Crush

My big Crush. It's lasted about six years now. When I met him, he was married. I won't mess with a married guy. I just admired him from a distance. He's so cool. He makes everyone laugh, and nothing ever got to him. If it did, you never knew it. He's always kind and helpful.

I worked with him. Once I had a rough customer with the email and he took over the call for me. When someone has you back like that in the tech support trenches you don't forget.

Chapter 10: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sr. Hierba de Trigo

by Christi

We three looked at one another.

Hector spoke, "That's what we're trying to do! We know where he is. We're trying to bust him outta prison."

"What prison?" He didn't trust us.

"He ticked off the cartel in Colombia. They sent him to a prison of theirs, in El Salvador."

Geek Recognition

Just a quick dialogue.

Endless coffee? Slacker dress code? It has to be something but we recognize our own! Most of the time. 

If you're a techie you know you've had a moment like this:

"You used to do tech support, didn't you," I told him. But I already knew.

"Yeah! How'd you know?!" he asked, incredulous.

"I know my people," I said, cool, unruffled. But bubbling with anticipation 'neath the surface.
