Also, I watched the docs on the Jon Benet Ramsey so now I'm an expert... that note looks like it's written by two different people.   Just saying.

Looking further at the note, for all we know, that writing probably looks more like Jim than Tim.  Maybe, she's asking for Jim instead?

I think the 'if yes' and 'Emily' were added after the initial cursive for sure. Whether or not it was her just noticing she should clarify, hats the question.

I had planned to fulfill El Barto's prophecy and wait exactly 17 days to post in this thread. However, developments and such...

So I went to the high school to meet her for brownies. Classes were getting out and kids were everywhere, so I wondered why the hell she would pick such a place to meet. I texted her that I had arrived and she said "ok, grabbing from fridge. I'm in the green shirt" Oh. She works at the school. Makes sense.

After a minute or so of perusing the crowd I saw a green-shirted girl carrying a plate.
Oh. Shit. I recognized her.

[FLASHBACK]
I was the "next up" rep, so I was waiting by the door. The next customers headed toward the store were an elderly woman and a dumpy little girl of about 18 I could only assume was her granddaughter. I helped her sign up for a GoPhone plan and sold her grandmother on DirecTV, so I signed her up for that as well. I like to build rapport with my customers as any good person/salesperson should do, so we had some small talk after I closed the sale and before they ultimately went on their way.

They came in for a separate issue a few weeks later, but they worked with another rep because I was busy when they arrived. The rep helped them with whatever their issue was, and walked them out the door. As he passed me, he said "her grandmother thinks you have eyes for her granddaughter."

whatthefuck.jpg

My buddy in line behind me laughs. "Tim, you should totally hit it."
"Dude, she looks like a troll!"
"So?"
"So I don't want to have to answer a riddle every time I cross a bridge with her!"

He laughed, I laughed, our day went on.

[END FLASHBACK]

It was the granddaughter from my previous interactions. I took the brownies, we said our hellos, made some small tank, and she left to go do her babysitting thing.

[LATER THAT NIGHT]

Text from her:
"Tim, I'm starting to lose faith in AT&T."
Of course, I waited until the next day when I'm on the clock to respond to her, and then I asked why. She explained her issue and I helped resolve it.

Then this:


So I let her know we would credit the account.

Then this:

I TOOK BROWNIES FROM HER. SHE HAS THE HOTS FOR ME AND I TOOK BROWNIES FROM HER.

You better check that eating a troll's brownies isn't an agreement to marriage or something.

I'm totally confused here.  You work at the AT&T store, but hang around high schools hoping to pick up dumpy 18-year-olds (which is creepy, but legal I think since she's 18) who bring you brownies?  Or was it the trollish grandmother?  The grandmother works at the school and has the hots for you, so she brought brownies?  In that case, why mention the granddaughter at all?  That's kinda creepy (but legal I think since she's 18).  Unless it was just to mention that she's kinda dumpy-looking, which isn't very nice but if you were just including that detail as part of the story then I guess it's okay.  Still confused tho.

Nearly all this went through my head while reading.

Who was in the green smock, the grandmother or the dumpy granddaughter? I think we should be told.

Sorry. It was the granddaughter. Fixed the flashback for clarity. It was late when I wrote it, but now I see how the confusion came about.

Also, it's okay for me to call her dumpy-looking, because I'm dumpy-looking too.

So what I'm gathering from this is you feel you've led her to believe you are interested in her by taking her brownies yet you really aren't interested....So you've found yourself in a conundrum? Is that it?

Also, they say a Cub Scout only becomes a Boy Scout once he eats his first Brownie. :eyebrows:

I would strongly suggest not eating those brownies unless you are in a safe place with safe people to watch over you. Possibly have a doctor on hand.

Agreed.  And wait until after your next mandatory drug-test at work.

Alternatively, you could text her back and mention her grand-parents came in for some kind of assistance, and you were enough to share some of the brownies with them.  Her reaction will reveal all you need to know.

I just don't understand what they were trying to achieve with any part of the song, either individually or as a whole. You know what? It's the Platypus of Dream Theater songs. That bill doesn't go with that tail, or that strange little furry body, or those webbed feet, and oh god why does it have venomous spurs!? And then you find out it lays eggs too. The difference is that the Platypus is somehow functional despite being a crazy mishmash or leftover animal pieces

Before she quits her job and cashes in her 401k to buy a high end convection oven with which to bake you shit all day, just tell her the truth, that you're not interested. Something to the effect that your being intrigued by the note prompted you to agree to meet her, but that you normally don't do such things; and while very sweet and much appreciated, you're not available to date. Or something to that effect.
