It's going to be a bumpy ride

[Trixi]

Nice.
His work just called here asking for him. The guy who called is someone that I have met several times at work functions, so he was friendly, identified himself, and asks for my H.
He says "Is J there?"
Me"...noooo......"
Him "oh, he's not? This is R. Well, I called his cell and left a message. Any idea when he's going to be back?"
Me" uh..nooo..."
Him(sort of chuckling like he is feeling like he is getting H in trouble or something)"Um, well, okay. I just needed to get ahold of him."
Me"if you left a message on his cell, that's your best bet."
Him"okay. Well, if you see him have him call."
Me "Will do."

I had asked him last week if he had told people at work and he said that he had told a few. Then he said "people can be so nosey" and I said "Oh yeah? I think people aren't nosey enough. I think that societal pressures are a good thing in helping people keep their commitments; and now that people are "minding their own business" even more marriages are crashing and burning." Him "yeah, I can agree with that."

I would have thought that he would have told the guy that called--and now I am sure the guy that called is wondering what the heck is going on and is worried that he just got my H in hot water.

Of course, now *I* am wondering where the heck he is (and if he is with someone.)

I am also wondering if I should drop him a text saying "your work is looking for you." (Maybe if he knew that it was important enough that they called the house, he would call them back.) I dunno.
