I've been researching St. Louis bankruptcy laws for this client for so long that I actually think I have them all memorized by now! I've been so busy with work that I had to turn down my date with that guy. I could tell he was really disappointed about it. I hope he could tell I was pretty disappointed about it too. I asked him if I could take a rain check on the evening, so we'll see. I kind of regretted telling him why I was saying no. I thought it would help to explain, but what must he be thinking? I turned down a beautiful evening out with him so I could research St. Louis bankruptcy laws? He must be thinking that's such an insult. In fact it practically sounds like a lie! I mean, who says stuff like that? It's just that this client has given me so much time to do this project already. It really shouldn't be taking me this long. If I'd spent less time during the week daydreaming about this guy and more time on this assignment like I was supposed to, I could be going out with him. I just hope I didn't entirely blow my chances with this guy for good!
