There are days where I wish I could scan-and-delete stuff in my brain. A mental malware checker, if you will.
Like the mild crush I have on someone I should not be crushing about. It's not a constant crush, just an occasional one. It comes and goes, and today it's back. Darnit.
There is no chance of me doing anything about it - it's one of those situations where both of us could potentially get in trouble. No, he's not married or anything. He's a bit younger than me, and he's a student. And THAT'S where the problem comes in. Staff & students are not to get involved in anything more than a professional relationship. (Though at least one has, and had to fight for it)
It's not the first time in the 10 years I've worked here that I've had a crush on a student. There was another, many years ago. I've worked through it in the past. Gotten beyond it without the other party knowing a thing.
And I'm going to have to do it again... Take a deep breath and refocus. Leave it the heck alone.
