MM pretty much told our boss!
| Thu, 09-11-2003 - 10:15pm |
I was training on a new job at work today. See mm and I were sent to a part of our plant where neither of us wanted to go, but at least together, which was just an accident that we ended up together. Anyhow we've both been training this week, but managed to stick close together. Until today when they sent me to one end where we wouldn't be anywhere near each other. So when there was a break I went down to say hi. He had me come sit close to him, even though our coworkers were around and he told me that he missed me today. He then told me that he was going to talk to our boss and ask to be put on the same shift. He said he'd tell him we're "friends" and he wanted to at least be on the same shift. Then while no one was looking he kissed me. He is so bold at times. Actually alot of the times. He came down to see me at the end of the shift and then asked me to go with him to talk to the boss. I was at first reluctent to do so, because I felt embarresed to say that to a boss. But if he was willing to put himself out there for me then I would be right behind him. So we went in there and he asked straight out if we could be on the same shift. It wasn't needed for us to say anything about our relationship, I think to everyone who knows us can see it. So he said sure! What a relief to us. It would have been impossible to ever see each other if he had put us on different shifts. Even if he left today we wouldn't see each other with the way our shifts at work go. So I'm so happy that he was willing to stand up and say something for us. I don't know if the boss knows he's m, but if he does, mm didn't care. Anyhow, I'm just going on and on. I just couldn't believe he was willing to go out on a limb like that about us. People all suspect and tease us, but we don't answer and we just joke back, instead of getting all defensive. That's when you look guilty. Anyhow, do any of you have people talking at work? What were their reactions and comments? How did you all deal with the talk?

JUST TRY TO ACT NATURAL. BE YOURSELF AND IGNORE THE RUMORS. JUST TELL THEM IF THEIR LIVES ARE SO BORING THAT THEY HAVE TO MAKE THINGS UP, YOUR GLAD THAT THEY THINK YOUR LIFE IS INTERESTING.
GOOD LUCK

We do have people talking at work, but we have had, on and off, for over a year. Funny thing is, we've only been together for 4 months, lol! I used to work for him last year, and we really are a wonderful team together. Everyone knows I'm completely devoted to him and always have been, so that's where the rumors came from last year, but they died out very quickly. This time, though, the rumors are persisting. EVERYone has something to say about us and it's a little wierd. But, he and I are big flirts, and we both just keep on flirting with everyone, including each other. We each get a little jealous sometimes ;-) but basically, we have to. We don't especially try to deny anything, but we don't admit to anything, either, we just kind of turn a deaf ear to it. So far, we've figured that if we don't add any fuel to the fire, the rumors will die out. But so far, they aren't.
And people are starting to treat us as a couple at work, also. If they have a question about one of our districts while one of us is out, people automatically go to the other one of us and ask what to do, rather than go to our boss, which would be the normal protocol. So that worries OM a little, because I'm M and he doesn't want our R to hurt my job. I don't think it will, though. I no longer work for him...haven't in 9 months. We're at the same level of management, now. My performance hasn't been negatively impacted by the A. So, I think I'm safe as far as the job is concerned. I just don't want anyone coming into the courtroom during custody hearings testifying to the brazenness of my infidelity.

Either way, I must admit it was kinda neat being referred to as "his woman." Even though I'm leaning toward this being more of a flirting friendship than an actual A, it's nice to have someone be so proudly possessive like that.
GOOD LUCK TO ALL
