Work Imitates Life

[peroxidepirate]

Right. In the past three months, I've been spurned personally and professionally by the same woman.

Remind me not to get in a position where that's even possible. Ever again.

And all the rage and frustration that I wouldn't let myself feel over the personal sleight? Right here, all bubbling up.

I shouldn't take it personally. The only reason she didn't take the job is that we couldn't pay her enough, and that's not my fault. And it's not like she actually rejected me on a personal level, either; she just found someone else before I got up the nerve to ask her out. Still... sucks that I'm now, again, looking for an assistant manager (as I have been for most of the past six months), right along with being single with no real prospects (as I have been for too long to even contemplate sanely). Grrrrrrr.

Thanks, hon.

"the love sucks let us eat junk food and watch movies line? i like this line alot. it works for me."

Yes, this one is the best! Because she and I still get along very well, and I think we'll be able to get past all this and be friends -- as we were for a minute between the first spurning and the second one. So better to say that it's love (and work) that I hate, rather than her.

In fact it's been junk food and re-reading very very good fanfic tonight. But that's not so different.
