View Full Version : Crush at work

Hello!

So here is this weeks topical question..... Has anyone got or had a crush at work and have you done anthing about it ?

Does it affect your life ?

You know what I mean..... You now look forward to going to work. You now spend more time in one department and make excuses to go down there.
You pretend the job takes twice as long just to spend time with someone.

And deep in your heart you know that you are at work, that you shouldnt be thinking this way and you know they may not have feelings for you, but you still can't help but go see them and look forward to seeing them at work.

I'm in a situation liket that at the moment. There is one girl I always go and see and will go out of my way to go down to her department to see her.
I'll put off one job to do her job instead. It's strange.
It helps that I'm not married and not already tied to a relationship at the moment but it is always daunting.

Do you tell them, risk a friendship, keep on working with them everyday and know it could get tricky if you fall out.

What are everyones experiences ?

Just ask her out man!!

Take the bull by the horns!

She will know you fancy her anyway, and so will everyone else, so just do it!

I asked my crush at work out. She was a bit taken aback but with some, out of character persistance, she agreed to go out for a meal.

That was 8 years ago and 2 kids and 1 marriage later suggests it went OK. It was the best thing I ever did plucking up the courage to ask she who must be obeyed out. I've since reverted to my usual yellow streak down the back characteristic. ;)

My concern at the time was losing a valued friend because I enjoyed her company. It couldn't have worked out better for me.

Been out with loads of girls from work, some colleagues some staff... Only once caused problem.

You only tell them if you think its mutual, easily find out while your chatting say your going for a beer at lunch and do they fancy it..

Yep I think she knows. Others know I spend time going to see her. It's crazy. She's so hot as well. Ahhhhhhh, I think she only wants to be friends though so it is so fustrating. I love joking around with her. She's so much fun.

He saw me as a challenge, and won me round!

Sounds good Lucy. You seem a happy lady so it seems it can work out.

Yes, and with women it is so hard to read signs.
Still we only live once don't we. So you have to chance it.

I fancy a woman where I work, but don't have the bottle to ask her out, she is a friend in facebook. She is on a scale of 1 to 10, a 30.

She says hi everytime we pass, but then agian she does this to everyone.

Mine isn't such a good story, but we became friends when he was coming to the end of his 10 year relationship and I had just split up with th e ex-hubs about 6 years ago. It was easy to see there was an attraction, but we were both carrying so much baggage.

Anyway, we dated and after a little while at a mutual friends wedding it all came to an abrupt end. We went our separate ways for a little while but realised we missed each other. Anyway, we became friends again and eventually ended up sharing a house together. This was not such a good idea because occasionally we crossed the line and then we'd have HUGE arguments when things looked like settling into a 'relationship' again.

I decided to get out and buy my own place and he got his own also and we stayed friends for a while. We seem to have a happy medium now
where we spend time together and either of us stays at the others' house mainly at weekends. We go on holidays, concerts, go the zoo - all fun things and very rarely disagree. We don't really see each other through the week due to work commitments. I think the problem for both of us is commitment after getting out of such long term relationships - so there is my story.

I stand by what the others say though, you'll never know otherwise and will always regret it. That said, i'm pretty happy with how things are now - just not sure if its enough to keep me happy long term.

Yeah women can be like that I think. She's on my facebook too and likes when I come give her things or help her out, compliment her, but sometimes doesnt respond to hints which makes me wonder if she is maybe not too interested and prefers friendship.
She dresses really sexy too. Cant stop glancing over when I pass her. It must be so obvious but I just cant help it.

when I used to work at a major supermarket there was a guy I used to really like, and we were very touchy feely - even on the shopfloor! Despite the fact his girlfriend (now wife I believe) could walk in at any moment.

being an anti-social person though I never got the chance to make a tit of myself at any drunken nights out, which is probably just as well, else I might not be married to Anton now! :p:


I used to go to gigs a lot, sometimes staying in the same hotels *cough* nothing ever happened like that, honest, (ok, once) though once one of my major crushes said to me 'I do like you you know' which took me so by surprise it really freaked me out and I ran away! blew my chances there big time.

I don't know if I ever told Anton that, he already hates the singer of same band, :LOL:

Halcyon
21-03-2009, 15:32
Sounds like some success stories. We only live once so I'm thinking I should just go for it.
Now is asking her to go for a meal too much or is that OK?

It's good it is the weekend. I need time t think this through.

Raistlin
21-03-2009, 15:35
Perhaps just take her out for a coffee one lunch time or something, or maybe a drink one evening?

I'd save dinner for a different time.

Dinner's great, but it ties the two of you together in a small space for the length of the meal. At least a coffee is short (half hour at most) and a series of drinks is only as long as however many drinks you decide you want to have together.

With those two if you decide that it's not working the way you thought it would, if you've nothing to say to each other, of if you're just not getting on, you don't have to stay together once the drink is done with.

Just ask her out to the cinema or for a drink..nothing heavy and see where it goes from there.

Nice to think that you are getting over your last girlfriend but remember rebound romances don't always work out.Be extra cautious.;)

21-03-2009, 15:54
Thanks Incog. I know what you mean. I just want to see where it goes. Don't want to rush anything too quickly, just see where things go. It's been a strange past few months of constant breaking feelings so it's time for a fresh start.

Thanks for everyones replies :tu:

From a womans point of view, I would say take her out for a meal, shows you are really interested. Its a more relaxed envioment than a bar.
You spend time choosing food, looking at menus, a chance to talk about food if nothing else pops in to your mind!!

Aother great first time date is bowling, if shes a fun girl and you are a fun guy, its always a laugh, unless your competitive streak comes out that is!:)

Its soooooooo much easier to start by emailing.

Halcyon
22-03-2009, 14:36
I have mixed views on e-mailing. OK Yes it gets you communicating but this can often lead to a difference in things. By that I mean you can have flirty messages by e-mail but then a completly normal conversation in real life.
I know it can be a way to get to talkto her but I don't think asking someone out by email may work with all girls.

Without offending anyone, how old is this girl? Its just that girls of a certain age are used to communicating by facebook, email, text etc and it might just work.

Also, it could save any embarassment for you should she say no. I think you've gotta take the bull by the horns so to speak and ask this girl out sooner rather than later, as someone else might come along in the meantime. And there's nothing worse than having regrets ;)

I have lots more cunning plans up my sleeve if you want, my kids (adults!) are telling me them!!

Halcyon
22-03-2009, 15:30
LOL

Done the staff night out... Bought her some Champagne though it's always hard to get time alone when with so many people.

I have a funny feeling all this is going to go wrong as I think she might want to only be friends. If only I could see into women's minds.

Good points:

- She is always in a smiley happy mood.
- She asks me to do jobs for her.
- She doesnt mind me coming to talk to her.
- She's on my facebook page.
- We have things in common.
- We've shared chocolate together.
- She knows I like her.

Bad points:

- I go to see her, She doesnt come to see me. Although this could be becuase I'm never in the same place at work.
- She never gives clear signals. If she knows I like her she is not doing anything about it.
- We sometimes cross eyes passing and I don't know what she's thinking.

Best advice I can give is to buy her loads of stuff like drinks, chocolate and whatever. then at the end of the night tell her that she owes you know. any real woman would know that anyway :)

I've never had to resort to that as it's them that want to buy me everything. anyone would think they were trying to buy me :)

Ask her out for lunch as a means to getting her alone to talk to her. A simple request to take the lady out to lunch to chat is probably easier for you and her.

She may well be wondering why you haven't asked her out yet so to asking her out now may get her flustered and catch her off gaurd.... whereas a lunch is a chance to communicate without interruption.

Over lunch tell her you actually wanted to ask her out but wasn't sure how she'd react. Tell her if she wants to just be friends, that's fine but if she'd like a night out to see how you get on with each other outwith the work situation that'd be even better.

Be honest with her and remind yourself that you have got a lot to offer.

As Tennyson said. Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.

As ABBA said. Take a chance:) Good luck and keep us posted.

Well I thought it was time to give an update on this situation......

I put off asking her for a few weeks as I was really busy at work but finally did on Thursday and she wants to go out for a drink next week.
No idea how things will turn out but even if we end up being just friends I'm happy.
After the last few depressing months, I feel like this is a breath off fresh air!

If you are in the same situation as me, go for it!

If she hasn't replied to your email or updated her facebook I would hazard a good guess she hasn't accessed her personal interwebclickthingy as of yet.

When the facebook gets updated and you still get no reply then you can be a tad concerned and goto plan B.

I'd like to think that if she didn't have any feelings at all for you, she'd let you know (i had to do his recently). Its not nice, but at least you know where you stand :)

I'd agree, some might also conclude that she may see you as someone in a postion of power...and like to have your attention. Are you in IT, fixing stuff on her PC?

def dont engage in email and always reply ages after, but not too long...dont appear easy or desperate. email can easily offer false hope. maybe that's what she's doing now.

if she updates her facebook and not email you the same night, you're ****ed! unfortunetly for you I don't mean her. In that incase, hack into her PC in work and delete random work files...and rows/cells out of ramdom XLS files ;) Then get her sacked so you dont have see her mug everyday! scratch her car, if she drives ;) -stick some nails under her tyres or maybe some itching powder on her work chair, hopefully it's fabric chair.


oh, I was asked out by a fellow worker.... we're celebrating our 15th year together this year! I think most people meet their spouse in work, or in a geeky club of some kind...so all this is natural.

One tip for you and others in your situation - just don't **** the office whore, you might catch AIDS!

You mean me going down the local garage tonight to buy some nails, a can of petrol and deleting her photos off her Pc and replacing them with LOL Cat pics was a bad idea ?

;)

Nope, not going for that approach just as yet, or possibly ever.

I'm going to try and chill. I did mention originally to her "some time in the holidays" so didnt make it clear but hoped it would be this week as I think she is off to visit her sister next week.
We'l see how it goes. Love is strange. You can't sto thinking about the person, however hard you try.

Time to chill out, and get some sleep I think.

Oh no people we have a bleeder! .... he used the LOVE word! I think you're still in the attraction stage...or possible even stalking stage!

I recommend going out on the town and getting laid, quick! (you know my advice, use a condom! freaking **** out there ;) )

LOL It's OK, I'm not that desperate.

The word LOVE was to describe the whole thing. I know it isnt love as yet. At the moment it is attraction and that feeling where you just want to be with that person because they make you feel so happy.

Time to just wait and see where things go.

Yes - The news is she can't make it this Friday. She mailed me.

Which means I have been looking forward to this and now as everything else in my life I get my hopes up for nothing.

Right now I'm emailing her and just going to be straight with it, tell her my feelings and that's it.
Then she will know and it's up to her.

Don't give up on her yet, she may be feeling just as confused as you do. It's not easy having an office relationship and she may just be wary of actually taking the first step.

Halcyon
09-04-2009, 12:22

that may be a little over-reacting.

Why not try something along the lines of "sorry you couldn't make it - when would be a good time?".

This leaves it open for her.

09-04-2009, 12:31
From things she has said in the past she likes people to be upfront when asking someone out and seeing as this has dragged out for way too many months, I think maybe just setting the record strsaight and telling her my feelings may be a good idea. Tell her I wish we could get t know each other more, why I find her attractive, etc.

joglynne
09-04-2009, 12:32

I was given the same choice, opted for the friendship and then a few years later married the guy. Nearly 40 years of marriage later he's still my best friend.

I personally wouldn't go too deep in telling her stuff. she might think it's too heavy and not want to bother after all. it's your first time with her. just have fun with her and see how it progresses after that. if she wants it to go any further she'll let you know. if she doesn't then don't despair, you can always do the revenge things suggested earlier :)

The thing is she knows and half the world around her know I like her. It's been obvious.
It's just I havent ever told her face to face or directly.

But there's a difference (imho) between liking her and expressing deep feelings - it's OK at the beginning of a relationship to like someone and find them attractive, but to state anything more might be seen as being too "heavy", and wanting too much too soon (in an emotional sense).

Anyhoo, good luck.

09-04-2009, 14:23
If your heavy and give her all your reasons why you fancy her you will blow it, don't forget you have had months and months of getting it all straight in your head and she may only just be thinking about you 'that' way..

Your gonna scare her off dude..

Take it easy, offer her another date and include your mobile number then she can contact you, women like nothing better to be chased but they get very very intrigued when you stop chasing..

Hi Anne,

Thankyou for your email.

I wish I could talk to you as Email is not the best way but here goes...
I think you probably guessed that since some time, I enjoy coming down to the finance department to talk to you. You make the days working at Microsoft a little more fun and when we all go out with the department staff it is great to catch up with you.

I've wanted to say something to you sooner but it just seemed complicated at work and I didnt know what you would think.

I think we have things in common and that it would be nice to go out for a drink sometime.
I'd hope we could stay friends but it would be nice to get to know you better.
To me you seem different from everyone else, and someone very interesting.

OK here's my tuppennys' worth. I like the first paragraph and even if she shows it to anyone you just come over as a nice guy. I wouldn't use the last two paragraphs though as they are a bit over the top at this stage and mentioning staying friends if she doesn't want to go out with you just comes over defeatist.

Just add something like..

"I enjoy going out for a meal (pictures/whatever) and wondered if you would like to come with me."

Give her your phone number and ask her to ring you with her answer.

With the amount of crappiness and mess ups recently I've looked at relationships at only going pair shaped.
It's like I finally try and get over the mess up that was my last relationship where I hang on for two years trying to make it work but it didnt go anywhere and just made things so depressing that I couldnt sleep.

Meeting this new girl gave me hope of a new start.

I appreciate your kind words Jo and know that I should be more positive. I guess I need to remember that she did say yes when I asked her so that means something. Whether now she backs out again is another thing entirely.
Atleast she now knows in that e-mail that I like her.

I'll try to be more optimistic.

Maybe there's a reason she hasn't given it you.

I wish you luck mate, but work relationships can be very dodgy and soul destroying, from what I've seen. I guarantee that all her friends will read your email.

One word of advice, is that if you do start conversing via email and then onto the dreaded SMS, then don't reply straightaway - show some control and leave it hours before replying, and for your own piece of mind don't reply to stuff before you goto bed. Leave it until morning.

And whatever you do don't wreck your job over a bird, try to seperate it as much as you can, considering, always keep and eye on your mortage/rent/beer/money/car payments/whatever. - pussy comes second.

I guess I see her everyday so havent really asked for it. She is on my facebook anyway.
Yes everyone knows I want to be with her but when you are at work it's not easy to talk, especially where I work. So when we all go out such as last week it made it a little easier.

biatch, Tell him you are a shemale. Now that WILL put him off most likely.

But back to crushes, I wonder why some women, eg. the one I like who knows I like her don't just come out with it and say "No go. It's never going to happen" instead of enjoying the attnetion.
Is it just to make the chase more fun, do girls like to play with guys minds? I think so.

How about i tell him that I'm not really into bald heads (not shaven but completely bald) or guys wearing school shorts for work, sitting in a local pub with real ales available and the most unappealing bit to me - he's in his 50's!!!

Now that may make me a bitch, but thats me and he might just get the message ;) (but i'm not that heartless :erm:). The hard bit is he's deaf so communication is strained to say the least, but he's just not my type at all!

Anyway, enough about my little issue and back to halycon - its his thread :)

Yes, some girls will play with your mind, but if you think she is, is she one you should be seeking?
Us ladies all like a bit of attention, we would not be normal if we did not, but to screw with a guys head is just not on.

To be frank with you, I think she is not interested in going on a date with you, if she was, she would of taken you up on your offer and met up with you, or arranged another date if the date you suggested was not suitable for her.

I would move on.
Good things happen when you do not actively seek them!!

I see your point and if nothing comes of this e-mail I've sent her then I will move on. It's just all the signals were there, she said no problem to meeting up for a meal when I asked originally so I will hope and see if another day is possible.
To tell you the truth although she will now know I'm really into her, until last week I think she only thought I liked her in a joking way and that although I had feelings for her I wouldnt make a move. But now that I am, maybe she wants to play things slowly or see what she thinks of me first.

We got on really well so it would be a shame for it all to end.
I'd hope she would still want to be friends. It just feels like it could be so much more though.

How about i tell him that I'm not really into bald heads (not shaven but completely bald) or guys wearing school shorts for work, sitting in a local pub with real ales available and the most unappealing bit to me - he's in his 50's!!!

Now that may make me a bitch, but thats me and he might just get the message ;) (but i'm not that heartless :erm:). The hard bit is he's deaf so communication is strained to say the least, but he's just not my type at all!

Anyway, enough about my little issue and back to halycon - its his thread :)

Make a complaint against him, he'll soon get the message ;)

Yes she is going away for easter to see her Mum and Dad.
I've suggested next week instead. We'l see. If it's a no then I pretty much know she isnt interested.
Plus now she knows my feelings for her. We'l see.

I think thats a perfectly good excuse, do they live far away? Do you know info in much depth about her?

Fair enough, I'd advise leaving her to it for the weekend now. Don't scare her off by emailing rubbish, just to entertain your own desires for her attention :) :)

But do make sure you have a chat with her when you'e both back in work after the weekend, a well timed coffee break...a convo as quick as poss so there isn't an dodgy air flying about! :)

Bare in mind that peeps will be talking all week, so this may put her off. So make sure you keep the contact genuine and pressure free.

Yes, they live about [Goes to google maps] 200 miles away!

I want her soooooooooooooooooooooo much. On a scale of 1 to 10 she is 100.
It's not the looks (although she is hot), it's her sense of humour, her personality, she's very interesting.

Tell her that women have messed you about and you don't want you heart ripped apart again.

or words to that efffect.

Thats why I'm single and living at home, my hearts been bust twice, and theres a nice big busted red head where I work and I don't have the plums to take it any further and as we will all be out of a job by the end of the year time running out sharpish.

My only options are ask her if we do a goodbye Stansted do, or via private message in facebook.

Women are no different from men, they want someone with confidence, someone they can have a laugh with, uncomplicated and someone that will look after them.

If someone said 'dont break my heart' I would think needy, too soft, and be more worried about upsetting them than enjoying my time with them.. Not worth the bother!

Hom3r - If you are 40 and have only had heart broken twice, think yourself lucky! Additionally if this lady is around the same age as you, is single and has the same sense of humour as you then stop buggering about, she is probably as lonely as you and would welcome the attention.

Halcyon - If it happens it happens, to be honest it sounds like your coming across as needy and too keen, major turn off..

Halcyon
09-04-2009, 19:59
Hom3r, I totally know what you mean. I was dragged along a I want you/ I dont want you phase for way too long and then the last relationship I was in a few months ago...Well that was just a nightmare as I didnt want to let go but everytime we met it was painful and hurt so much. I had so many dreams and you could just watch them fading away.


Facebook could be a good way via a private message. I find that whilst a company do / party will let you socialise with that person more relaxed and out of work there are always too many people to have a private conversation.

At the end of the day she may say yes or she may say no.
But I felt the same about asking this girl out. I knew that not knowing was a feeling that atleast gave me hope. Now it's a feeling of I wish she says Yes or I didnt know as then it would feel not so bad..... BUT you have to take a chance otherwise you will never know. I have learnt that.

That is how I feel when I describe my feelings for this person on here.
It doesnt mean I am sending her roses and standing outside her house with a banner saying "LOVE YOU" on it.
Ive just told her my feelings and that it would be good to go out. Nothing too big and committing.

Don't email her again. She has already intimated that she heard what you whispered to her and shown that what you said was not a problem with her. No need to remind the lady what you said unless you think she is a bit thick or has a poor memory.

In other words...stop fussing...give her some space....and have a bit of patience.

I don't honestly know.

Obviously you have to weigh up what it would be like since you work with her.
But too many of us let opportunities pass and then live to regret them.

Ok so it is going to be a moment of nerve wracking seconds when you go and ask her out but once it is done, it's a huge weight lifted.
Atleast you will know and can move on with your life.

If you feel feel confident enough that there is a chance she could be interested or atleast open to go out for a drink maybe, then go for it.
Even if you go out and it ends up being a drink more as friends than anything else then atleast you will know.

I think there is a part of me which didnt want to say anything to my crush as I thought whilst she didnt know there was stilla chance she might like me.... I didnmt want to know and be dissapointed but then if you live like that you'l be wondering everyday what could happen if she did say yes or if she was interested.

I've seen that she's logged on to match.com so she must have atleast got my email since she was online.

The only thing I can do now is wait til Monday when I see her at work and give her the Lindt bunny I got her. I'm not looking forward to Monday as it is bound to be awkward.

I just hope she wants to talk, see if we can still meet up.

Oh well. I'm not giving up just as yet. She would have mailed back to say she's not interested hopefully if she was not wanting anything. Plus I think she is still away down South.

Can I remind you that affairs of the heart don't always go well if you have just come out of a relationship..it maybe that you came across as desperate,or she doesn't fancy you that much,or she's having fun where she's been staying recently or she just doesn't want to get that serious with you.I warned you to to take it slowly as that's just how it goes sometimes.

Whatever you do next Monday don't jump on her asking why she didn't contact you...Play it cool until she says anything..Just be welcoming and ask if she had a good time on holiday..If it's going to work then she will carry the conversation forward and you can perhaps broach the subject of another drink/meal/cinema trip.Take your time..you have more of it than you think.

Halcyon

Thanks for your reply and advice Maggy.

I can see what you mean and would hope that I wasnt too desperate. I have known her for a long time and think she knew I liked her so didnt think a few e-mails would be too intense. I'm leaving it at that now. Nothing more. It's her call now.

It's just strange when she's been so fun and nice in the past and actually when we last talked wanted to really meet up.

I'm not going to just jump in there on Monday and have a go at her. I wouldnt do that.
I'l definately ask her how her holidays have been. I got her an easter egg so will give her that and then leave it at that.
See what she wants to do. Her call.

No, that right now, I don't want to go to work as I will see her every day and it will do my head in for the rest of the week, month, year.

It has taught me one thing though that I should have done something about it sooner as otherwise the feelings build up in your mind and that isnt good when it all goes wrong.

So, right now I'm going to get back to E-mailing her one final time to say I'm ok with being friends and though I'd have liked it to be more, I'm happy that we can remain friends.

Argh !!!! My mind is about to explode. I need a holiday.

It`s not a mess up mate, so you`ve been knocked back! Get out a bit more and don`t try to find someone, they`ll find you.
Just be yourself when you`re out and enjoy yourself, it`ll happen, trust me. ;)
If something doesn`t go quite right, it just means that something else is coming up. It may be with the same girl, don`t pin your hopes on it, but it might happen.

Thanks, I think I probably got too hopeful with this girl as I wanted to get over my last relationship that had been sadness and hurt for the past year and a half and I pinned too much hope in this to make things better.

I really liked the girl. It wasnt rebound or just wanting her for one thing. I truly liked everything about her, but I guess that for the moment it's not to happen.

I will try to be more hopeful and optimistic.

I disagree, I halcyon has been very open and honest with this thread and to us - very brave imo.

I'm pretty sure that he's not been so upfront in person with el chick. He sounds hurt, and cautious becuase of history, and second guesses his every move. He's so focused in getting this right and doing it right cause maybe that's how he wants to be treated.

...don't we all, but most of us either don't know it, are already in a relationship, have already been hurt and learnt... or live our lives miserable and sad.

My final words are to keep going and have some fun don't let one set back set you back (!)...life is short and you never know what's around the corner....most of it is pretty fun, so embrace it ...especially the blondes with the big knockers! ;) :)

and they only want one thing. your body!


Only one woman ever just wanted my body - and I think that was for medical research, as beagles were quite expensive

I'm sorry things didn't go so well Halycon, but i do think it might have been a rebound thing. Give yourself a break and have some fun, get yourself out there and enjoy the summer. You sound like a great guy, so maybe if you stop looking for that 'someone' then maybe they'll find you :)

Lesson to be learnt..........
Do we ever learn them?

Move on, don't go seeking a girlfriend, when it happens it happens!

Sorry, but best to go out with your mates, have some fun amd enjoy yourself.

Match.com worked for one of daughters friends though.
On line chat and banter is always a good way to get to know someone first (never thought I would ever type that), but it is sort of fun at times!
Just make sure they are not an ageing man trying to befriend you!! ;)

Bad luck there...

Maybe you should join your local Monastery, after all as the saying goes...

What fun do Monks have?

I really liked the girl. It wasnt rebound or just wanting her for one thing. I truly liked everything about her, but I guess that for the moment it's not to happen.

I will try to be more hopeful and optimistic.
Stay close friends with her, have fun together, and you never know what may happen in the future. I know this from experience ;)

Thanks for all your posts.
I've looked at the match.com route. Don't know, but I may givie it a go and see.
Going to take a bit of time out to have a break from everything I think.

As for the girl I have a crush on, it looks like we are friends and having our usual fun conversations so I'l live with that even if nothing else happens.
If it does one day, great, I guess we will just have to see.

In the mean time though, I'm taking a break and going to start getting out more, meet new people, do something new.

that is exactly the right thing to do, in my opinion - I'm glad you stayed friends with your colleague :tu:
