the IT guy of the small company that I work for and I was telling him how lately I will get up in the middle of the night when I had an idea on how to make this database work. And he said, “There is nothing more attractive than a woman working on a computer in her pajamas.” And then he proceeded to thank me for “perking up” his day.

He said this. To me. And the first thing I thought was, “You have got to be kidding me.” Then I thought, “Ummm… I work with you.”

Now I am sitting in a local coffee shop, and I thought that I was going to get some work done, but I really just need my big screen on my desk at home. However, about 5 minutes after I sat down, this guy who totally knows how to play the piano sat down at the piano (imagine that) and started playing some pretty incredible music. So now I am looking for a reason to stick around because I already sucked down my 16 ounce espresso milkshake in about 2.5 seconds, but I want to hear him play. I am a sucker for this kind of crap. This moment is only dampened by the fact that the person working behind the counter of the coffee shop is listening to Sarah McLaughlin or something similar. Let’s just say that it doesn’t work well with the piano. You think she would turn the music off and enjoy it while it lasts.

I really should go home and work. But it is probably hot in my house and there is no live music there. And once I walk in the door I will be overwhelmed with the urge to just lay down in my bed and sleep. Which would not = work.

  1. I love listening to live piano. I used to play when I was a kid, but haven’t practiced ever since I moved out of the parents home and went to college!

    Mmm…. espresso milkshake…
