Alright, so this is awkward.

I just got an email titled “Dorothy is waiting on you.” Naturally, I figured it’s spam but as I flagged it as such I discovered that it’s an “friend” invite for the social networking site tagged.com.

Fair enough, but who the hell is Dorothy?

Is it an old fling? I can’t remember a Dorthy? Did I go to high school with this girl? No, don’t think so. Wait?… Is that that quiet, mousey chick from in our mailroom at work? Holy shit. I think it is.

So she thinks we’re “friends?” Really? I think I said “Hi” to her once only because I had to go down and return someone else’s paycheck that was mistakenly put in my mailbox.

I don’t “do” these social sites so I normally don’t have to deal with this stuff but apparently I have to choose ‘yes’ or ‘no’ if she’s my friend… God, this is awkward.

I barely even know this girl; what happens if I say “yes?” Is she gonna want to eat lunch together in the cafeteria? Shit, is she gonna ask me to help her move? Fuck that, I’m clicking ‘[Hell] no!’

Sure, things will probably be awkward for a while but I’m pretty good at avoiding co-workers and I guess I can just take my outgoing mail home and drop it in my own mailbox.
