Antiwork

A few days ago I posted something about that I knew I'm going to get fired because I'm going to ask out the co-worker. I already had another job lined up. A lot of you armchair dating coaches told me how stupid I was and to post an update and here it is. I asked her for her number and didn't tell her why I wanted her number, I told her it was for professional reasons. At that very moment, I panicked.
