Everyone has heard about the government cutbacks, everyone it would appear except Alysson. Alysson is a teacher, in fact she is the ICT co-ordinator for a primary school I work with.
I'm an IT technician with a bigger school. Alysson had made a massive request for a piece of software to run on the whole network. The software was expensive, complicated to configure and of what was generally perceived by management to be of a benefit not commensurate with the expense in terms of outlay, or man power to install.
I had been given the delightful task of meeting with her to persuade her to step back from the software, or to make some concessions to bring the project within an acceptable scale.
There are some things I got told about Alysson that made me look forward to the meeting with interest and with trepidation. Firstly, she was, by repute, very, very attractive in a kirsten dunst kind of way, very natural. Secondly, she was spoken of regularly behind her back, she was referred to as a marriage wrecker, a temptress and often just a downright slut. The word was she had slept with a school inspector to get a better report, she had had a threesome with the former headmistress and her husband to get her spot on the management team, and that she was not above using her body to get anything she wanted; from that better report, to regularly giving the caretaker a blow job to get extra equipment.
With this knowledge I went into the meeting with a list of firm points to ensure I remained focussed and did not give up the senior management's position. We met at 11am in the staff room. We sat across from each other in some arm chairs, hidden from the main room by a partition wall. She was wearing a grey skirt suit, carrying her handbag and jacket, the skirt was mid thigh length and pleated. She opened the meeting by spelling out her argument for the software, I countered with my argument. The deal should have been done in about 10 minutes, but somehow we were still debating 20 minutes later and I could see that Alysson was starting to get frustrated and was beginning her diversionary tactics.
Alysson began to slide forwards in her chair, her skirt riding up obviously, I could see her stocking tops. She kept opening her knees slightly trying to distract me, but somehow I stayed focussed. She attempted to gain my attention further by seductively sipping from her glass of water, running her tongue along the rim suggestively. After almost 30 minutes of this she excused herself, leaving her jacket but taking her handbag.
When she returned I noticed some things had changed immediately. Gone were her stockings, her skirt had got shorter, she had let her hair down from it's ponytail and her blouse was open several buttons more than it had been. She sat down opposite me, keeping her knees firmly together. I decided to play her game a bit and see how far she would go.
