Random occurrences from this week:
Wednesday: Coworker randomly pinches me on the arm and I get really weirded out. Later that day I was waiting to cross the street and random dude starts asking me "WHERE. ARE. YOU. FROM." in this creepy monotone. Finally manged to convince him I didn't speak English. This was "Bug Stephanie" day.
Wednesday through Friday: Had to keep redoing work because it wasn't TOTALLY scrubbed clean of background noise. I tried...I mean, I want to edit everything correctly, but it's like there's always some tiny click of background noise that magically appears after I've checked everything.
Saturday: Today will be my first essay into the realm of online dating. Depending on how this goes, my next blog post will either be, "Adventures in Online Dating" or "How I Met a Total Psycho on the Internet."
On Friday I brought up the pinching incident with my boss and I hope I was able to convey that it was likely a cultural difference and I just want to clarify that I'm not into touching for future reference.
So what actually happened...We were both working at the same computer as usual and he was trying to tell me to copy some files and kept saying "Control click!" I tried control click, but it didn't work. Then he pointed to the command key and I said in a very dry tone, "Command click." At that point he realized he had been telling me totally wrong, and then he laughed and pinched my arm in a "You got me this time but I'm still going to punish you" gesture.
Definitely weird.
Update: I just went on my first online-dating date this evening, and luckily I'm still alive! Adventures in online dating. Not much to tell. You really can't know much about a person just by messaging them I think. I'm not getting anything beyond friendly vibes, but it was a enjoyable time. We ate okonomiyaki and afterward played darts, which was kind of fun because I haven't done it in a while.
