Stew

Your cell phone died! It happens. It is a legit reason for not calling. Knowing she has done it to you in the past could give her the impression that it was spiteful. But what's done is done. You can't change it so work on moving past. I don't know if you can write her a short note and leave it in her car. Nothing too deep or serious. Just state how sorry you are, it was a legitamate mistake and you respect that she doesn't want to talk to you right but you just want her to know that you did not do it intentionally and you are here if she needs anything.

As much as you want to help her if she told you she doesn't want to talk etc, you will have to respect that and back off. Let her be the one to come to you. Yes, it sucks but its what you have to do to show her you respect her boundaries.

I would omit any discussion of the drinking unless of course she will find out anyway. Then you may want to fess up so it doesn't seem like you were hiding it and become a whole other issue. I am sorry, but does she think you have a drinking problem or does she just not like it? I may have missed this info in your sitch.

In the mean time...try to keep your mind occupied. Work on Stew...180's GAL etc. You may want to notify your partners that there is a situation. Esp if you think its effecting the quality of your work. Most are pretty understanding if you tell them. Esp if things get worse before they get better. JMHO. I know my boss was very understanding and has helped my sitch by allowing me to work a flex shift so I can pick up D4 from school etc.

Hang in there buddy! Ps: She gets her haircut in Mass? Are you in the NE area? Just being nosey.
