I just don’t feel like doing any “serious” writing tonight. As some of you know, I try to write a page each day in one of my ongoing projects. Tonight, I’m sitting here staring at my screen and not wanting to do anything productive. And I’m feeling guilty as a result, which is probably a good thing. Maybe I just need to get away from the computer for a little while. I don’t have to be at work until ten tomorrow so perhaps I can try writing later tonight.
I was at a work-related event yesterday where I met this really cute staffer from Senator Dayton’s office. She gave me her card and I was going to e-mail her to see if I could get her to go out to lunch with me. But then I got home and looked at the card: no e-mail address. I know I could be all quaint and twentieth century and just use the phone, but somehow that seems more intrusive and I feel like I would have to invent some lame excuse for calling her. And I just don’t like the way I sound on the phone. Don’t you just love reading about my awkward fumblings with the opposite sex? I should change the subtitle of this blog from “Mark Siegel’s Desperate Plea for Attention” to “Mark Siegel Is Just Desperate.”

  1. Hey Mark,
    Just two cents worth (maybe 0.0005 cents in Australian currency)
    Often desperation as you call it could be a sign of passion, which when used with effectiveness and warmth has a tendency for women or significant other to go weak at the knees in reply…So there!
    Could be sooo 19th century but what about sending cute staffer a short note or card (perhaps not ‘Your eyes are like limpid pools’, not that there’s anything wrong with that)…Maybe not written as wanted to check out contigencies to determine how X=Y but enjoyed talking with you, would you like to have lunch with me? How bold!
    Email me for more wonderful advice if you like…Am just full of it!
    Good Luck my friend…

  2. I’d say absolutely go for it, but then again I’m a sucker for romantic gestures. Sometimes I wonder if I’m just in love with being in love.
