One More Thing
How would you interpret the following IM conversation?
him:i would like to meet you at some point
gooberene: deal
him: place the name with the face
him: ;)
him: a smiley face of course
Er. Let's see..
1) he's a former student(!)
2) I said "deal" before I carefully read his comments
I thought we were wrapping up! You know, saying goodbye. Etc.
Oy. I made a mess. Before I could correct myself he signed off.
Weird thing. Well, there's lots of weird things. But he's more or less my age. And kind of smart. Well, in the I-can-string-big-words-together-coherently-sort-of-way. And his papers were interesting to read. After class ended he kept me posted on his job search. (He's contracting for a financial services firm that I interviewed at, and desperately wanted the job) And I am irritated he has multiple job offers in the queue which he can't decide between. Grumble. The age similarity matters only because he's looking at Director level positions.
Remember, I read his papers. They were good. But not that good.
Fine. But I am not meeting the German in NYC.
Or, for that matter, the LA guy in CA.
