A day this week... obfuscated in case someone might recognize the situation.
Part of my job requires walking around and talking to people. I needed to interview 2 or 3 people in one area about some basics, and noticed one cute gal at the next bench was
wildly attentive. She looked like a dog on point, hanging on everything I said. If she'd had a tail, it would have been wagging so hard she'd have bruised the gal next to her.
She's from a small country near India and looks like she's about 15, although we don't hire anyone under 18. I'd take her home in a hot minute if I wasn't working with her. I didn't want to lead her on, so I didn't interview her, only a couple of other people.
It's a confidence boost that she's interested, even tho I'm old enough to be her great-grandfather. Hell, maybe I remind her of a favorite grandfather!
