Surrealist Posted October 31, 2010 Posted October 31, 2010 Expressing enjoyment at working with me and an appreciation for my talents. But that's what you'd HOPE your boss will do. And we connected mentally. He always knew what I was talking about and thinking about and vice versa. He could follow my thoughts with very little actually being said. I think I just misinterpreted our great professional relationship for a personal interest. He enjoyed working with you and had a good connection with you as one of his employees or staff, but there were no clear romantic cues or signs that showed he had a romantic interest. Bummer hey, live and learn I guess.
Author eerie_reverie Posted October 31, 2010 Author Posted October 31, 2010 That's great. That's how I felt about my boss too. Like: you are really into THAT woman? Ewwww you gotta be kidding me. It made me lose respect for him too. Yah. But on the other hand THAT woman probably isn't a psycho back-stabbing bitch like I am. I can see the appeal.
welikeincrowds Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Ugh, god. I need psychiatric help. I am 80% decent person and 20% pure evil. You need to stop being so melodramatic. Perfectly decent people go to war and kill strangers. Others who don't, meanwhile, use their voting power in favor of it. I don't need to tell you to crack open a history book. Given the right circumstance, every single person on this planet is capable of real evil. You, meanwhile, had a bit of a misunderstanding with your friend after going through some stressful, difficult emotions. The problems you ended up causing are minimal, highly temporary, and easily solved. I don't know you, but from this story, I highly doubt you need psychiatric help. You just need to forgive yourself for being human like the rest of us.

northern_sky Posted November 1, 2010 Posted November 1, 2010 Spookie, I'm so glad you finally asked your boss. Some of the advice given on LS is wretched. Anyone who knows you well, knows you wouldn't have been able to move on -- at least not for a very long time -- without hearing those definite words from him. Right now you're going through a lot of pain: now that clouds of his spell are clearing, you're finally seeing all of the deeper issues they were hiding. But once you readjust, I have total faith that you will be even happier. I agree with you that moving is a good idea, especially as it will bring you closer to family. Also, I don't think staying at this job will make you happy. You've gained a lot from experience, but I don't think there is any left to gain at this point.
Author eerie_reverie Posted November 2, 2010 Author Posted November 2, 2010 So, my recent sociopathic outburst appears to have turned out ok. My friend has forgiven me. Which surprises me because she's the fcvking queen of unforgiveness. I've seen her cut off better friends, for less. I haven't forgiven myself yet, but I think we're gonna be cool. My boss had another talk with me today, wherin he asked me which division I want to be rotated to. It sounds like I'll get to go wherever I want, or I could stay where I am. How sweet is that? I've been wanting to broaden my experience for a while, and now it looks like I'll get an opportunity. And not just any opportunity, but I might get to point out exactly what I want to do. :bunny: I guess the morals of the story are, don't be afraid to come on to your boss or sleep with your friend's SO. Just kidding.
colliejoanie Posted November 2, 2010 Posted November 2, 2010 Awww.......the bastard. But your writing is excellent, and took me away from my own self pity for a few minutes.....thanks
