Temptation

 

 
I can resist anything except temptation - Oscar Wilde.  


 It seems my premonition about something I wrote about in a post titled drama and conflict has come about. It seems one of the casual staff didn't understand the email and asked the manager to explain it. So, it all came out and the woman who sent the email has been suspended without pay. 

  I was working yesterday and a guy came from the cable company to hook up a residents phone. I went to let him in because it's a locked unit. He was walking a little in front of me and he just had the cutest bum. Yes, I was so checking him out. Nice chunky bum that wobbles just right. Then he starts up a conversation and I have to move my eyes away and make eye contact. Apparently he was in my unit two weeks earlier and remembered I was working then. Unfortunately I couldn't recall ever seeing him before.  He probably wasn't wearing the tight shorts that day. We share a little friendly banter and I realize he's flirting with me. So, who doesn't enjoy a little flirting and I do the same back. He hints about having a drink together sometime but I have way too many complications in my life right at this time. So, I graciously decline his offer.  It was very tempting though he did have just the cutest bum.  

 The only way to get rid of a temptation is to yield to it. Resist it and your soul grows sick with longing for the things it has forbidden to itself - Oscar Wilde.
