I work at a small networking and computer company in Texas. We all have to supply our own laptops to use while we work. We hook up to the Internet through whatever network we happen to be working on at the time. I keep a Yahoo account on my laptop to explore my wilder side. One evening I was at the office and my boss asked to borrow my laptop so that he could transfer some files to his laptop. Pretty standard stuff and I left my laptop with him. The next morning picked up my laptop and went out to my first job.
I logged into my Yahoo account and saw a new email there. I opened and read a note from a guy in my area who was a dom/top who was looking for a sub/bottom for his satisfaction. He left his Yahoo IM name. I clicked on my messenger and sure enough he was online. We talked online while I was downloading software. He sounded pretty perfect for me. I am a bi-WM and a bit of a sub. So we set a time to meet online again and discuss the possibility of something beyond IM.
I returned that afternoon to my office to fill out work forms and turn in an expense report. While I was filling out my forms my boss (Tom) asked if he could talk with me after I finished. I walked into his office it was about 5:00 and almost everyone else had already left for the day. He told me to close the door. Tom sat behind his desk watching me as I walked across his office. When I sat down Tom asked how the install and upgrade went that morning. I told him it went just fine. He asked me then if I preferred Yahoo Messenger to MS Messenger. I was getting a sinking feeling.
