Coming from you, Buzzfloyd, that's a real compliment. Thank you!

I can empathise with Garner on this ......and not forgetting you as the supportive Spouse. Having been in both situations, I know just how infuriating it is!

Good luck with it all..... and let's hope she takes a "grow-up" pill over the weekend.

meant to update this monday, forget why we didn't have time. didn't even get online at all yesterday.

today i have a fever and can't think quite straight enough to give a proper account.

suffice it to say that i think we at least cleared the air, though the insults she perceived were entirely in her own head. she was upset with me for asking if i could leave as soon as she got back on thursday, but she'd bloody said herself that i could leave if she came back before closing. she didn't remember having said that though.

basicly i think she's a 'people pleaser' personality type, and the problem with those sorts is that they often SAY things to make it all go smoothly but since they don't actually MEAN them, they don't seem to remember it or let it be counted on the record.

all in all, it went okay. she apologized for losing her temper, i think she accepted my apology finally. we didn't come to any clear agreement about my working hours - she simply wouldn't be specific about it! - but i did suggest that she let me know IMMEDIATELY if i did anything that might cause trouble, rather than letting it build up again, and she agreed to that.

so, we'll see what happens. in the mean time, i'm going to keep checking the want ads.

Good show. And good hunting!

Yeah good hunting Clay and don't forget that chewing gum opening is still there if you need it. Although I can only offer a bronze slap on the back instead.

Back to stay!

"Snaps" to you for clearing the air and being the bigger person. Let's hope it's brought about a clearer understanding between you ......alternatively, that you find a smashing job in the WantAds.
