Confessions of a Slacker
2017-01-17 00:00:00 (UTC)

A bit melancholy…

Maybe it’s time to forget about the two guys I’ve been crushing on and move on.

Still haven’t seen hide nor hair of Carl… and now Patrick hasn’t been around in awhile, either. I was hoping I’d heard wrong, but I thought I overheard a conversation between two librarians last week and one of them was saying something about Patrick no longer working at the library… or maybe not even living here anymore. (It’s hard to eavesdrop when people twenty feet away are speaking in hushed tones!)

I had previously overheard Patrick and another librarian talking about he and his “girlfriend” (looks like it’s true, alas) looking into buying some rural property somewhere and raising chickens.

Here in the Northeast Ohio area? Or back to Boston? Or western New York State where her family apparently lives? Or somewhere else entirely?

Again, I’m not entirely sure that I heard right.

But… I saw neither hide nor hair of Patrick either Sunday or Monday evening this week… and those are the times I’m most likely to see him at the library.

Come to think of it, I’ve only seen him here once since New Year’s Day… and didn’t get to talk to him. Last brief conversation we had was when we both wished each other Happy New Year… on New Year’s Eve afternoon.

I’ll keep my eyes and ears open…
