For some unknown reason–and I’m definitely not complaining–the campus here at work seems particularly overrun today by hot young men. There’s never really a shortage of cute guys here–the new foreign service officer classes generally seem to include a good percentage–but today it was like an explosion of beefcake, a few of whom even turned out for their classes in shorts, the only thing that makes DC summers bearable. The two new contractors who joined my web team today are very attractive; one is particularly pleasant eye candy, with an intense and striking gaze. In the cafeteria today at noon, I nearly got whiplash from the presence of nice-looking men all around me. Finally, on the way across the quad from the cafeteria back to my office, I even was cruised by a very attractive blond twenty-something.

This latter actually came at a particularly welcome moment; just a short while earlier, I’d received a Nerve email newsletter that included this gayboi’s personal ad, in reaction to which I was feeling like a toad. But then I turned someone’s head today, too, and all is now right with the world.
