Sleepless (and single) in seattle

They were good times and they were bad times...
Friday evening 8 pm. After an entire day in the park (and the entire week in parks and basements)
Boss: We'v done a great job. Excellent, I'm very excited. The world will never be the same again (and all that kind of stuff..)
Me: Boss, we missed wine down and now I missed going to the movie. You need to compensate me for the alcohol, food and entertainment.
Boss: Oh, Im so sorry, I dint mean to do that. I'll treat you to dinner tonight.

Enter Frankie's, an Italian pasta place.

Steward (smiles pleasantly): Are you guys having a good evening? Would you like the table in the corner.
Me thinks, oh oh.. Dont mistake us...

Waitress (smiles again): How are you guys doing? Did you guys go a movie this eve?
Me thinks (grinding my teeth): How dare you rub it in! I DID NOT go to the movie this eve! And you know thanks to who!

Boss: This is exciting stuff. This opens up so many directions..
Sigh.

One glass of wine later,

Boss: You know those guys think we are on a date. The corner table, movies...hehehehe

Sigh...........

Two glasses of wine later,
Boss: You'r not single, are you?
Me: I am
Boss: I dont believe you are single.
Me: Of course I am, why cant I be single?

Three or four glasses later,
Me: How about you?
Boss: I am married.
Me thinks: Damn, but are you happily married?

1 paper submitted. One more resubmission tomorrow. I hope *someone* is having a good time!
Good news, well, there isnt one.

Part II to the dinner to come soon.
