It was my first day at my new job and there were a small bunch of us all sitting in a mini boardroom getting the introductory talk. I was already tuning out by the time the HR woman got started telling us about the pension plan so I started to doodle on my notepad.
I had drawn a bunch of circles my pad when, without warning, the guy next to me leaned over and drew an X's and O's grid on the page. I looked up at him and he smiled with his geeky grin. We played about 6 games (all of which I won) before the HR woman finished and I finally introduced myself to Jerrold, my X's and O's partner.
It turned out that our desks were right next to each other and before the day ended he asked me out for a drink after work. The evening went so well that - well, we were both a little late for work the next morning.
Two years later, I'm his boss and he's my husband. Go fugue how things work out :)

I guess I'm a bit of a weirdo. Based on the title, I thought you were going to draw naughty pictures about the HR rep

That is such a cute story. It's organic situations like this one that make for the very best relationships. Congrats!

I actually met my hubby about 15 years ago on the first day of work but in that case he was the guy from Human Resources. He took notice when while helping me fill in the intake forms and realized that I was single and new in town.
