Interesting stuff Lisa. CEO has a female stalker and yet YOU are the one who's opinion matters to him.. I would say, without hesitation, that he likely has a million butterflies in his belly too when he's spending time with you...
Oh your thread is SOOOOOOOOO romantic.
He is a catch. And I too loved what he said about you and what you deserve!! *swoon*
Lovely friends- so nice to come by my thread and see you all, although it seem that the world of ODs thread has gone mad- Handsome is begrudgingly giving CEO respect?! And homeopathic remedies for my grapefruit sized ankle too- thankyou!
Had another busy day today- very busy in fact, which is good this week in stopping me thinking about H. I dragged myself in to work on the tube waving my crutch at people who came too near my foot, and everyone at work was really sweet about it today. CEO came over and was very solicitous, even made me a cup of tea just the way I like it without asking if I wanted one. A miracle! Caught him looking at me once (he looked away quickly when he saw me looking back), got a classic crotch display, and I noticed him smelling delicious a couple of times when we were working on slides together. If there's anything to pheromones then there's probably some genetic compatibility there (that's not to say there isn't with H- H smells delicious too).

Hey Julia! On the H front, the plan is to just leave him to it at the moment. I'm not going to contact him when he's back from his holiday; I'll just let him contact me if he wants to and see how that goes. I could try initiating some contact but that just feels like the wrong thing to do at the moment. If Ali's right maybe he'll come back and sweep me off my feet (imagine! ). We'll see. Ali- I agree, it'll be interesting to see how he is with me when he gets back (if he even makes contact). I'm not holding my breath!

Shame the ocean's in the way. Bed is NOT for watching TV!
Where- swoon is right; he's a dangerous man in that regard. I'm secretly pleased to hear that you and Handsome think he might be butterfly-ing too. Otherwise I think the situation wouldn't really be fair.
Michelle- you are the queen of GAL and pretty wonderful yourself. I'm modelling my GAL on yours, so thankyou for the inspiration!
And that's about it for tonight. Went for some team drinks this evening which was good. Me, cockney geezer, manly-girl, rich girl and direct girl. It was good fun but I'm looking forward to a night in tomorrow.
Checking on you My Lady. When I come visit we go out with the Ceo and I will say something like "wow, you two look so good together, have you ever thought of making babies together?" Very subtle, dont you think? S
Austin tried that once and he got very embarrassed and ran away to his cave. I don't think she'd have won any awards like "Top Subtle Propositioner Of A CEO For His Sperm Award 2008" that day!
When you come and visit we will definitely go out with CEO and he will flirt with you and be devastatingly charming, and you will sweep him off his feet. Hmmmm, on second thoughts maybe that's ot such a good idea!!
Hey OD~ I like your plan in re to distancing from H and the stories about CEO always keep me going! You are doing good work!
H & I, both 32, together since 18. *M 7/03, A since 9/06. Bomb 7/07, H ended it w/ OW 9/08 * Agreed to D 6/09...very hard *D 8/10 * At peace, have become great friends w/ X-H and his new GF
I think things at work aren't going well. CEO has been really stressed out the past three weeks and on Tuesday when we were at lunch he said he was going to forego his pay for the next few months (he was raising funds for our company, but obviously because of the bank stuff going on that's become difficult).
So today I saw that he had a termination of employment contract (of his employment) on his desk, and we talked about what we'd do if we needed new jobs. I think we're all going to get notice of redundancy on Tuesday. It's unbelievable really, because I just got made redundant last year, and I thought I was really lucky to get the job I have. Anyway, I can probably get something new. It's just not ideal and a bit worrying thinking about the mortgage etc.
So, the real thing that's made me feel sad is that CEO seemed so down. He said this morning that he wanted to go out and have some drinks, but it didn't get arranged. I guess I could have invited him for one, but he seemed distracted and I didn't do it. In retrospect I should have I suppose. My heart just goes out to him and I wanted to be reassuring, reach out and say something good but I didn't manage it. I wish there was something I could do- he's so stressed and he has no-one. Well, he has himself and is pretty self-sufficient so I'm sure he's fine. You know when you're stressed out and just need a hug though? I feel like I could do with a hug tonight and at least I'm going to get paid for a while longer.
Any ideas for things I could do to support him? I know it's not strictly DB as he's not my H, but he's been so sweet to me the past months since I've worked there and I'd like to be supportive. I'm going to work this weekend, so I guess that's a start.
). We'll see. Ali- I agree, it'll be interesting to see how he is with me when he gets back (if he even makes contact). I'm not holding my breath!
