These entries come later and later. I’m getting this one in just under the wire, I think…if I can get it out.
Created a report that I was hoping to get out by end of workday today. Boss didn’t really like it, so rework must be done this weekend. Christ! Seriously, it’s going to take some completely different thinking on my part. I’ve gotta find some way to IMPRESS! It feels something like writer’s block. How do I break out of this?
In other news, it seems I’ve created a big ripple across the Pond!
A while back, I sent an email to Sam, my very serious LOVE from college. We dated for several years and broke up right before he left to spend some time studying in France. We kept in touch off and on, and I thought that someday we might get back together.
But he fell in love in France, and eventually married a French girl. They moved to the US and had kids here, but they moved back to France a few years ago.
So yes, when EXMS and I broke up, I reached out to pretty much everyone in hopes of answering questions and getting some kind of relief. Sam just happened to be in my firing line. Poor Sam. He was only trying to be helpful by emailing me back. His replies were sweet and thoughtful and soothing.
But then, imagine my surprise when he asked me to be his Facebook friend. All of a sudden, his world opened right back up to me and vice-versa. I could view photos of his family and his awesome provincial house in the French countryside. It was kind of thrilling!
I got back in touch with his sister. She and I had a very special relationship apart from the relationship that Sam and I had. Yes, we were very sure that we’d eventually become sisters-in-law. I loved her (and the whole extended family). So when I saw her on Facebook, we became real life friends again, rapidly sending emails back and forth.
Well, sister got so excited about the whole Facebook thing, and I noticed a note that she left on Sam’s page asking if he’d looked at my photos–saying I was “gorgeous”. Yes I was flattered, but kind of shocked that she’d left the note on his wall for public consumption.
Sure enough, a couple days later, I noticed that Sam’s wife was now a favorite.
Cut to today. Sister has sent me another flurry of emails that included forwards of emails from both Sam and HIS WIFE. Of note, wife is PISSED…her email in very straightforward English, basically asking her if she has nothing better to do than to send Sam messages about how gorgeous she thinks his ex-girlfriend is and how “fucking stupid” that is!
Oy. Just what I need right now: the ANGRY French wife of my ex-love.
How do I get myself into these messes?
Today I’m GRATEFUL for:
