Exchanged a couple of e-mails with H today. His first seemed a bit subdued. He complained again about his work being so quiet. I wonder if he's not enjoying it, or if he's lonely there. He also told me a bit about some stuff on TV he watched, and asked about how things were going at my work.
I responded with a light, breezy e-mail telling him how things were going at work. It was short compared to his e-mail, but I took a chance and asked if he'd like to pop by to my office one day next week, or I could take him for lunch.
He replied saying that lunch would be good on Tuesday, so I think we'll do that. Maybe it was the wrong thing to do to suggest it, but I got the impression that he gets bored/lonely during the day and asked with no expectations. I was surprised when he suggested Tuesday to be honest.
The e-mails seem a bit subdued and impersonal in a way, although maybe I'm overinterpreting. Yesterday he did ask me some questions in his message, although not so much today. Sigh. I wish I could help him feel better. I wish he'd be happy. And I wish this was all sorted out.
Had a nice day at work- went out for Thai food for lunch (delicious) and we went for a couple of drinks after work aswell. There's a new girl starting at our office the week after next and she popped in today. She seems really nice- hopefully we'll get on.
