Hope you're all having good weekends. I think it was a good thing I didn't ask CEO about his snake yesterday. Got an e-mail from him this morning saying thankyou for my message and that I shouldn't worry about him and he's OK but that he was worried about the company. I think we knew that. Anyway, the telling me not to worry thing annoyed me so I didn't respond.
Went to work this afternoon and I had to send him a couple of work e-mails. He responded quickly and very directly about work. Then asked me why I wasn't watching the football on TV. We exchanged a few e-mails about that and the football over the next half hour or so. The interesting thing was that he started the non-work e-mailing after I'd kept things very work related. So, doing what works means I should keep it professional and let him initiate personal interaction. Assuming I want more personal interaction, which judging by my wine-fuelled posts yesterday, I do. LOL!
Been out tonight for a couple of drinks (I had water, in case anyone's thinking I drink too much!). I got asked out very awkwardly by a guy who spent the whole evening telling me how positive I am, and about how he has a great job. He's the same age as CEO but man, what a difference. Needless to say I didn't accept the invitation, but it was nice to be asked I suppose.
I'm still a bit on edge about work, thinking about my options for what to do. I guess it'll become clearer with a bit more time. And whatever CEO says, I do feel bad for him. It must be very stressful for him at the moment having to deal with the company (he did start it Jeff), people and his own personal situation aswell. At least I only have to deal with me (and not seeing him every day any more!)
