grace

About 3 years ago, Jobber and I sort of dated when he was struggling to figure out what he wanted to do with his life. The military disappointed the ex-captain and he was about to start his MBA. At the time, his employment prospects looked grim cuz the only thing he could nab was working for an elevator construction company. Fast forward. Now, he's an investment banker.

Jae asked me to hook him up with i-bankers and finally I did. I had a hard time trying to figure out how to appeal to his good graces without sounding phony or despicable. One good thing about Haepee is that because of her, I had to log in to Friendster. Being bored and waiting for her to get back to me led to catching up with all the updated profiles of "friends." As soon as I saw his, I wondered if I should go for it and ask him if he'd consider talking to Jae. He overlooked us -- not that I meant very much to him --, and graciously imparted advice for Jae. For that, he is the better person. I'm still contemplating treating him to a nice meal but I wonder if it's overdoing it. It'd be so fake and he'll see through it too -- not to mention, it'll be awkward. But as the recipient of benevolence, I guess I'll have to just try.
