i guess i do come across intimidating….

tonight i worked a 65th birthday surprise and the lady who was putting it on wanted to make sure everything was perfect! she wanted the beer, wine, and soday served in glasses and told us to refuse to serve it in a can or bottle even if someone requested it. we hand served the salads, dinner, and ice cream and were told to pour the ice tea and coffee for the guests so that they would not have to get up from their seat. 
Now since it took all the staff members to serve the food and buss it in time for dessert, it was a little bit difficult to keep refilling everyones drinks. Usually the reason we set up a coffee/tea station is so that we can do our job and the guests can get drinks themselves. However tonight that was not the case and so we tried our best.

During the evening I kept noticing a man wearing a leather jacket, sitting in the corner table… staring at me. He was decent looking, medium build, dark hair and eyes, and probably between 29 and 32 years old. It made me feel a tad bit uncomfortable feeling his eyes on me and every time I went to ask if i could take his plate or if he was finished, he wouldn’t respond but just…kept staring…..

so i tried to avoid going to that table….

I told my coworker jennie about him and she said "oh yea! i thought there was something mentally wrong with him because he hasn’t spoken a word all night!"

i shrugged. whatever.

finally when the party was over and people started to leave, we all noticed he was sticking around…..

when the last group of people were about to go (including him ) i noticed that the 65 birthday candle was left on one of the tables! so i quickly said "excuse me! but does anyone want to take this? I just thought it would be a good memento from the party!" and that guy said "sure!" and strided over to me.

so i handed it to him and said "here ya go!" and smiled. and he just stood there with it…..staring at me and smiling like he had something to say……so after a few moments of him just doing that i said "okay…well have a good night!"

and turned back to cleaning up some of the leftover cake plates.

after coming back out from the kitchen i heard my boss kimms voice

"ooooh haaaannnaaah!!"

oh brother…i knew from the tone of her voice that it was about that guy….

she came over to me and told me that the guy was going to talk to me and give me his number but when i gave him the candle he froze and lost his nerve.

i said "what!?"

kimm: "yea! he came up to me and stammered….i um i uh…usually am not good at this and well…don’t really talk much and um…well…here….can you give this to hannah? and then he handed me his number to give to you!"

so she gave it to me and i didnt really know what to say….

me :"dang kimm.. i really had no idea that i could make a man so nervous!…didn’t he look a little old to be that nervous?"

kimm: "i dont know girl but you sure scared the crap out of him!" she laughed at me and then we laughed together.

so i guess i was a little flattered but at the same time a little frustrated. that is not how i want to effect men….i don’t want to make men nervous or come across as intimidating! but this guy was definitely proof that i was….. *sigh* oh wells. I asked jennie if her friend wendy was still single, that maybe she could give this guys number to her, but she shook her head "wendy is crazy! she’d tear this man to shreds!" i thought about it and agreed lol.

well, I think I’ll read a bit before i head to bed. hmm and i think tomorrow i’ll double my workout. i feel like gettin stress out. alrighty goodnight diary!
