Man Unsure If It Was Really A "Date"
by Patrick Kirk Gillock

Chesterville, WA - Rob Jenkins (26) is confused if his recent outing with a co-worker was a "date" or an "after work thing?" Rob confided in his friend Paul by saying "I mean, it felt like a date... but it was on a Monday. What the hell does that mean?"

Since the five day work week was introduced over one hundred years ago society has deemed Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays as "date days" and anything else as an "after-work-thing". "I'm afraid it might have been an after-work-thing." said Paul. Rob replied, "But you weren't there man. We walked along the beach and talked about deep stuff... like life, work, other places we worked, and... and.... a project we're both working on."

Since Rob started at Phillips & Loh, over six months ago, they have gone out "after-work" eleven times. "I've tried arranging something for a Friday or Saturday but she always has some good excuse. No wait, there was one time we went out on a Friday night... but it was an office party. And I'm pretty sure she brought a date."

Paul, curious to find out more, asked, "Who pays for things on these outings? I mean, do you both pay?" Rob replied, "Yea, we both pay. Wait! There was this one time when my credit card didn't go through... so she took care of mine. That might have been a date."
