00:12Okay, so what happened?
00:13Bad idea.
00:14Or were you approached by one?
00:15I've been approached by co-workers, but again, I have that rule about not dating within my
00:20industry, so it just didn't go anywhere.
00:23I dated someone who worked in the same building, and when we broke up, I love him, he's a
00:28great guy, but we had to see each other all the time.
00:31Look at that pit, like, don't poop where you eat.
00:34Yeah, it was horrible.
00:37He doesn't work there anymore, thank God, but there was just no, I didn't have, there was
00:42no off with him.
00:43He just always wanted to talk or go to lunch or whatever.
00:46And sometimes I really don't want to talk because I work at a radio station.
00:50Right.
00:51All we do is talk.
00:52Right.
00:53So I'm tired, I don't want to talk to you for a reason.
