My first day at the office was really quite a disaster, but I won't go into that; what was interesting was the female worker there.
By all accounts should could be the best woman I have ever met: or perhaps many women are like that, and I would realize this if I actually met women on a frequent basis.
Physically she is dark-haired, lithe, of a handsome countenance and sexually attractive.
She is totally cool and normal: an extrovert, confident on the phone, very friendly, bubbly, laughs and smiles and talks in a jovial Scottish accent, and YET - here is the amazing thing - she is an IT expert! More so than me! You can imagine how shocked I was to see a woman - who is by all accounts extremely trendy and very normal, if not above normal - being so knowledgeable about such a geeky subject!
Not only that but she smokes; and I have long held the opinion that sexually attractive women become even more sexy when they pop a cig in their mouths and draw in a lungful of smoke. I love to watch the long fingers gingerly gripping the white shaft of the cigarette, and the sweet, soft lips wrapped around the browny-orange filter.
All things considered, I came to realize that I am subhuman. This realization of intense inferiority always creeps up on me when I am in the presence of others. She even made me coffee; and all I did was sit on my fat ass all day long and hallucinate.
Above normal?
Sorry, the phrase just tickles me.
