Area Man Professes Love for Professional Acquaintance
COLUMBIA - Local accountant, Derek Thames, professed his amorous feelings for the woman installing new computers in his office at Otscon Tuesday before refusing to remove himself from the roof of his office complex.
Cindy Roberts works as a computer technician for SmartTech, a company that installs and repairs computers for local businesses. She was the recipient of many calls to Mr. Thames’ office for “necessary repairs” to his company computer that had just been installed Monday.
“We like to stick around a week or so after we install a lot of computers in a office just to work out the kinks and make sure everyone understands the new system better,” James Hanover, the owner of SmartTech, said in an interview. “Cindy was the employee I chose to stay behind to answer questions and do any necessary repairs on site at Otscon.”
Thames went to the roof of the Otscon building after realizing Roberts had returned to SmartTech. “He seemed to be very disoriented and he just kept saying how much he missed her. He said he would miss her legs and her hair,” Stephen Yates, a coworker said. “I thought that was very inappropriate. They only ever discussed computers, and very briefly.”
Upon reaching the roof of Otscon, Thames shouted boldly that he would miss “leggy blonde”, his name for Roberts. He expressed regret at not being able to “share a cup of tea” with Roberts, or express his feelings to her. “It was just a sad, sad scene,” Mike Mitchell, Thames’ supervisor said.
Reportedly, Thames is still remorseful, but has gathered himself enough to return to work. “I hope he feels better soon, I don’t want him moping around the office much longer,” said Yates. Roberts has not returned any of Thames letters and hopes to avoid another encounter. “I am slightly disturbed, but I’ve had admirers before. I’ve just asked Mr. Hanover not to send me back to Otscon,” Roberts said. “He wholeheartedly agreed.”
