Her name is Kathleen.  I know this not only from her ID badge but also because she came up to me and introduced herself.<\/p>\n<p>Kathleen is in her late 30s or early 40s, attractive, very friendly and married.  I like the fact that she is married as it means that she isn&#8217;t looking for a husband.  She also likes to talk.<\/p>\n<p>Every time I walk out into the lobby, she strikes up a conversation just like we are best friends.  And this is fine except for the fact that the only time that I am in the lobby is when I am headed to the restroom so I usually don&#8217;t talk for very long.  Once, she got so involved in the conversation that she almost followed me into the restroom.<\/p>\n<p>Now, while the front door of our office leads into the lobby, the back door of the office goes into the hallway where the restrooms are located.  When I want to avoid having to chat with Kathleen, I use the back door.  Usually when I use the back door, she doesn&#8217;t see me as her back is towards me.  But, every now and then, she sees me and comes running up to me to say hello.<\/p>\n<p>I don&#8217;t mind talking to her when I have time, but I am extremely busy right now and really can&#8217;t take time to talk every time that I need to use the restroom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We have a new security guard sitting in the lobby of my building.
