Hey Lisa, hope you are doing ok, I am glad to hear you arent too upset about the tests.
I'm not sure why you were asking H for advice on that, but I'm sorry that he made no suggestions! Thats not very caring hey. Ditto work.. thinking back to how supportive you were of him and his CV and stuff, but then.. maybe he is a little jealous of CEO, who knows hey?
Its odd the 'friendship' you have with H, you say you are natural and honest, but then you also say you dont discuss feelings with him, just the facts and events with CEO (as in, you talk to H about CEO as a potential partner for you!??) and the aub is never mentioned.. so thats a kind of sort of friendship isnt it, but perhaps not turly yet, if you there are stlll areas of your selves/lives you cant discuss. But, seems there has been no acrimony or fading out of each others lives, which is a good thing! I am saying all of this as I wonder how me and my ex will progress to friendship if we dont reconcile, I cant imagine I would lose him from my life either after all these years, but I guess any friendship could only happen once all the emotion has died down.
So, you stopped posting for a while and now you have again, you dont mention any feelings in regard to H.. whereas before, you did always used to say that you still fancied him and admired him etc etc.. so have you turned a corner with that stuff and have you transferred your limerance to CEO !?? I am amazed (and a little jealous) you are getting to spend time with him for his birthday, thats just amazing after everything you've been through.
Well done on keeping your job!!!.. on the one hand though, you said CEO gave the position to you out of you and the other PM, but then you say, you're not sure you want CEO to be your part-time boss, do you get a choice then?? I'm confused! And.. if he is still your boss, he wont date you will he?! Thats no good!
