Related: Culture Forums, Support ForumsUpdate 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...

Be interesting if they aim another one at you.

(66,369 posts)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...
