“into me”, “all around me”, “on top of my head”, etc. - is that why you used to be called asshat?  
😃 _And awaaaaaay we gooooo!!!_  
[sub]In case that’s unclear, I’m just joking with you. I immediately thought of that silly name when I saw you talking about your boss’ ass ;)[/sub]

Can you write a note to my boss complaining the same thing about me?

Tell him you’re too distracted to get any work done.

Queen Buddy, I believe, would be a _Kids in the Hall_ character played by Buddy the Fag. _sigh_ Buddy also does a nightclub schtick–that’s where I was pulling that line from. Somebody got whooshed…nit so sure it wasn’t me though. 😃

My boss is a internationally known medical researcher. In her spare time, she could model-- she’s tall, thin, has naturally blonde hair, sapphire eyes and legs that don’t end. Fortunately for me, she is not my type physically, and she’s hopelessly straight.

However, I confess to a great deal of schaudenfreude when I hear the stories about how she’s constantly followed around by a bunch of leading biology researchers at international conferences who apparently turn into scampering little puppy dogs around her.

What’s he supposed to do? Surreptitiously snap a pic of his boss’s butt with his cell phone and then scamper to post it on the net? I’d say that would certainly be less than subtle!

That would work for me. Hey, I didn’t say it was gonna be easy to get, that’s the part that **Otto** gets to figure out. 😉

I don’t have a cell phone, let alone a camera phone, and even if I did they’re against the rules and breaking the rules would make my [del]new boyfriend[/del] boss sad.

And not only is he hot and smart, he’s also funny. Dammit.

Actually, this reminds me of a temp job I had about a decade ago. I was working in an office that was in the process of closing, they brought in temps to replace people as they left. And the manager there was TOTALLY hot and sadly very straight. Anyway, it got to where it was only the two of us left in the office for the last few weeks. It was great getting to spend my entire work day alone in an office with this very hot guy, but very annoying too since I had to keep my checking out of him discreet.

Just remember this Cute Boss Rule: _An asshole with gorgeous buns is still an asshole._

With all this talk about not dating in the office, I just have to say I’m engaged to a wonderful woman who I met at work. She’s one of our dispatchers. We’re getting married on June 10th.

So someone at work saw my boss in a pair of shades and started calling “Johnny Cage!” who I come to find out is a character from Mortal Kombat. After several swoon-inducing minutes of watching him striking muscle poses (whimper) while going “Johnny Cage!” over and over, I looked up [Linden Ashby](http://www.lindenashby.org/index.shtml) who played Cage in the first MK movie. And yeah, there’s a resemblance facially. So while I can’t get an actual picture this should give you droolers an idea.

He’s going on vacation next week to the Cayman Islands. I’m imagining various snugly fitting swimwear…
