Skipping lunch is a no-no - 11/15/2006
Having a crush on someone who you get to see for only a few minutes during lunch break is as frustrating as losing weight. On the second thought, it is ten times more frustrating. At least with losing weight, I have (more or less) a control over it and can do something about it (even if I don't get the exact results I want).

Here's the thing, I don't know anything about him. I do not even know his name. I once thought of following him just to see if his workplace is only a floor or two away from mine. This may sound more like stalking (think Fatal Attraction) but it really is 100 times less intense than it seems. (Desperate situations call for desperate measures. =) Anyway, I coerced a friend to hang around outside the cafeteria with me after having lunch and wait for him to pass by. He usually finishes lunch ahead of us and sits on a bench with a friend outside the cafeteria. A few minutes before the bell rang, there he was with his ruggedly handsome face heading towards the building across from ours. Sadly, the chance of meeting him in the hallway is from slim to none. I guess there is nothing more I can do.

... but then, we'll (I'll) always have lunch break.
