I have corrupted an innocent ... my work is done!

[dizzojay]

A new IT guy started at my work a couple of months ago; a sweet techie type with a touch of the Sheldon Cooper about him.

Sitting in the board room with him last week waiting for a meeting to start we were chatting and the subject got onto TV, and I just happened to mention - guess what - Supernatural.

"Oh, awesome show," says he.

My ears pricked up.

"So, who's your favourite Winchester?" he asked.

"Well, if course I'm a Dean girl,"

"Good choice," he grinned.

I couldn't help a knowing smile; "oh yeah?  We got a little bit of a man-crush going on here then?"

"Could have," he smirked.

Then we briefly got onto the subject of the conventions before the boring farts from the payroll software company turned up and spoiled our delightful little exchange.

The following morning, he strolled into my office and asked if I could send him some information about the convention in Birmingham because he's talked to his girlfriend over night and she was really up for it, so I sent him the link to the Rogue website.

He came to see me again this morning; he's booked his tickets to Asylum 13.

Welcome to the dark side, my friend!

ha ha awesome! I foresee many an hour wasted at the water cooler (or equivalent) in your office now!

Oh yes, it's already begun - I made him say 'sonofabitch!' the other day :)

YES!! *fist bump* You recruited another one (or two, from the sound of it)!

I imagine there's nothing like having a fellow fan around to make going to work that much more fun. Wait a while, then show him the mini dolls ... ;)

Yay, it will be nice because most people I work with think I'm a bit nuts.

They're probably right, mind you ;)

'mundanes' - I like that :)

It's actually a phrase from City of Bones, but I adopted it for anyone who isn't remotely fandom orientated ;) or ya know, geeky in any way :)

How so very awesome that you ran into someone at work that loves SPN. I always do love running into the random person that watches and enjoys the show. Most of the time when someone asks me the name of our fave show they always get this puzzled look on their faces - they've never heard of it, let alone the network that the Show is on. So, I always do love it when we run across others that watch the show.

We just recently hired someone here at my office. She was looking at something on my computer and she glanced over and noticed a picture I have of me and Jensen. She first asked if that was my son. I laughed, then she got a closer look and exclaimed 'That's Dean!' I was shocked that she knew who he was, let alone the character. She and her boyfriend watch the show, although not as avidly as I do, but they have seen every episode. I thought that was cool.

Cool!

I love that she thought he was your son - imagine having the genetic material to produce that kind of perfection!
