My new office featured a grand relocation; I am now seated amongst a bunch of quiet workaholics.<\/p>\n
We were having lunch with newfound colleagues who usually sat at the other end of the office. Somebody cracked a joke, and I laughed.<\/p>\n
“Eh, your laugh is like Lisa’s!<\/i>” (Names changed to protect privacy.)<\/p>\n
“Oh really? I’ve never heard her laugh before even though she sits opposite me. She’s always busy at work.<\/i>”<\/p>\n
“You know, this means something! You guys are meant to be! Fated! No other people I know laugh the same way!<\/i>”<\/p>\n
Fortunately, Cupid never shot any arrows in our direction.<\/p>\n
I know someone who eats Indomee the exact same way I do, and we share the same preference for food and have the same food allergies. Does Cupid shoot?<\/p>\n
No.<\/p>\n
Why?<\/p>\n
While it would be cute, it would eventually be too horribly cutesy for everyone, the way we do everything alike.<\/p>\n
(…though an opposite-like couple can still be horribly cutesy, heh.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
