Chapter 13

DASH109: I bet you're pretty.
MEG216: Pretty? LOL I wouldn't know, I don't really pay much attention to myself that way these days.
DASH109: Well you have a very pretty personality.
MEG216: Thanks Dash, what's with all the sweet talk?
DASH109: I just thought I'd say what was on my mind.
MEG216: If only we all could do that.
DASH109: Still having problems at work?
MEG216: I think I hold my tongue when I shouldn't but blurt when I should hold it in.
DASH109: Did you say something wrong to your boss again?
MEG216: Nothing that came off the wrong way, I just wish I could tell my mom off the same way and live to tell the story.
DASH109: Oh, I see. Well maybe the right time will come someday.
MEG216: Hopefully that someday will be soon, I'm tired of dodging behind corners and having lunch in construction zones.
DASH109: Why are you having lunch in construction zones? Are you dating an iron worker?
MEG216: God no! LOL I have no time to date anyone, I was meeting my boss.
DASH109: Should I be jealous?
MEG216: Would you be jealous?
DASH109: I don't know...maybe.
MEG216: Maybe?
DASH109: Well, since I'm speaking honestly Meg, I seem to have grown an attachment for you.
MEG216: Dash....are you trying to say that you have a crush on me? LOL
DASH109: LOL silly isn't it?
MEG216: It's cute, really. I'm blushing.
DASH109: I bet you're cute.
MEG216: Cute isn't something I'd classify myself as...little and scrawny yes, cute? Not really.
DASH109: So you're little then?
MEG216: Were you thinking I wasn't? You seem worried.
DASH109: Not really, no. But everyone has that underlying fear that the person they're developing feelings for but haven't met is some psycho who isn't who they're portraying.
MEG216: I know what you mean, and I have to say there've been instances I've felt the same fear.
DASH109: Rest assured for the most part, I am who I say I am.
MEG216: So you don't have a hundred and nine multiple personalities that I need to worry about?
DASH109: Multiple personalities? LOL, Meg where do you get this stuff?
MEG216: I'm sorry, it's my boss. We talked a little and the topic of you came up, and now he has me paranoid.
DASH109: Sounds like a real idiot, you should be careful, he might have ulterior motives.
MEG216: Doubt it, he is nice and all but...
DASH109: But what?
MEG216: But, for one he's my boss. And two, I have feelings for someone else.
DASH109: Oh I see! Would it be too egotistical of me to assume that other person is me?
MEG216: Maybe...maybe not.
DASH109: J
MEG216: But seriously what does your screen name mean?
DASH109: I'll explain it out thoroughly when we meet.
MEG216: GULP...
DASH109: LOL changing the subject now...
MEG216: Thanks!
DASH109: Tell me something interesting that happened today.
MEG216: We had a bike race today, lots of bloody patients, Christina was happy.
DASH109: Christina? Patients?
MEG216: Crap...too much information.
DASH109: I'm erasing it from memory.
MEG216: Oh what the hell...she's a co-worker of mine, I work in the medical field, and she likes having lots of work to do basically..
DASH109: Interesting...
MEG216: I was helping the last of them, cocky little bloke. And he hopped up and kissed me for good luck.
DASH109: I bet it was a very lucky kiss, I'm a little jealous.
MEG216: LOL don't be, it wasn't anything special and very unwanted. But George saw it.
DASH216: Another co-worker?
MEG216: Yes...so he got the wrong idea of course.
DASH109: That you're being inappropriate with patients?
MEG216: Well also that I'm getting ahead by other means.
DASH109: You're kidding...I thought you weren't getting ahead?
MEG216: Well, I am but I'm not.
DASH109: Please feel free to fill in the blanks.
MEG216: I've been helping my other colleagues get ahead of the game.
DASH109: Why? What about you?
MEG216: That's what George said, and I do because I guess I feel with my mom here and most of the place still hating me that I haven't really got a shot at glory but maybe helping others get theirs will make me feel like I'm doing something important.
DASH109: Meg...
MEG216: I know what you're going to say, and George told me that I should tell my boss what I think is wrong with a patient. He said that I can't give up because the chances are slim.
DASH109: He's right, you have to fight and prove to everyone that you're just as good. If you always stand in the sidelines you'll get too comfortable and you'll never get to shine.
MEG216: Maybe I don't want to shine.
DASH109: Well wanting to or not. If you should be getting the credit and are doing the work, then you deserve to shine Mer.
MEG216: Mer?
DASH109: Oh sorry, typo.
MEG216: Oh ok....
MEG216: So I told my boss what I thought and he said he would check when he had the time, whether he will or not I have no idea.
DASH109: He might, give him a little credit.
MEG216: Weren't you just calling him an idiot?
DASH109: I suppose us idiots need a little slack every now and then.
MEG216: I suppose so.
DASH109: Care for my two cents?
MEG216: I always want your two cents....and then some.
DASH109: I think you need to give yourself a little more credit, you're a smart girl. Don't let people higher up make you think differently.
MEG216: I know, I know what you're saying. But some days I wonder...why even try?
DASH109: You're not a quitter.
MEG216: How do you know that? I could be a big quitter, I could be a total loser, I could be eighty years old for all you know.
DASH109: You're very good with the computer for an eighty year old.
MEG216: Ok maybe I'm not but still..
DASH109: I have faith in you Meg, I really wish you would too.
MEG216: You hold me on a pedestal, I don't deserve your encouragement.
DASH109: I bet you deserve a lot more than you think you do.
MEG216: Does anyone ever? Do you?
DASH109: I don't believe I do no.
MEG216: Well I think you do, I think you're a very charming and great individual and anyone would be lucky to have you in their life.
DASH109: Meg, do you have a crush on me?
MEG216: And the ego strikes again...
DASH109: I'm just asking a question, the ego is put away in the closet.
MEG216: Well a crush sounds a little juvenile but perhaps you could call it that..
DASH109: Meg....I have a crush on you too.
