Got a bit of news today. The new position I applied for (day shift, really good job) has been given to someone else. Its a friend of mine, so I am happy for him, but boooo hooooo!
I am quite disappointed at the moment about this, and trying hard to get through the evening without tears. The very first person I would normally call would be xH. Sigh, hard to let go of those strings, but I would cry if I talked to him, and I don't want to lean on him for this. He will ask later, and I will tell him, but hopefully I'll be composed by then.
I was walking out the door for work, obviously nervous (had the final interviews today) and xH leaned in to give me a hug of support. He stopped midway and gave me a knuckle bump. It was funny, we both laughed. We are learning our new roles I suppose, and he isn't ready for hugs (or thinks I am not ready).
