I don't like that sentence. At all.
I'm not saying I'm not personable; I am. I chat. *A LITTLE BIT* But I am not going out with them unless we are "like that."
It happened at work today. I'm temping for a nonprofit and one of the interns is leaving today. So they are (as we speak) having a goodbye lunch for her. I didn't want to go, so I didn't go. I thought EVERYBODY in the office was going. So I come back from the bank, and the other Black lady is still in the office. She said she didn't want to be bothered so she didn't go. So I started thinking, the only people that didn't go were the Black women. Why is that? But I guess Chambers hit it on the head.
This is an idea that is going to take some getting used to. Some people you click with off the jump. Some people you don't.
