I called the office and got Ben's phone number. Then I called him and asked him if he wanted to have dinner. I've never had so much moxie - but he said yes! My dad had some papers he was going to overnight to Tampa so I offered to take them. I used that as my excuse to go up there.

My dinner with Ben is tonight. I know he has a girlfriend and I'm not going to pursue him in a romantic way. I just want another friend at work - you know, someone who doesn't sing all day. :)
