I don't have much news to report. We are moving offices next week so that's going to be really busy, and then have a really important meeting the following week. H may respond to the D papers sometime over the next couple of weeks. It was wierd sending the papers off, but it almost seems as though it's happening outside myself as I don't need to be personally involved in it. It's a very detached kind of feeling. No word from H this week- I think it's three or four weeks of NC (four?) but am not completely sure, which I think can only be a good sign.
On Friday there was a party after work in the penthouse and I worked out why none of the 'hot' guys in the office across the hall have asked me out in spite of an incredible amount of being friendly on my part. ('Hot' because they're hottish, not on fire ) They ALL think I'm married to, or in an R with, CEO. So I set them straight on that count. The party was good- you can't go wrong with strawberries and a chocolate fountain, IMHO. Next week said hot guys are bringing in champagne so we can have a goodbye to me party. I felt like saying to them that they shouldn't bother with champagne but bring me sperm instead. Thank goodness I didn't because that would probably have sounded a bit wierd!
Hahaha... god, imagine if you had said that ! Funny. Nice to see you back with a new thread...
So.. how are you? What happened to my big ole suggestion on your last thread that you just have a conversation with CEO? Ask him, or perhaps better, tell him how you feel? I seem to remember it was K that said to you, you dont need to DB him.. this is the start of an R, not the end, the DB rules dont apply?
(and to prove I am not just inciting you to wanton honesty and you wont be alone if you take that risk...I had a totally upfront convo with the Piscean today! Opposite of the convos with the ex over the past 18 months)

Hmmmm... My thoughts on asking him in this instance is that as he is Lisa's boss it could put him and her in a difficult position. He clearly has boundaries about that.
I would have to say that you can't go wrong with strawberries and chocolate! Throw in champagne, and you can probably get anything you want!
I think Julia is right on the boss thing. I think it is clear that the CEO has boundaries that he won't cross, and I actually respect him for it. I don't think I would do anything to push those boundaries. As I said before, I think not working for him is the only way to have any more of an R with him.
Ah I dont know, is that just fear though? Doing nothing... gets you.. nothing. I had someone who was in charge of me, I still risked it all and spoke up. Sometimes in life you have to take a chance. If he doesnt like it... THEN go get a new job!! Its just work afterall. Noone lies on their deathbed and thinks, wow I did a really good job when I was once Director of X company.. no.. they think of who they love and who loved them.
But.. I take it I am alone in that opinion !!! So I will respectfully shut up about it.
Lisa, lovely that you are still posting, just wish it was a bit more often, we miss you !
It's a tough call, there! I think the CEO is really doing the right thing, for the present, as is Lisa. He isn't going to fire Lisa, and as long as she works for him, I don't think there is going to be any more between them. So, it really comes down to her decision on that matter. It's an uncomfortable situation, but that's the way of that sort of thing! That's how it looks to me, anyway. The only thing I can think that he might do is to help her find a job elsewhere.....
