missed opportunities

Am sick *cough, cough*

Am also, unfortunately, out of sick days at wonderful place of employment. Suppose should be learning lesson that one must not use sick days for such activities as travel, errands and staying-at-home-in-bed-reading-Cosmo. But, would have to take time off for learning such lessons, and well, as have just said, that is an impossibility.

As was late, due to inability to pry self from warm bed, missed normal bus and ended up on same one as Beautiful Bus Boy. Oh dear god. Yours truly was sans makeup, puffy-eyed and wet-haired. BBB was as ridiculously good-looking as had remembered.

Why didn't you call him?
Not now. Please don't make me kick myself before 9 AM. I don't have the energy.
You want me to wait a half hour? I can come back?
Nah. Why postpone the inevitable?
So, let me get this straight. This gorgeous boy in front of you -- don't make eye contact! you look hideous--
Thank you.
No prob. He asks if he can call you. You say no. He gives you his number and you do what with it?
Nothing.
Right. And why?
I don't know.
I do.
Enlighten me.
J.
Well, shock me, shock me, shock me. For an Inner Goddess, you're really not all that insightful.
Some thanks.
Thank you, Captain Obvious. You saved the day... again.
Get off.
What? Is that like 'fuck off', only in Inner Goddess talk?
No. This is your stop, dummy. Get off the bus.
Oh.
