I have had numerous requests lately about our infamous office affair. I did slack on updates, mostly because I lose interest and also I have such a short attention span on things.
Anyway, Cheater Girl and Cheater Guy broke up a few months ago. It happened, coincidentally, just after Cheater Guy got married. Fancy that! They seemed to be having difficulties before that anyway. They could be heard sniping at each other a lot just before his wedding. I'm not really sure what was wrong with their relationship or why Cheater Girl would be so upset. She, being already married anyway. They had such a beautiful thing going too. It's so sad to see relationships end prematurely.
One day after Cheater Guy had returned from his 2 week honeymoon, they were in the back of the office area in our little kitchen place and started yelling at each other. It was funny. Cheater Girl can get hysterical anyway, but this really got her going. She was yelling at him that he had promised (something) and the he was a liar and that she had treated him well yada yada yada.... She actually had too. She was always feeding him something or helping him get projects done. Occasionally he would mumble something back but we were too far away to hear him. We heard her just fine. They definitely went out in a blaze of glory. Soon after, he transferred to another position and he rarely comes into this building anymore.
The best part is that Cheater Girl found another 'diversion' rather quickly. A guy was hired that one of our co-workers swore had to be from North Jersey. (I believe he was from New Jersey somewhere.) She said he was so stereotypical of guys from there. He always wore these 70's looking, big collared shirts with the top 2-3 buttons unbuttoned. He never tucked his shirts in. They just hung down around his waist. His hair looked so much like John Travolta did in Saturday Night Fever that I wondered if he did it on purpose. He talked like he was a disco dude too. Always pointing and/or winking and saying "Hey man! How's it hangin?" Stuff like that. When our co-worker saw that he drove a beat up old Camaro, she was convinced that he was North Jersey. Karen, help us out here. Is this what you have to put up with?
The guy was strange. He was going through some kind of financial crisis and would sit and talk loudly on his phone to someone, presumably a lawyer, about his filing for bankruptcy. He would have loud arguments with his ex-wife about visitation and how he couldn't afford this and that. Totally broadcasting all his personal stuff in an area that has little to no privacy. Weird.
Soon Disco Dude and Cheater Girl were talking. Being 2 fairly unpopular people anyway, it was probably natural that they did. Next thing you see, she's taking loooong lunches with him and his Camaro. They are walking around the building for no real reason. They are huddled in one or the others' cube whispering and giggling. Cheater Girl, being the discreet intelligent babe she is, would sometimes mention in public that they had seen each other over the weekend. It was kinda gross.
Alas, that didn't last too long either. Disco Dude and Cheater Girl were in their boss' office one day and they were arguing with him about something. Then the boss started actually yelling at DD and told him he didn't want to hear his crap anymore. Next thing you know, Disco put in his notice and quickly disappeared from sight.
Cheater Girl is still here. She’s still the same obnoxious person. She just doesn’t talk much to anyone anymore. No one really minds either.
So there you have it. Sorry I was lax in updating all this. It probably would have been much better had I done it in real time. If anything like this ever happens again, I promise to try and be better about it.
