I'm a little behind...

So it's been about...2 or 3 months since I last wrote...definately not raining men anymore. But it is raining a lot here :( I started my new job at Cintas today. So far so good...except Russell Caraway.

Ahh Russell..the super sexy father of my ex, Jeff, and now my semi-boss. When I moved home from Florida 3 years ago I started working out at 24 hour fitness with Kim. Sure as shit, so was Russell...so he comes over and starts talking. We catch up on Jeff and all that jazz. So for about the next month or so we would talk when we saw each other and flirt here and there. One night, all planned of course, Kim goes without me and approaches Russell about our "connection". She told him he should ask me out..but he said he liked me but couldn't since I dated Jeff. It'd just be wrong. Which I completely understand...but at the same time...Jeff was getting married, why should it matter right?

Anyway, I stopped working out at that time since I was a little embarrased for being shot down. I'm sure he's not stupid and knew that I put Kim up to it! Anyway, about 6 or 7 months ago I'm at a bar and run into a couple of guys who work for Cintas. I asked if they knew Russell and they were like "Dude, Russell is our boy! We love Russ!" I was like "Yeah me too!" So they asked me how I knew him and I said I used to date his son. One guys says "Wait, did you used to workout at 24 hour fitness?" I'm like...yeah...why? So they guy freaks out and says that Russell talks about me all the time and that he wanted to date me so bad but the fact that I was with Jeff was holding him back. Then he got his buddy and was like "DUDE! This is the girl Russ is always talking about! From the gym!" Anyway, they basically said that he was madly in love with me...in a nutshell...

So I'm interviewing with Cintas last month...and I sit down for my final interview with the GM. We were bullshitting and just talking about nothing...and I mentioned that I knew Russell. He asked me how, and I said I used to date his son. The first thing that came out of his mouth was, "Did you used to workout at 24 hour fitness?" OMG...SERIOUSLY...How many people know about this!!??? I said, "yeah...why?" "Oh I workout there, I just thought I'd ask." YEAH RIGHT...

Anyway, so now I work there with him...and thank God he's on vacation this week. But I run into Mike (Jeff's friend) today and he says..."Have you seen Russell around? He told me you would be starting today. He said he got you the job" Ok...bullshit. Kim's mom got me the job. Russell had NOTHING to do with it. In fact, Kim's mom heard him talking to the HR lady about me and she said he didn't say many good things...So I'm confused.

The thing is...he's told about 3/4 of the company about me...and now I feel like I have this "reputation" to live up to...and it's only my first day!! Ahhh!!! I have a feeling rumors will be flying when he gets back. Oh boy, drama 101...
