Mr. Job Shadow

Yesterday, a BYU student came to Datamark and did a job shadow with me all day and as usual, it was quite the experience. When HR approached me about this I said sure, but had no idea what it would be like. How do I make my job seem important? What if they are that person that sits at the front of class and kissed up to the professor after class? I hate and made fun of that person in college.

At about 9:15, the receptionist called asking if some guy with a hot British accent was coming to job shadow me because he was lost and running late. She quickly asked me not to tell him her comments, but she hoped he kept calling because his voice was sexy. This made me excited for the day.

As I rounded the corner to greet him at the front desk, I was nervous and then there he was....tall, dark, handsome, and smelling very fine. On top of all this, his accent was great!

We went back to my desk and started making small talk.

Lindsay - Are you almost done with school?
Hot Accent Guy - I have about 3 semesters left
Lindsay - What brought you to the states?
Hot Accent Guy - My girlfriend wanted to go to BYU. Actually, she is my fiancée.
Lindsay (inside her head) - you are now dead to me

We went about the day, he asked some great questions, I made up lame answers and that was that. Really, I wanted to ask if we could go to my house to have him read Harry Potter out loud to me, but I thought that may be a little awkward for him.

My favorite part of the day was watching all the other girls check him out not knowing he was taken.

Just another day in paradise.

What the weird!

Just want to let you know that after awhile that accent thing really gets old. I lived with people that had what people call a "cool accent" and I can not tell you how much several of us craved to be back in America with the American accent.

I'm still jealous that I missed Hot Accent Guy. I bet he beat the tar out of Fake Accent Guy.
Matthew, don't rain on their parade. . it's like when we were 14 and thought N'Sync was hot and every guy had to say that they were gay in small hopes of making our opinions change. The accent rocks.
