Surrealist Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Look what this poor guy has to endure lol. I actually know the girl this article refers to as 'Olivia', she works in my Dept. Lesson here to be learned. Do NOT attempt to find a date using email to colleagues. Seriously though I think the PC is ridiculous here and the news is spreading like wildfire across all the major news outlsets. But then what kind of person would resort to such measures? But yet again, at least the girl will have little doubt he is interested. Here's a couple of links: http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/search-for-olivia-becomes-a-public-service-20101115-17ufd.html http://www.news.com.au/technology/lovesick-department-of-immigration-employee-steve-tucker-in-email-strife/story-e6frfro0-1225954117849 http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news/lovelorns-email-may-cost-him-his-job/story-e6freuy9-1225954148461
GorillaTheater Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 Funny story. Gotta ask: what does "Olivia" think about all this? Did she get him her contact info?
Author Surrealist Posted November 15, 2010 Author Posted November 15, 2010 All I understand at this stage is that she is aware of the situation and the ensuing attention. Whether she has responded to her seeker I dont know.
810 Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 lovely. stories like this reinforce the book He's just not that into you
xpaperxcutx Posted November 15, 2010 Posted November 15, 2010 The poor guy... in hopes of getting a date, he'll probably get fired in the process...
JungleLover Posted November 16, 2010 Posted November 16, 2010 Funny story. Gotta ask: what does "Olivia" think about all this? Did she get him her contact info? It says in the first link that "Olivia" told 3AW reporters through a friend that she doesn't recall meeting Steve and that she has no desire to meet him. Poor sucker. He's been watching too many sappy romantic comedies.
