One day at a time

[789]

Have you been using the same one this whole time?

[sadhearted]

Just BS. Talking about his job. See several people at his new place also worked at his old place so they know how good he is. So he walks into this new job with all these people already having high expectations from him. Not happy about that. And this is only his 3rd day there and he's having strangers walk up to him and say so and so told me about you. Here's my problem how do I fix it?

[789]

That sounds like work life, he can deal with it.

[sadhearted]

lmao You know I said to him once that's life deal with it and a long time after the fact he told me that was the only time he's ever felt like hitting me. He really hated that phrase. And no he's not a physical person and would never hit me or a woman. Since then though it came to be a joke between us. Just deal with it. Course not much joking going on these days.

[789]

I suppose that means sending him an email saying "just deal with it" wouldn't go over very well would it?

[sadhearted]

Probably not. Though a few weeks ago he was IMing me and I responded to something. He said yeah I know just deal with it and then put (ducking). So I guess depending on his mood we can still joke about it.

[789]

See you can still joke with him. Another one of those baby steps.

[sadhearted]

Sometimes. Few and far between. Baby steps.

[789]

But it does have to start somewhere, take them as they come.

[sadhearted]

Yep small steps. I had several of them a couple weeks ago. Then he decided to back off again. Don't think I like this dance.
