hey all, hey to the oldies ;) who remember me
hows it all going?
i miss hanging out on here, the chats, the advice. you guys are awesome.
little update from the wild west...
boring stuff first, work is going pretty well. we're bleeding staff like there's no tomorrow. had two resignations in the first two days of this (short) week - pretty much average. no, we're not a big office, it really hurts losing anyone, let alone the multiples each week. but it does provide opportunities for those [suckers] who stick around - i have been offered a managerial role which i'm debating whether or not to take. it will be great for my resume, but i'm much more a hands-on operational person, i really don't think i'll enjoy the business/politics side of things, i hate that shit.
personal life, well... i love my friends. i really do. i've never had friends who have actually felt like family before. which brings me to...
one friend in particular who was a fairly new friend, but who i've known casually for... most of the time i've been in perth. she'd hug me, a lot, and tell me how much she loves me. i loved it. my ego loved it. but i adored her and all her quirks.
until... one very drunken night that we fought at her doorstep and i walked off towards the cab rank, then sat in a park trying to top up the credit on my phone to call her to apologise when next thing she was standing next to me, i burst into tears as i tend to do when drunk, and after consoling me, took me back to her place. she put me to bed in her massive king size, because her boyfriend was working overseas. i thought nothing of it... til she got into bed with me. naked.
the next morning wasn't even very awkward. we had a giggle and she dropped me home. then it all went pear shaped.
now, six weeks later, she'll sometimes go out of her way to talk to me, cheerily like nothing is wrong. most of the time she ignores me. she won't let me into her world, won't let me past her walls. i really don't know what to do. i know what i want to do - bail her up and make her talk to me, to get an answer one way or another. but she's stubborn, so so stubborn, thats part of why i adore her. why do i always go for the difficult b*tches? :astonished:
ARGH anyway thats the latest. if anyone has any suggestions i'd like to hear them. i really don't understand women. which i should i guess, i am one. but what complicated, frustrating creatures they are!
hugs all
