Yeah, see. There are days when I come to work and everything works smoothly and things go right and everyone likes everyone else and I feel really dumb for wanting to leave this place to go do something else. But those moments are fleeting and I’m right in the middle of one.
Come Monday I’m sure it will be a completely different story with my “official” boss comes back from Hong Kong. He’s been MIA save for a few emails here and there over the last couple of weeks. I’ve only had to deal with Pseudo-Boss since the holidays, and while it’s bad enough, at least he knows what he’s talking about with regards to my business. “Official” Boss has no clue, nor does he want to understand what I do and what the struggles/complications/intricacies are. And I get that. I don’t expect my boss to understand everything I do – I mean, that’s why I’m here. Still, he should at least get the concept. Nope. Nothing.
But today it feels good – like I’m doing most things right and it’s just about the end of the workday and I’m ready to ring in the weekend.
Tonight I’m having dinner with a friend who I met at Best Bud’s over the summer when she had a small soiree at her place. Best Bud’s brother is a pilot for Emirates and last time he was in town he brought the pilot he flew with from Dubai to Best Bud’s party. I took one look at [Fred] and thought, wow…there’s a nice-looking, very friendly pilot! So we talked and we hit it off. Now he wants to get together when he flies into town as has a layover. He even tried to schedule a Shanghai layover when I was there in November, but we couldn’t make the dates work out (he ended up in Shanghai a week after I left).
Of course, this pilot is married, so I know to be careful with that shit. I know I won’t do anything stupid, but I’m not sure that he wouldn’t. Yes, I’m attracted, but NO WAY would I mess around with that. Plus, Best Bud and her SIL are really good friends with his wife and I don’t want it to look suspicious.
So I tried my best to make sure the two of us wouldn’t end up out together, ALONE. Best Bud and The Boys can’t go because they’re all going out of town. [Athena] can’t go now, and believe it or not, I asked the Bulldog to join us (leaving out the part that my friend is a man!), but he’s hangin’ with his buddy tonight – in the same ‘hood! I wonder if we’ll bump into each other! THAT could be interesting.
I’ve been hanging out with the Bulldog quite a bit since we’ve been back from our secret rendezvous in California. Not only did he meet me out on NYE and take me in one night during the Great Smoke Detector Ordeal of 2016 (where I actually took him in…ha!), but we had brunch and went to two art exhibits together on Sunday before I went to my Dad’s to celebrate his birthday, and we also had a tryst mid-week this week – dinner and sex. And then he left. It’s been nice to have a fuck-buddy, but as you know, it keeps me from the real deal. And I want the REAL. DEAL.
I suppose going out with [Fred], the married pilot tonight isn’t helping that cause much, either.
