The Realities of Miss Bethie

The Most Boring Man in the World...

is interested in me. We had initially sent each other e-mails close to a year ago, I guess. We used to talk once a week. He talks in a dull monotone about banal topics, like his work schedule, or that since he is older (by 11 years) that he is safe, whatever that is supposed to mean.

For the Sci-Fi geeks out there, he looks like Chris Carter, the creator of the X-Files, whom I always found attractive. But Boring-guy (and his real name almost rhymes with "boring") doesn't appear to be creative, funny, interesting in any other way.

He seems very nice, which is important, but there is a lot to be said about charisma and, as I have always said, a sense of humor.

And as though he knows he is boring you, all of a sudden he barks out a word loudly, as if to jar your from your thoughts and back on to whatever he is saying. I am going to attempt to demonstrated what it is like here...

Boring-guy: Hey ... Miss ... Bethie, ... Boring-guy ... here... ... ...Just ... thought ... I ... would ... call ... and ... see ... what ... you're ... up ... to ... today. ... Not ... much ... going ... on ... here. ... Just ... thought ... maybe ... we ... could ... catch ... up, ... maybe ... find ... a ... time ... where ... we ... could ... meet. Anyway, ... that's ... all ... that ... is ... new ... here. ... Like ... I ... said, ... just ... wanted ... to ... touch ... base ... with ... you ... and ... all.

He is intelligent enough, I guess, but he works in a automotive factory, and I think this could be a result of working on an assembly line.
OR...
Maybe he was always like this, and that is why an assembly line is a good place for him to be!

Which came first...the boring job or the boring man?
