A Work Crush

The museum I work at was open yesterday for Martin Luther King, Jr Day however the staff offices were closed in honor of the holiday.  When the offices are closed, we have one or two staff members work as the "Manager On Duty" and yesterday I had volunteered to be that person.  It was a great day to get caught up on a lot of those little things that normally get pushed to the back burner as well as to connect with museum volunteers and the security department without the usual interruptions that pop up during a normal day.

At the end of the day I was chatting with one of the security officers who looped me in that another member of the security team is interested in me.  As in, seriously interested in me.  As in, has commented about said interest to his fellow members of the security team.  Yet out of respect for this co-worker of ours, the security officer I was talking to didn't mention which security officer exactly this is.

The museum I work at, like many museums, has security cameras all over the building that the security team monitors throughout the day.  Said security officer with an interest in me has noticed where I'm at throughout the day.  Apparently once, a time that I don't even remember, I had a blonde moment and tripped a bit over my own two feet.  I was totally fine yet this security officer was ready to jump up to come help me.

I am flattered.  I am intrigued.  I want to know who he is.  Yet I'm also nervous.  Who is he?  Is he someone I'm interested in?  I'll admit to having an interest in one guy in particular but I'm not confident enough that he's the one with an interest in me.

What if he's not someone I'm interested in?  What if we go out a few times and it doesn't work out?  What if everyone in the office knows about it and it becomes a big topic of discussion among the rest of the staff?

There's so much potential but also so many what-ifs!
