spookie Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 It's been exactly three weeks since I told him. Three weeks since the "woman" from HR said me she'd get back to me tomorrow. I've heard nothing. I sent her an email 2 weeks ago, to which she replied on Monday promising a meeting sometime this week, but of course after that she just disappeared. I don't know what anything means. As far as Jack goes, things are good. A saner person would have long ago lost hope (he's just not that into you, I hear in my head) but in my heart... I'm mainly just happy that he's in my life. He is such a solidly decent guy, genuine, open, friendly (in contrast to my conniving, manipulative shadiness); and above anyone else that I know, I can trust him. I trust him always to give me the time of day and the benefit of the doubt, I trust he has my best interests at heart. Of course I'm left longing for more, but some days, I think those are the most important things that I need. We may not be in a relationship, but we still have one; and even if he's rejecting me, at least he's doing so with respect, and with the promise that he likes me regardless, and that we'll be on good terms. But another weekend stretches out before me, and I wonder how much more I can take.
johan Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I've been wondering where you've been. Nice to know there is some constancy in this world! If it helps at all, I was notified via a third party today, that I should really get in touch with one of my managers this weekend for dinner and a movie. So if you aren't getting any action with your boss, you should feel a little ironically consoled that my boss won't be getting any action with me. As cool and pretty as she is, I'm not going anywhere near Pandora's box. (And no, that's not really her name.)
Isolde Posted February 21, 2009 Posted February 21, 2009 I was hoping to hear something more along the lines of, "I know I'll be okay in the end, I'm finally ready to create an ending to this painful saga I've tortured myself with."
Author spookie Posted February 22, 2009 Author Posted February 22, 2009 I was hoping to hear something more along the lines of, "I know I'll be okay in the end, I'm finally ready to create an ending to this painful saga I've tortured myself with." How do I end it?
Isolde Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 How do I end it? By channeling your energy from this into something else. By not caring. Or some combination thereof. You have to want it to end. You have to want YOURSELF to be the one to end it. Or it's not gonna work. But if you get to that point--you'll be open to life.

sunshinegirl Posted February 23, 2009 Posted February 23, 2009 Are you saying you haven't gotten the transfer?
