I forgot to tell you this. Saturday morning I was walking my dog in this area of downtown where there are a lot of museums, theaters, and performance centers. There are also apartments and restaurants and some other places to go/do/see.
So I was walking the dog and minding my business when I get at text from JKD that says only, “I see you.”
It kind of freaked me out because I looked around and there was nobody out and about walking around but me and the dog. I looked around a little bit more and finally texted back, “Where?”
Turns out, he was at a restaurant across from where I was walking and I guess was sitting in a window, but there was no invitation to come join him…no real anything and it felt weird, so I just sent a text that said, “Enjoy.”
And that was that. I haven’t heard anything from him since.
Speaking of I See You, is it possible for my boss to read my emails not addressed to him? He’s the kind of guy who doesn’t have trust that his team will get stuff done so he steamrolls a lot of things that I do. Many times I’ll do things behind the scenes that he doesn’t really need to know or send out emails without copying him because he doesn’t need to be involved in that extraneous stuff, right? So sometimes I’ll describe details about a meeting I’ve scheduled or a recap of something that I’ve done with another team or something to him and he’ll tell me, “Oh yeah, I saw that…” or somesuch and I’m like, how the hell is he even aware of this? The only way he could possibly know about [XYZ] is if he was reading my emails? I do know that he checks my calendar on the regular. He’s probably reading this entry. Hi.
I’ll tell you who doesn’t see me lately. Any men. I’ve gone to the bottom of Bumble and Tinder. Though I am texting one guy who sends me a hello on the reg, but doesn’t follow that up with ANYTHING. No, “let’s meet” or “I’m interested in seeing you.” Nothing. I know he lives close to me and works similar hours, but other than that I know nothing about him (except for the fact that he loves the gym… yawn). Of course, I’m not really trying, but he’s clearly not trying AT ALL. So if nobody tries, then what good is it?
And yes, I have other things going on anyway, but I’m a little worried about completely drying up. I have had prospects or opportunities to get a little nookie, but I guess I feel like it’s not worth it? Or maybe I’m too worried about having to get naked with someone? Or maybe I just don’t want to get close to anyone? Am I just getting older and I don’t care? That’s not really the case. I do care…I just don’t want to hang with someone who doesn’t care, I guess. I need a different approach to this, clearly.
What do you see?
