Wow, so its all about work and CEO now !? I am glad to hear that he values you so much that he has even sorted out another possible position for you (and him ) to go to, thats good news.
Sorry you havent heard from your H.. you almost dont seem to care?

Al- I wouldn't say that I don't care about not having heard from H. I do. It's just that there's really not much I can do about it given that he chose not to reply to the e-mail I sent him on Monday. He'll be in touch eventually I suppose. I have his golf clubs and camera etc, etc. What can you do? Maybe he's caving. The other thing is I've been super-busy at work. There's not time to worry about H because I really have to focus on trying to save my job.
So, it WAS nice that CEO thought of me and a potential job earlier in the week. Very thoughtful of him (and pragmatic as I said). I don't think it's by any means a sure thing though- we'll see what he manages to work out by other routes first. I'm actually not sure if I did something to upset him this week- he was a bit hot and cold today and yesterday. And today he flirted with rich girl. I was a bit put out by that, but wonder if he was getting me back for calling MLC man sweetheart earlier in the week (except that that was a joke as he'd called me sweetheart in front of everyone on Tuesday by accident; it's what he calls his daughters).
On the other hand CEO could just be very busy with work. He did tell me about an eye check-up today and ask my advice on a strategy he's trying. Boy stuff. And he told me to go home early tonight. maybe we've been around each other too much the past couple of weeks- I'm going to take the weekend off him and focus on applying for jobs instead!
Oh, I didnt realise that you had replied on Monday, I thought you said you might not and see what he does.
Then I'm sorry that he didnt reply. I guess he did go into a bit of a cave after his holiday, it was bound to have some effect on him.
Good luck with the job search.. thats a big deal moving jobs, but maybe it will be a good thing in the end.. you wont be working with CEO anymore (?) and maybe you will either a) miss each other and start up a romance at last! or b) move to another companu where there are a greater number of even more eligible men!
Sounds like you aer a little interested in CEO.. if you were getting jealous !?
That is of course, if things dont progress with your H. Perhaps he will get in touch next week, theres been some heavy atmospheres this past week or two.. we've all felt it (seems to have affected you in te work sphere, Kalni in her lovelife and me, well, just having another round of breakdowns!)

I've got my fingers crossed that the hard work you and CEO have been doing these last couple weeks are going to save the company (not that your colleagues deserve it.. the slackers!).. But, if by chance it doesn't work out, I hope, hope, hope you land at a wonderful company that will realize just how lucky they are to have such a hardworking goddess in their employment!
I wonder if CEO being hot/cold is just because of the stress of the situation, not because of you. Also, does CEO have daughters, or is it MLC man who has daughters? For some reason I thought that CEO was single and without kids, or did I miss something along the lnie...??
I hope you get a moment's rest... you are working so hard!! I wish I could give you a muffin delivery, straight to your office! (but perhaps through a back entrance, so the lazy coworkers wouldn't get all the muffins... just you and CEO!)
Not much to report again. no contact from H and a busy day at work. I had quite a good weekend- relaxing and catching up on sleep. It was great!
T- MLC man is the guy with the daughters. CEO is single and has no kids, and has never been M. I thinkhe wants kids- he was saying that he was talking to a woman about it at the weekend today but that she was too old to start now (she was 44). And I agree- the hot/cold thing is probably a reflection of the stress he's under at work. I think I'm being a bit the same so it's not a problem!
Where- I really hope the hard work pays off too- I feel like maybe I should ask you for a reference if I need to get a new job- you make me sound great- One Day, Hard Working Goddess Scientist Type!!
Ali- maybe a little bit interested but only insofar as he's a nice bit of flirtatious, intelligent and very rich and funny eye candy! Maybe H WILL be in touch this week- I'm certainly intrigued to find out what he's going to say when he finally does make contact. no doubt something about the football; his team won yesterday so I'd thought it might prompt something, but not yet.
Not much other news to tell really. I hope you guys are all OK, and T- I would absolutely LOVE a basket of muffins and I'd eat the whole lot without giving my slacker co-workers a single one!! Mwahahahahaha!!! [evil laugh while I rub my hands with glee!]
He seems to have run into his cave completely! He probably can't find his way out. Of course, I'm not sure he could find much of anything right now.....
No flirting stories? No mellons poking through delicate fabrics, no sandals swinging, no tassels? My Lady, are you OK, you are not sick, are you? How are you feeling?
(CEO is rich? then why bother looking for a job? You'll stay home raising your 5 kids...) S
Hey Lisa, I dont know how you remain so calm and chipper about it all, I guess thats detached? In which case, I must be at the other end of the detachment spectrum to you! Are you thinking that its not a good sign that he hasnt contacted you? Or are you hoping that he is working up to saying something significant? Its a pretty potent time right now, I posted on my thread about it as Trixi asked, but seems we are in a bit of a make or break window.
Would you consider asking him, more directly how things are? Or just keep on waiting? I am impressed I suppose that you have gone dark, as you have done, becuase you were always reluctant to do that before.

Handsome- yes, he does seem to have gone into his cave. Funny isn't it? Do you think I should sit tight or make some contact? I'm thinking it's his turn at the moment but would appreciate your thoughts! How are you, anyway? I put on some woolly fluffy socks today and thought of you all day while I was wearing them
Ali- I wouldn't say that I've gone dark; I'm just doing what I've always done, i.e. responding if he contacts me and not making a lot of contact with him. I tried making contact a few times before he went away and it didn't influence things, so it seems just a waiting game. I don't think it's a bad sign; it's just different. A lot of the success stories on the boards come after periods of withdrawal on the part of the walkaway in any case. And according to the stages of MLC the WAs goes through a withdrawal period. This might be H's, although at only 2 weeks I'm reluctant to attribute it to that! Yes, I'd say I'm detached, and I also have much bigger things to worry about right now in any case. Worrying about H is something that would add to that so I'm not going to bother with it.
Sunshine- CEO is a multi-millionaire! I don't really have any great flirting stories today. Had a bit of an attack of butterflies (or lust, I think you could call it) when I saw CEO walking down the corridor this morning in his jeans. This afternoon he came to my desk to show me a bruise on his eye (this is following from his eye operation). It involved a bit of close eye contact with me trying to see the bruise, which was actually a tiny white dot right on top of his iris. Then he told me about a woman he'd been speaking to on Saturday who he'd told that he really wanted to have children, except that she was too old for them now.
And finally, I told him about a dinner I went to ages ago with a guy (the office were talking about bad dates) who'd disappeared for about 20 minutes during the dinner to go to the bathroom. CEO thought he must have been doing something naughty (playing the one-armed bandit, I think would be a way to put it), but he was actually doing something much more boring (a number 2 probably). Thought it was interestin and slightly dirty that CEOs thoughts went straight to naughtiness when there was good old British toilet humour to be had.
Nothing that romatic/flirtatious, but it's the best I've got today!!
