#but i love her for that

[maxdibert]

I'm going to spill some gossip because my work bestie and I are living for this telenovela we're experiencing right now. We don’t even know if it’s a K-drama or an episode of The Office, but don’t judge us because I’m turning 29 in a month and my bestie is 31, and we’re at that age where we survive thanks to office drama.

Let me tell you the case and see what you all think.

We have a coworker who works with us in the office, and we adore him because he is the greenest flag among all green flags. We’ll call him A. He’s a bit of a nerd and all, but we love him. He’s been living alone for three years and hasn’t had a girlfriend since his last relationship. Last year, we even tried finding him a match on Tinder, but nothing worked out because, honestly, he’s very particular—like, he's 43 years old and collects Magic Gathering cards, you know? (And yes, being an adult means you get along with both 25-year-olds and 50-year-olds because you all exist in the same environment).

Anyway, two months ago, this girl joined the office as an administrative assistant—we’ll call her B. She lives with her boyfriend and has been in a relationship for over two years. My bestie and I don’t know B that well, but she seems like a cool girl. And no, it has nothing to do with the fact that at the Christmas party, she got drunk and told us she loved our outfits and that we always looked amazing at the office—I swear that has nothing to do with why we like her. But seriously, she has good vibes.

So, for weeks now, these two have been sitting next to each other at the office, and they literally spend the entire day talking. And my bestie and I—who are definitely the most mature and not at all childish adults in history—started shipping them so hard because this is the first time we’ve seen A pay so much attention to a woman for such a long time. The thing is, A is a bit of a know-it-all, the type of guy who knows a little bit about everything and can talk about anything. And B turned out to be exactly the same—but better, because she’s a woman, and women always say more sensible things.

And A had been telling us for ages during after-work drinks (because obviously, my bestie and I are not the type of annoying women who adopt a man they consider a green flag and treat him like their son even though he’s a decade older than us—not at all 🙄) that he couldn’t find anyone he liked because he’d become a bit insufferable and no one stimulated him intellectually anymore. Blah blah blah, midlife crisis or something—I don’t know, I’m still in my thirty crisis.

Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, they were talking for like 40 minutes straight, and I don’t even know what she was saying, but A was looking at her like he was at a TED Talk given by the most fascinating speaker alive. And I turned to my bestie and said, “Ojo de loca no se equivoca” (which is a very Spanish saying that basically means a crazy girl’s eye never lies), and I told her, “Look, A likes her. I’m telling you.” And my bestie—who has zero shame—casually asked B during an after-work, “Hey, you and A get along really well, huh?” And B said yes, and even said he was exactly the type of guy she usually got along with. And then, jokingly, she said that if she were single, she might have even asked him out.

And at that moment, I knew I was a witch because my intuition is 100% on point.

But of course, they were our doomed OTP because, well, B lives with her boyfriend. And as far as we know, he’s a great guy, and they have a solid relationship. And if adulthood has taught me anything, it’s that people in stable relationships don’t want to leave them—because it’s just too much effort.

BUUUUUUUUUT today, we arrived at the office, and someone else was sitting in B’s usual spot (a girl who occasionally comes in for internal management tasks). And when A noticed, he was like, “Huh? Who sat here? That’s weird, isn’t it?” And B just said something like, “Well, whatever, I’ll just sit over there.”

And A was just standing there, all confused, like, “But why would someone sit next to me? I don’t get it… haha… haha…” (nervous laughter).

And then, when the girl who took B’s spot finally arrived, THIS IDIOT TURNS TO HER AND GOES, “Oh, it’s just that B usually sits here… but, you know, it’s fine, haha, it’s all good, haha.”

And my bestie and I were just like, EXCUSE ME, SIR???

And then? He kept GLANCING AT HER EVERY TWO SECONDS.

Like, make it make sense???

So now we’re debating: Maybe A is keeping his distance because he knows B has a boyfriend and that there’s zero chance of anything happening. Maybe B feels the same way. Or maybe we’re just completely delusional and desperate for some excitement in our monotonous workdays (and also because we grew up watching teen soap operas).

But what do you guys think? There’s definitely something going on here, right???

I swear, I’m this close to telling my boss about it, but he’s such a little shit that if I do, he’ll start making comments. But ugh, I’m SO TEMPTED.

I literally just got back from lunch and had to write this because, for a moment, I felt like I was 15 again, gossiping about classmates’ drama at school.

Chappell Roan not playing about her boundaries and personal safety and putting her foot down and yelling "shut the fuck up" at rude paparazzi during the VMAs red carpet is healing something in me truly. That is a lesbian woman refusing to act all grateful and bashful at being allowed space, she is owning the space for which she has worked over a decade and assertively setting her boundaries and giving zero fucks about whose ego she bruises on the way because only people who take advantage of you take offense when you set boundaries and I am enjoying every second of it

One thing I truly love about Mabel is that she is completely genuine and sincere weird little girl representation. She has a morbid sense of humour. She grew up with a horrifying plush bear called Bear-O and literally everybody hated him. Her prized possession is a pig whom she won at a carnival, claiming to be a witch while doing so. Her initial design for a wax figure was a fairy princess horse fairy princess. She punched a unicorn. She draws portraits of her friends on cats and sells them for a profit. Her dream boyfriend is a Bill and Ted clone who has a masters in law. She's scared of stop motion. Her uncle didn't like colours so she hatched a plan with her friends to blind him. When her uncle offered her a free gift from his shop, she took a grappling hook without even considering any other option. One time she said the sentence "it's covered in my blood, sweat, tears, and other fluids." No one is doing it like her
