| The continued saga about my weird colleague and a chance meeting |

On Monday I think I gave the weird colleague a bit of a hump due to meeting another colleague of mine.
Readers will remember the only male manager that I have spoken of, so many times. Tall, dark, very masculine and not a bad chap. His anatomy has been the cause of a few rather shaky threads about how nice male bums are!
On Monday, I bumped into same in one of our lifts on the way home. It took me aback a bit since he never normally left work at the time I do, owing to starting work much later (and liking a few extra hours in bed, no doubt). In fact, his working hours and start times had been the source of many a bitter remark from other early starters on another of my teams.
He was looking well and sounding it. Dressed in, what I would describe as, Ray Mears chic (the outdoor expert look) crossed with a bit of Jonathan Creek (bloke who used to wear a duffel coat and had quite long curly hair). The duffel coat was a nice touch, although being long, it didn't afford a good view of his rear, which is always a pleasure to watch in motion.
It was nice to see him again. I expect I shall pay for the encounter with a bit of tantrum from weirdo but I really don't care.

Its strange because I haven't seen my colleague for ages (months in fact) and we work in the same building not very far from each other.
I suppose its just one of those things. You don't see anyone for ages then bump into them one day.
And they're still looking quite alright (nudge, nudge, wink, wink etc).
Funny, how, whenever we see each other, its all smiles nowadays. He always seemed a very lonely bloke. One of my former work colleagues used to make snide remarks about the little he knew about the man's private life (not much, for all I knew, my colleague was out every night having a drink and going out with women). But I think that was more jealousy because he was single and the snide remarker was married.

No sign of Mr Odd today.
But no sign of male manager, either.
Never mind, its Friday.

What a lousy week!
We have new postal regulations in place and they are a pain in the a*se!
Nevermind, saw former male manager on Monday wearing his rather nice blue shirt. Cheered me up no end!

Mr Strange has been in all week and I've had a battle royale trying to steer him from talking about sex (which I don't want to hear).
On Monday, I had the saga of his weekend with his lovely wife in their hot tub and naked (oh, joy), then today I get the 'spiritual healing' skit. Seems he thinks I need spiritual healing for my woes. I was not particularly forthcoming. I also wanted to read the paper as there was something I needed to read in it but little chance of that with the talker next to me. I think I'm going to find another reading room for lunch in the next few days if this carries on!

Well, I thought I'd cured my colleague of his sextalk banter but, lo and behold, today, he's off going on about lesbians and hot-tubs.
Part of me secretly hopes one of his neighbours has got some footage of him naked to embarass him with, at some point.

Do you teach classes Jo? You seem to know what you're talking about when it comes to this sort of thing... F'rinstance, how do you know how much of a URL you have to use?  I know more web stuff than the average grandfather but I stalled after learning HTML.

He does fit into a majority of them.
The thing is, I don't actually work in the same office wing as this one. He is on a different floor altogether and the work he does is different, but he does go in for some very strange discussion.
1. He seems to enjoy going for the 'sexual' thing - I often get discourse on what he and his wife have been doing in bed on the weekend.
2. He routinely goes in for provocative discussion, then reverts back to sexual when he's not getting any 'feedback'.
3. He has always struck me as quite needy.
It all makes for some entertainment on a lunch hour I suppose. Just this week, though, he hasn't been in and I haven't minded the peace and quiet at all.
Mind you, the sexual thing is nothing like the one my husband has been receiving from one of his male colleagues. Every now and again, the guy posts 'sex quiz' stuff on his Facebook emails. I'm starting to get a bit worried.
I have discovered that my former male colleague (the nice one who does a good number in shirts) has a regular meeting slot in the lift lobby area at 1.00pm most days when he chats with his mate. It may explain why I've been making excuses to do some urgent filing on another floor which necessitates a trip down to the 1st floor (where they meet) on my way to the filing racks. Suffice to say, I have to plan to do this on occasional days as to not give the impression of 'regularity'.
So far its worked quite well.

Hi Mich, you could always reverse the logic and say to them "why do I always find you guys here when ever 'I' come down to do some filing. Should I be suspicious? " with a smile of course.

Haven't seen either of them for a couple of days!
Boohoo.
I'm getting withdrawal symptoms.

I think they've sussed me!
No sign of either today at lunchtime, although I did have Mr Strange to disturb my lunch hour.
I'm boohooing into my tea as I write this.

The weird colleague has returned.....
With interest.
Still having bad arguments with his wife and has now reverted back to wearing the awful trousers and clumpy cat poo coloured shoes....
Lovely....
I think I'm going to ring perm my hair, buy bright blue mascara and wear neon coloured off the shoulder tops and call myself Alex.....
