I didn't think I blew the insurance situation but blew staying dark by helping her. In retrospect it was the right thing to do. She called me right after work today and thanked me for helping her out last night. She went on that she needs help tomorrow but my help has been so "incredible" the past few weeks she hated to ask. She also said she would call OM and see if he could help her tomorrow and would let me know.(that's a switch)
I haven't beat myself up too bad on this one.
Some baby steps I noticed out of this:
1. I wasn't blamed for the insurance problem. 2. She didn't respond angrily to me in general. 3. She is sensitive to my time/efforts (before I was obliged to serve). 4. She's willing to inconvience OM so as not to inconvience me. 5. This is the first time she has compared (whether she realizes it or not) me to OM as substitutes for one of her needs.
To date four people have told me the Xmas lights OM put on the business look like cr@p.
Never send a boy to do a man's work. Especially if that obviously manly man (ugh, ugh, fart, spit) is in touch with his creative, artistic side.
"OMG what were you NOT thinking?!?! There is no theme whatsoever here! All these multicolored lights chasing each other around and around, where do you think they are going? NOWHERE! That's because this concept came from NOWHERE! We're supposed to be decking the halls, not chasing multicolored balls! It all needs to go back. Back, Back! BACK! Somebody get me a ladder. And while you're at it, get me a mocca latte and a mydol. No, make it two mydols. Just looking at this hurts me more than my last two boyfriends ever did. I swear, you give some people a ladder and they think they're Michangelo." (read with a heavy lisp and as much swish as possible)
