Thankfully, there wasn't much of a change. We just got four more people added to the same team.
The new people added to my team were all from the same batch. One guy and three girls. Didn't really look at the girls when they walked in. I was just looking at the guy. The guy was particularly quirky. He had on an oversized tie dye shirt with a heart design on it, baggy pants and a huge orange bonnet with a puffy ball dangling on each side of his head. Despite all this, the first thought that came into my head was that, "He's cute".
The four came in at a later schedule than the rest of the team. The original team came in at 1 am, and the new people came in at 2 am. They walked in as a group and tried to sit together. However, this was a challenge since the current/previous team already got scattered along the bay. So they got to sort of sit together, but not really. 2 of them got to sit together while the other two had to separate themselves just to find a seat.
They sat at their chosen stations somewhat close to each other and we had a quick introduction.
The guy had a cool name, Cedrick. It was one of those things that just clicked in my head. Sounds cool so it's good enough for me. "I like his name", I thought. The guy was a skateboarder too. While he was introducing himself, he also mentioned that he was 22 years old.
I guess I had an inkling of a crush on him at that time because he's cute, has a name I like and he's a skateboarder. But I just left it as a thought. I can't have a crush on a direct report. Right?
