The new resident is so pretty it's actually affecting patient care. Not mine — I'm a professional. But three nurses have walked into walls and one attending tripped over a crash cart while trying to make conversation. He's an orthopedic surgeon. Everyone suddenly has "knee pain." The ER has never been more popular.
HealthcareI LinkedIn-stalked my work crush so hard I accidentally liked a post from 2019. It was a "Thrilled to announce" job post. From a company he doesn't work at anymore. He now knows I scrolled through 5 years of his LinkedIn at 1am on a Tuesday. I am considering moving to a different country.
TechI have a crush on the IT guy who fixed my laptop. He asked me "have you tried turning it off and on again?" and I said "that's the most romantic thing anyone's ever said to me." He laughed nervously and hasn't made eye contact since. I have submitted 4 IT tickets this week. My laptop is fine.
CorporateMy work crush and I have been in a situationship for 6 months and by situationship I mean we exclusively communicate through memes in a shared Slack channel called "#project-alpha" which does not correspond to any actual project. Yesterday he sent me a meme that said "me looking at my favorite coworker" and I have not recovered. Is this love? Is this HR violation? Both?
StartupThe substitute teacher in the room next to mine looks like he walked out of a rom-com. He asked to borrow my stapler and I said "you can borrow anything you want" and then I DIED. Right there. In front of 22 seven-year-olds. One of them asked why my face was red. I said it was allergies. It was not allergies.
EducationI volunteer to do the coffee run every morning because the barista at the cafe downstairs remembers my name and draws a little star on my cup. I'm in my 30s. I have a 401k. I am blushing over a latte star. This is who I am now.
FinanceI've been "working late" for 3 months because that's when the guy from the 4th floor comes down to use our better coffee machine. We've had exactly 12 conversations. I know his coffee order by heart (oat milk latte, extra shot). He knows my name. I think. Pretty sure he said "hey you" last time but with feeling.
