I Invented a New Emoticon
So there is this boy that I have a
crush on, and I get teased endlessly at work about it because he's a
client. I haven't worked with him directly much, but I finally had
reason to email him several weeks ago, and I worded it very carefully and
professionally so as not to reveal that I'm hot for him. I introduced
myself and included some "in case you don't remember me" lines and
alluded that I worked closely with Leslie, who he has worked with quite
a bit and knows pretty well. Then I asked him for the favor that I
needed, and he responded with this email:
Two minutes later, Leslie appears on the IM:
So there it is, people...the new emoticon of the moment. The "I'm grumpy and have something in my eye":
;(

For you Leslie... absolutely!
;)
Two minutes later, Leslie appears on the IM:
L: I
think he's flirting with you!
H: But he said "for you Leslie". ??? Does he think I'm you?
L: But then he put the funny WINKY face in, so you know he's joking. And WINKING at you. He's WINKING at you, Halee!!
H: But if he thought I was you, then technically he's WINKING at YOU. ;(
H: (can you do a winky/frownie...is that socially acceptable?)
L: *sigh** He doesn't think you're me, Halee.
L: (I think a winky/frownie means you have something in your eye.)
