Today I just can't stand him

It seems I'm still caught in a flurry of feelings for my XAP.

It seems I'm still caught in a flurry of feelings for my XAP.
To both of you,
I know just how annoying the Xmm can be. Almost 6 years of it now, come May, and days like today are a Godsend because the heavens are dumping 8 inches of snow as I write. I was able to stay home, extend my weekend, and not have to put up with pouty puss. He's depressed about something and "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn." ;-)
One thing they will keep trying to do is getting your attention and you can foil this by yawning, burying yourself in stacks of paperwork, picking up a phone and pretending Brad Pit is on the other end , and NEVER look in their direction because you can bet that is the one time they will be looking back.
You know, it's actually good not to stand him right now. This is going to carry you much further than you realize. I would hold my head up high, laugh with the other coworkers, take a drive on lunch hour, leave work early when I could, and call a friend or my daughter on my cell the minute I was walking out the door. and I'd be blabbing away on my cell phone even if there was no one there. ;-)
He was never going to see that he broke me because I had enough faith in myself to know that I would mend again someday.
Love and hugs,

Loveless,
I didn't say that at all. Go back and read my post again. I've been over this man for 4 years now. It doesn't mean he still can't be annoying at times. ;-)
I was simply stating the techniques I used back in the day. Try them. You might enjoy the empowerment it provides. That and all the other excellent tips in the "How to maintain LC at the workplace" thread in the HL.
