Background Checks Blues

So, as much as I love finding people and doing background checks, and as nice as it is to be in one place for days, and even weeks at a time, I have to say sometimes I miss traveling. My friend Lila just got back from Italy, and I'm soooo jealous! She managed to snag a few days there, and while she was there, she met someone! A fellow tourist, and she's totally gaga about him. So I used this cool find people site to look him up for her--and total bummer! He's married! I don't know what to tell her. Maybe I'll just push how hard long distance relationships are--that's why my ex and I had to call it off. Or maybe I should tell her I didn't have time and let her find him herself? I hate being the bearer of bad news...

Meanwhile, I've been running background checks on all the employees I'm responsible for, and that includes Marketing Guy. I'm pretty nervous to look him up, and have put him on the bottom of my list. Things have just been going so well with him! We're pretty much dating now, but totally on the down low. On one hand, it's really exciting, but on the other, really frustrating! I mean, I work with him so I should get to see him all the time, but because of this stupid policy, we have to go out of our way to avoid each other. Now I have to plan my route around the office to make sure I don't run into him too often, and we have to stagger our lunches so that people won't think we're meeting up on them (which we totally are...okay, so that part is actually really hot). Anyway, found this cool search people site I wanted to share with you all. It was a good distraction while I put off the inevitable...what if Marketing Guy isn't who he says he is? This is why you should always do background checks before you fall for someone....
