Watching Sheila E. here reminds me that my love and admiration for her might have cost me a date.
I was working a day tour and had to train Lori R. (Cute and had azz for days). When we broke for lunch I told Lori that I was going to McDonald's and that I didn’t have much money, but I would treat her to a burger and a drink (I had set a few dollars aside because I wanted to buy Sheila E's, "Hold me," which I did after we left McDonald's).
I was being totally honest with Lori, but that wasn't good enough because she told everyone in the office that I was a "Cheap skate."
