It seems that people always believe they know you at work. Because they see you for an entire third of your day, they can safely assume the rest is spent between sleeping, and acting the same way you are at work.
This only comes up today because, much against my own desire, a fellow co-worker - Mr. Tanaka, who occupies the cube next to me in the teacher's lounge - decided to set up a profile on TokyoMatch.com for me today. He insisted I make one, since he said being single is unhealthy, according to some recent study he found. Oddly enough, such a fact is disproved by the very site he signed me up for...
An hour after telling me I should sign up, he stood up, patted me on the back, and said it was done. I leaned over and there it was.. and I'm not entirely sure how he managed to get that picture of me. I thanked him for his obvious efforts, and told him it appeared to be quite the masterpiece of misinformation.
Just as I was wheeling back to my cube, he pointed to the title of the ad. I'd forgot I'd told him about such a thing. I guess he has a better memory than I'd assumed. Or perhaps he only remembers the useless facts of those around him. I do recall him mentioning something about one of the female teachers...
At least he's not trying to set me up with his sister/cousin/ex-wife like the teachers at my old school would have tried. Email is easy enough to ignore.
