I'm the Only Normal Person in the World

---

I became a language teacher so that maybe, just maybe, I wouldn't spend the rest of my life fixing other people's computers. Tomorrow I reinstall Windows on a student's laptop.

I've told him twice that a clean install will wipe off any existing data and programs - including emails, passwords and ISP connection programs. He smilingly told me it wasn't a problem - a sure sign that he doesn't quite grasp what losing all data means, and will blame me when some document isn't there afterwards.

And later on, a comrade has been getting warnings of viruses on her system, so possibly the same sequence of events again. And I predict a telephone call around midday from a different comrade who's trying to read his email online.

Perhaps I should have been a motor mechanic. They don't get acquaintances phoning them up at work asking if they could possibly drop round to replace the big end. Or do they?

There's straight guy I've been sucking off every so often for several years now. The last time was last week, so the next one might be in two weeks, or two months, but it'll come. So to speak.

Last night I had an unexpected encounter with a fellow of around twenty. It's not often you get to chat before or after sex, and it's vanishingly rare to think "I really like this person and I'd like to have them as a friend even if I never, erm, have them again", but that's what happened.

So I mentioned it to my straight guy - not the friendly feeling, just the gropey feeling.

He's jealous.

A bloke who thinks about female pornstars while I do what female pornstars do...is jealous that I had sex with someone he wouldn't want to have sex with. A man who is slightly ambivalent about the fact that I have a penis...is jealous that someone else enjoyed it.

Is it me or is that odd?

PS. It wasn't raining.
