Update on my overly-friendly, handsy pharmaceutical rep.

She's moving to California to be with her family.

I will no longer have to duck and cover when she shows up to the clinic.



She did some good things in her time. She got our clinical Hepatitis C program up and running. She gave us all the info we need to make sure our Hep C patients have the treatment they need.

But her undivided attention was always a little unnerving...

She touched my arm a couple of times during our final visit an hour ago. Then she jumped up, and said "Give me a hug!"

I did. I managed to keep it to 'one-Mississippi'. Then she made her goodbyes.

She was nice. But I wish her well...

To be recited with a thick accent:

First I do Emma
Then do me
Then I do 2 asses
Then I do me
The I do 2 asses again
Them me again
Then I Pee twice
Then I do me again

... one perhaps not unmixed with a twinge of regret. Best this way, though, counter-factuals are always more fun than reality.

Be interesting if they aim another one at you.

It was a bit of an ego boost to be the object of that kind of attention. Especially since I went throughout my adolescent apparently slathered in girl-repellent.

I'm much less socially awkward now, closing in on fifty, than I was then. I'm more at ease around attractive women too, no doubt due to my lovely wife.

But the pharma rep's effusive attentions made me a little uneasy.

I'm glad she's moving on...
