I did just say that

Yes, I did

I did tell a fellow co-worker I thought he was cute. Now I know I didn't really want to go to work today after a week of vacation. But apparently I was so school-girl giddy about having a week of vacation to myself that my guard was down all day. I was relaxed, not the least bit edgy or defensive. My week was for ME and I deserved it and thoroughly enjoyed it. Apparently the euphoria rolled into today as well. Many folks commented about my more than usual jovial self. As opposed to the often prickly nature I can exude on occasion. But at the end of the day, nothing caught me more off kilter than explaining a situation to a colleague (who is aware that I am gay by the way) and revealing to him that the general consensus about him was that he is cute. Which by, his thoroughly blood red blushing face conveyed, that consensus included in part - me. I'm normally very reserved at work about such things. I have no idea what got into me to blurt that out the way I did, but only as a part of the conversation at hand. But golly...

Well shit yeah, he's cute. And I did have a nice personal vacation.
