ego boost?

My work day is usually pretty boring. It consists of reviewing lots of legal documents--me making sure that all the I's are dotted and that all the Ts are crossed--and the occasional phone call to other counsel and even sometimes directly to the client. I'm pretty junior, so for the most part I'm playing telephone and don't get that much client contact. One exception is this mega-deal that doesn't seem to end. I've had to follow up on tons of little things and because my client's accounting department hasn't been able to get its act together, I've been sending e-mails and leaving voicemails directly with him.

I thought that it was just an ineffeciently run operation, but there seem to be alterior motives. I had left yet another voicemail with Client and he called me back. Here's the rundown:

Ring Ring: Hello, [Evil Twin #2].

Client: Hello, Evil Twin #2.

ET#2: Hello, [Client].

ET#2: I called to follow up [on your accounting department's inability to do its job and to keep the opposing counsel's clients from filling up my voicemail with stupid irritating messages].

ET#2: Do you know if the checks have been sent?

Client: You mean they haven't received anything yet? [feigning disbelief]

ET#2: No, nothing yet.

Client: I'll follow up with [incompetent accounting manager] over here.

Client: Sorry about that, but this gives me an excuse to keep calling you, right?

ET#2: [nervous laughter] Alright, [Client] I'll e-mail you the amounts and the addresses where they should be sent to. [more nervous laughter] I'll speak with you soon.

CLICK.

I left out the boring legal stuff and his bad jokes that I had to laugh at (this was an oscar worthy performance on my part). It's hard to convey in words, but he was blatantly flirting with me.

So, after being told that I look like I'm 24 (when I just turned 29) by some random dude at a restaurant the other night and feeling old because I am used to being told that I look like I'm 21, I am not sure whether I should be (i) flattered by the affections of a very wealthy middle aged orthodox jewish real estate developer or (ii) totally skeeved out. Evil Twin #1 says that I should revel in my shiksa power. I guess that's one way of looking at it.
