I have a new crush in Capitol Hill. It’s this guy I used to see every so often around my office building downtown. I assume that he is a deliverer of sorts, since I’d always see him coming out of random buildings. The only reason I noticed him in the first place was because once upon a time, we used to have a payroll company that used bike messengers to deliver our paychecks. And our bike messenger was cute cute cute and I looked forward to his delivery every two weeks.
But then we stopped using that payroll company, so I never saw him again but every time I saw my current crush, I’d think it was the original and I’d pray that I looked presentable.
So this new guy is a really severe-looking and smaller version of the original crush. And here is what I know about him:
1. His backpack and locations spotted suggest that he delivers things (documents, checks?) around downtown and Capitol Hill. But I’ve never seen him on a bike, which makes me wonder how he gets around fast enough to make him worth employing over a bike messenger.
2. He wears the same thing every day, or at least every time I see him.
3. He likes crossword puzzles. I know this because I ran into him on the #49 bus and he was completing one.
I will keep you posted on further developments.
