Super confusing.

Update on the "Guys are so confusing" post.

So that same co-worker IM'd me today (I'm usually the one IMing him to remind him of certain things) asking if he could help on anything. After a while, a bunch of people bombarded me with all sorts of requests, and because today was a super slow day, I had him input and verify some of my the incoming wires, which is my primary job. And long story short, I end up telling him how to do everything since he hasn't really done it since I last taught him, which was a long time ago. And then I ask him to do an extra few steps, which he then says, "Want me to wax your car with it?" or something like that and I ignore him for a while, since I was busy. And then he says something like the wise ass response was supposed to be yes, and dress my tires as well. Like I'm supposed to know that. And then sarcastically, I say "Yes please, and clean my room and make me food as well" sarcastically. And surprisingly, he replies something like "If that's your way of asking me out, I'm cool with it. But just know I go big." Something like that. I wasn't expecting that.
And then he got annoyed at me because I forgot something, but then I found out he was mistaken. Whew.

Sidenote, my manager just came back from vacation and he used to work at this one company so he has connections, so we all got new keyboards. I'm a pretty tall person. More on that my third grade story later. And when tall people try to fit under a table, it ain't the cutest thing in the world. Bumps here and there, it's pretty tiring. Believe me, I know. So I'm trying to unplug my old keyboard and install my new keyboard in the computer, and I bump here and there, fall a few times, and finally get the thing to work. He then asks if I'm good, okay, that sort of language at least three times. Yeah, it was painfully tiring (literally).

So then we have this competition between a few of our company's teams. Our team didn't end up winning, but that's beside the point. Since he's usually the first one to get here, he left around 5 PM, and got changed (according to him) and came back to see the competition. This is the part it gets a bit cringey.

So he comes to the event in like jeans and a button up and converse. Lucky. But hey, I don't really want to get up at 6 AM and go to work at 7 AM. Anyways, I'm like in a group almost with my co-workers and he and my manager (who also happens to arrive at the same time) walk up and say hi. He then stands next to me and my other co-worker, and while my other co-worker gets food, we kinda just stand there really awkwardly cuz we don't know what to say to each other.

A few minutes pass by and I really don't wanna finish my ice cream (it was too sweet) and I didn't like the gummy worms in it, so I asked if he wanted it, since he tends to snack on sour straws a lot. At first he wanted it, but I guess he thinks he might be allergic to strawberry (there was strawberry ice cream on the bottom). That was probably the only conversation we had the entire time.
