@veritek33 Nope! We exchanged a few texts while he was gone, and again late last night when he got back into town. I’m hoping to see him this weekend since I’m going out of town for one last mini-vacay after. I was/am hoping he’ll instigate the next date because I’m feeling kinda insecure, I think because we’re rapidly approaching the point where I typically get ghosted. (Even though he’s given me no reason to feel like I’m about to be ghosted.) Glad things seem to be going well with you and your guy! And yay for interviews!
I met up with the firefighter. It was a quick meet and greet since he was on his way back from the fire and needed at camp for a meeting. It was really nice meeting him. I like his hugs, his smile and the way he smells. I highly doubt this will go anywhere but it was nice meeting him.
I’m going to be in san francisco for the next 4 days and I leave oregon and go back to utah early oct. So there’s really no time but damn I want more of his hugs.
@copa hopefully he’s just busy and not ghosting! He didn’t sound like a ghoster.
@Trixy good hugs are the best. I miss those!
Awkward Texter and I are going to walk on the beach and out for dinner on Sunday.
Also, remember that supervisor at my last job who was generally an asshole and who I cried in front of? Well, learned over drinks tonight that he’s getting divorced. He and his soon-to-be-ex-wife only got married last November, and recently bought a house together, annnnd sounds like she’s been cheating on him. Apparently he now walks around the office holding/swinging a baseball bat at all times. Erm. I felt kinda bad to hear about it. This was his second marriage and you could tell he thought it was his big do-over. But also kinda feel like, “Oh, hey, Karma, there you are.”
Oh, annnnd. The guy I mentioned recently, the one who went on a date with an old co-worker of mine. I saw that co-worker this evening, and she made some casual comment about his alleged age, to which I was like, “Whaaat!? Nope, he’s older than that!” Turns out he’s been lying about his age. I was surprised. Co-worker was surprised but still thinks he’s a dreamboat.
Didn’t they meet off Bumble? If so was he lying about his age on Facebook?
That sounds like such a dreamy date, copa!
Also belated congrats ktfran! Hope you’re having fun on your honeymoon!
Omg! I had a boss who started acting nuttier and more erratic, like really bad, and HE had a baseball bat too. He’d swing it hold it up menacingly if you tried to ask about promotions or raises or whatever.
After a perfect storm of events that kicked off with a 23-year-old crying, he got fired and I got a 20% raise on the spot.
I also got his office, and I found his notecards in a drawer. Some of them had normal inspirational quotes, but others were absolutely whackadoo, like “I’m the Michaelangelo of Market Research.” Some weird relationship stuff and religious ones too.
So, I went to a DR yesterday about my disk herniation. And I didn’t get a good vibe from him. I mentioned his name to a health care friend I hadn’t seen in a while and she gave me the “oh, HIM” look. So I feel better leaving. I’m breaking up with that doctor and finding a new one. One who’s answer isn’t “Well you just can’t do that ever again” Um…….how am I supposed to live a life?
Morning DW Fam! Bf and I are headed to Belfast today. Wanted to check in and wish you all a fantastic weekend.
Copa, hope you have a great time on your beach date 🙂
@Kate I honestly DO feel for him because that’s such a sad/shitty situation. He was always tense/hot-headed when I worked for him, even months before his wedding. I thought it was because the job was high pressure and he traveled 5-6 hours to his hometown every weekend to spend time with his kids from his first marriage. (One of whom was having behavioral issues.) Now I’m wondering if it had more to do with his relationship. The bat was a decoration on his wall when I was there, and I’m fairly shocked nobody seems to have reported this. I’m sure he’s more stressed than ever right now, but wielding a bat at work is… batty. (Har har.)
@hfantods I don’t use Bumble as often, but yeah, it pulls info from Facebook. His birth year is private on Facebook (I checked last night). I DO think he purposely shaved a few years off his age. It’s not a *huge* lie — there’s not a big difference between 30 and 33 — but I do think it’s a weird one. Like, what’s the motive? Wanting to make sure you’re not weeded out by younger women who may cap their age preferences at 30?
Happy Friday, y’all! Hope you guys have some fun things planned. I have to work alllll weekend so I’m not excited about it. But Banjo and I booked our tickets home to the US to meet each other’s families, so I am excited about that! We’re flying into his area (west coast) and out of mine (east coast) but still need to book our west to east domestic flight. Not sure how to decide who gets us for the actual Christmas day!
