As a general rule, I don't discuss my personal life at work- the only things I talk about at work regarding my personal life are my furbabies..
For the last 5 weeks, these student workers (called CLAs) who work for me and others at our University's Career Center have been CONVINCED that I have a boyfriend and have been driving me NUTS regarding this. They actually met about this and discussed me!?! They have been asking me almost EVERY DAY!!
Originally when they brought this up with me, I asked them why they thought this and they presented me with this silly theory they have.
They said they noticed about 5 weeks ago, that I had started leaving work EARLY or on time instead of working late which I am well known for doing.
I also have started buying lunches in the food court everyday instead of bringing lunches from home - they think that means I must be too busy at nights with my boyfriend to prepare lunches!
I have that "in love" glow on my face (DUH, I had been STRESSED out in Feb due to coordinating an Internship & Job Fair and after that was over, I felt so RELIEVED! That's why I have a glow on my face! LOL)
A guy- ADAM- has been coming to my office a lot and leaving with me (He's a married guy with a pregnant wife! He gets rides from me because his car is having problems).
Originally when they asked me this, I refused to comment on this saying this is my personal business (I did point out that Adam catches rides from me and that he's happily married)but they have been nagging at me almost every day trying to find out WHO it is, etc...
Once I finally got fed up and told one CLA that NO I DIDN'T have a boyfriend and she immediately said I was lying and I said "That's why I didn't say anything in the first place because no matter what I say you guys will believe what you want!" Jeez.
They also actually had the nerve to mention this to my boss!! He finds this hilarious and have told them that they need to get a life!
Yesterday was the first day back from the Spring Break for students and within half an hour of working, the CLA's were at it again. One CLA asked me how my cats were with my new "guest". At first, I was totally lost and asked what the heck he was talking about. He said "NICE TRRYYY!!!" I asked if he meant Tango who I recently adopted and he said "NO! I said how are the CATS taking to your NEW GUEST!?" I have NO idea where they got the idea that I am having a guest now
(I think he was implying that this "boyfriend" was staying with me)!
Yesterday afternoon for over an hour, THREE CLA's kept sending me msgs via AIM asking about this boyfriend!!! I had told Adam about this and he has seen some of their behavior and he wants me to get back at them so here's what we are doing..
SWEET REVENGE...
I've decided to add a poll here to see if other people have had similar experiences regarding this so please vote!
