Oh Karen...

I got your little package today in the mail... and I am looking forward to my reading, especially with THE lunch being tomorrow.... (think of me and how many shades of red I may turn tomorrow afternoon)... and with Joey's comments today to LOL at, and with the stress I had at work today, well... I'm looking forward to the reading...
I did not see a couple of pages though and was hoping you could scan those and email them to me... pages 402 and 403 are missing... would you mind? :)
Thanks again for thinking of both Joey and I... I was surprised with the extra pages you included... had I told you when the other's birthday was?
*hugs*

Blake is very much close to me... a momma's boy.

Well... 4:30 your time is 5:30 my time and is time for me to start getting up and attempting to get ready for work and such... today was somewhat of a failure in that regard, but hey, I tried :)
You know... there are parts of Blake's personality that seem so Joey-ish... I mean, he's quite a talker (and you never know what will come out of his mouth) as you know, but he is very much stuck like glue... which is part his age and then just part sheer attachment to his momma. He's having another bit of a rough streak again... I don't know if Joey is worse (though he seems much whin-i-er lately), if the teacher has had it up to here with this semester (18 days left) or Joey's had enough or all of the above... I know I've had enough of the notes... talk to joey about not talking back... um, hello... I'm doing that every day... (maybe its mom who is sick of the teacher....hmmm) Did I tell you that she is moving up with them this year--I am talking to the principal to make sure that he's not in her class again...
Let's see... what else... talked with Gwen today... she is the subject of rumors right now and I made a comment about people (her) saying all this crazy stuff about me and B... her response was typical her... that its not rumors when its the truth... but I did stop her and say seriously, I work with him on a daily basis, as much as I used to, just on bigger issues now, so seriously, this can't go so far as to damage that relationship... she said that she would never say anything that would make me uncomfy around him or vice versa... so I'm hoping...
That's the latest here... I'm tired... 5AM comes way too early...
I'm glad that you talked to Gwen, and I hope that she heard what you're saying.

Okay... having been the subject of several rumors, I'm putting in my 2 cents. (Plus, I'm liking this Swahili thread)
People who start and spread rumors have dull lives and they're unhappy with themselves. I used to work at a company with over 200 employees and according to rumors, I'd slept with 5 coworkers that I know of, including my boss. It all started when one coworker, a guy younger than me, got a convertible Miata and we used to go out at lunch driving around. Of course, no one thought we'd just drive around.... we HAD to be doing the nasty, right??? After that, it was easy to assume that I did it with ANYONE I went out to lunch with. Oh, and my boss got thrown in there after I was promoted..... I had to be doing him because who gets promoted for doing a great job??????
Funny thing, though,..... once I was separated, the rumors ceased, and I became the biggest advocate for NO GOSSIP!!!! If someone would say to me, "Dick and Jane are sleeping together!" I'd come back with, "And did you see them in the bed together?" It shut people up pretty quickly.
And even funnier, now that I think about it..... my sweetie and I met at that job. We became fast friends, but no one ever thought we were doing the nasty. I think because the other guys were better looking and it wasn't as good a story to spread.

I'm sure that the element of the gossip was much, much better when you were still married, too, huh?
I'm with ya, I just don't have much patience for gossip... or even details that just aren't relevant to *me*.... ya know?
My "weird" guy talks to me about chocolate.... he's melting my heart :-)

Swahili is GREAT, even though I couldn't follow alot of it!!!!
I'm going to leave the feet stuff alone. I had a pair of shoes stolen from a library once in college by some guy with a foot fetish. (I hate shoes and take them off every chance I get)
And yes. more interesting if it's an AFFAIR as opposed to DATING. Though with the first guy, he was 9 years younger than me (I was 31 and he was 22).... VERY scandalous! He and I are still good friends, though he moved out of state. And I could never figure out why sweetie and I weren't doing the nasty..... we were more likely to since his marriage was publicly on the rocks at that time.
People need to keep to themselves. You definitely learn that lesson when you've been the subject of rumors.

Yeah, I felt the need to say something... and she understood what I was saying, so I hope that changes things a bit... I mean, I'm not saying a little nudge could hurt, but a full blown push down the aisle... ouch :)
Today was far too busy for rumors and if I had heard any, I still wouldn't have believed them... the re-org for my dept was announced today and I still have a job... but... my manager has changed and I'm ~really~ not happy about my new boss... I'm talking with trusted people within and outside of my department (3 of the 4 of us who now report to this person aren't happy with the idea... the fourth hasn't even been at the company a month, so its too soon for him to know better)... and I'm trying to determine my options... B wasn't at work today but I do want to talk to him about it... he's close enough to the situation and yet... plus I trust him and I know I can talk in confidence...
The overall dept head today said that all of us who were in the meeting had boxes on the org chart... after seeing my direct management change I was thinking... hmmm... maybe a real box with the severance package would have been a better option for me...

I know where you're coming from... her rumors however, were due to her lack of being on an org chart and whether she was accepting an offer for another position or not... people were saying that yesterday was her last day... it wasn't... she accepted her sweet offer today... and I'm happy for her...
On the lunch front... I got to lunch practically every day with an older guy... He's caught heck because I'm white and he's not... and well... what do you need to go to lunch with her for... some assume something must be up... but really its not... he's gay... we just get along well and enjoy our lunches...
Chocolate... that's a nice subject... feet... I don't get the feet thing... but I do keep my toes polished in the summer... like everyone else around here... but that's OK... melting your heart though... interesting...
Does Blake really know what he's saying with the not wild enough thing... hmmmm....
