I’m starting this entry on a downer of a note because some things that really SUCK have happened recently, but I plan on ending this entry on a positive note…if I can think of some things.
Things That Suck:
The Scot ended things with me VERY abruptly last night. I realize that this is 100% his way of dealing with things when they don’t go his way. Recall him “losing” his credit card on the last night of NYC so he didn’t have to pay his half of the hotel bill? Well, it was clear he was looking for a way out of all of this last night as he picked a text fight with me because I didn’t sound supportive of something that had gone on between him and his mum (he is SUCH a mama’s boy). I followed up with a sweet text telling him that he needs to take care of himself as he’s in the midst of some kind of breakdown. He took that to mean that I was saying goodbye (I wasn’t) and fucking unfriended me on Facebook! And then sent a cruel-ish text saying that he hadn’t expected this, but…that he’s out. I wrote him back, saying that was a really harsh way to end things. ...and then I blocked him on FB and on my phone. Wow. Nearly six months of fantasy romance came to an end. I knew it was going to happen. In fact, you could call it foreshadowing when I took screenshots of all of the photos he’d posted of us in New York on Facebook because I had an idea he’d either delete them or unfriend me eventually. It hurt a little bit more than I was expecting. I’m sad today. Farewell, sweet Scotsman. You were hilariously fun - until you weren’t. I truly hope you get better soon.
Yesterday Boss was bugging the shit out of me, sending me texts during my conference call about my samplemaker and asking me how busy she is in the next week or so. He told me he had a project for her and went on and on. I told him I was in a conference call and would come see him afterwards. Turns out, the motherfucker wants her to work on a side-hustle for him! He was telling me that it’s for a business that his wife wants to start and that they want to get their son involved and yada, yada. You guys!! This is SUCH a conflict of interest! I mean, how unethical is THAT? He wants to use company employees and company time and company equipment to start up a side business for his WIFE?? Like, he was so fucking blatant about it that I just stood there with my mouth open while he showed me designs that he wants to work on and he went on and on! I don’t even know what to do with this information. I’m in shock! How can he think that this is even the least bit on the up and up? Oh sure, he told me that he’d pay her cash for her time...but she’s still using the company’s time and resources. I can’t even process this in my brain that he was soooooooo nonchalant about it. It’s not possible that he is clueless, you know? And I’m sure that’s why he keeps wanting to go to China by himself. He’s been working this angle for a while now, I’m sure. I swear to god, if he asks me to do any work for this little side project of his I’m going to HR. What the fuck?
I forgot about this from earlier in the week. On Sunday I went to an Oscar party. Not just *any* Oscar party, mind you. [Athena] and S threw this party and invited friends. It was really nice of them, and I had a great time. BUT. One of the friends is CC, who is a guy I dated before Prosebox. In fact, it was before SexyPants. We were never hot and heavy at all, but we did see each other for several months and kept in touch even after we stopped seeing each other - for years! I liked the guy. I thought we were friends. But one day, during [A]’s last stint with S, as I understand it, CC went off on a tirade about women my age (because he was dating a woman more than half his age at the time) and how we all just think we are the absolute shit and how we think we have “golden tacos” and I don’t know what all else. It was SO surprising to hear as I truly thought that we were cool and friends and all that. ANYWAY. That was at least three years ago. Cut to Sunday night. CC showed up at the party and I truly thought that the hatchet was buried and we’d have a great conversation and hug it out and continue like we were the old buddies we used to be. That was not the case. We did say hello and I tried to talk with him, but the dude wouldn’t even look me in the eye! He barely said two words to me and literally never looked at me the whole time. I was one of the very last people to leave the party and he was the last one there, I believe, and he didn’t even say goodbye. I have NO IDEA where this came from or what his issue is, but damn. I didn’t know people could hold such grudges for...nothing at all???
Whoops. I’ve run out of time and need to roll, but first, as promised...
