Scrappy and beth are wise, among others. You did nothing wrong, he was unprofessional, and it's a good skill to work on. Did he finally leave your driveway? Would be be helpful for you to go somewhere public, like a library or bookstore, until the adrenaline is gone? Shit, if I were still in NC I'd probably get in my car right now and head your way.
Dawn: I thought you were adequate. Giles: And the accolades keep pouring in. I'd best take my leave before my head swells any larger. Good night.

To show how inappropriate he was, remember I got advice from the Buffistas on how to gift a favorite client with something that had no "dating" vibe, to avoid even a hint of flirting. (Matt gave me the winning suggestion of cookies.) So that was really really horribly inappropriate on his part.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Okay, you're right. I will write a letter, and probably hold on to it for a couple days until I feel like I can mail it.
smonster, you're a doll, but I'm okay. I just got shaken up a bit. Appropos of nothing, send me your new address - I found those peacock shoes I promised you a year ago!

Zenkitty, you did nothing wrong. And because it bears repeating, from Amy:
Zen, the thing to remember is, in a professional situation, a good guy is going to know that even if you seem interested, he should give you *his* number and ask you to call him. He would know that taking advantage of having *your* number is not cool. i.e. NOT your fault.

I have to make an Onerous Phone Call, which really isn't onerous at all, but it's pinging all my "you fucked up" buttons. Argh.
I can make phone calls for everyone else, but for me sometimes it's Very Hard.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And to think I could have been watching that instead of footage of babies assaulting pet animals.

Casey Anthony has been found not guilty of first degree murder or aggravated manslaughter, but convicted on four counts of providing false information to a police officer. Unbelievable.

It's JonBenet all over again. If she didn't kill that child, whom she never reported missing for weeks, who the hell did?
