Just so you know...

I could, but I hate for him to win like that.

He's not winning though, you are. He can't contact you anymore so he'll be peeved about that. The one who has the power and control will win - that's you.

And my cell is an important point of contact for me, and Ive had that # for 5 years.

My W changed her number several times while we were together. She just texted everybody in her phone book with her new number and that was that!

This is harrassment pure and simple. You need to tell your employer and yes, maybe even the troopers. Your employer did not make a mistake hiring you, but this man is making some serious mistakes. Your employer will be making a serious workplace legal mistake if he does not address the issue.

Read up on the topic tonight (state and fed) and bring it up tomorrow.

I will talk to him tomorrow about it. Tonight was busy, it makes the time fly by! The guy wouldnt even make eye contact with me today. So Im kind of frustrated by that, I dont want him to talk to me, but Im annoyed that he cant just be normal! Im probably letting it get to me more than I should but GRRR!!!

Im making plans for tomorrow night, I have to work sunday am at 7, so Im not going to get too wild. But Im looking forward to going out to the parties at the bars after handing candy out at home for a while.

I am starting to get a little lonely I guess. Im sort of acutely aware of all of the things that would be easier with someone by my side. My flat tire, my dogs, housework, everything would just be easier with some help. I cant really go out because I dont have a sober driver, I cant even have two glasses of wine if I go out to dinner. I live about a $40 cab ride away from town. Im just kind of in a weird place tonight.

Have a happy halloween everyone!

Just got back from the halloween festivities. Had a blast with some friends, thank goodness for daylight savings time! I get an hour of wiggle room!

I left a bowl of candy outside, I usually get lots of trick-or-treaters. And its ALL still there, Im astounded! What a disappointment. Now I have to figure out how to get rid of all this candy! Its all frozen too, almond joy's are tasty frozen!

I spoke with my boss today about the text messages. He told me that he was willing to talk to the guy, that he didnt want that kind of thing going on at his business, and that if it came down to getting rid of him or one of the managers, this guy might have a surprise coming. I am just hoping that there is not going to be some huge fall-out, I guess well see!

I hope that everyone had a great night!

Hey--frozen Almond Joys sound wonderful! They'd already be gone if it was me.

I'm thinking that guy sounds like he's got some mental problems or whatever, def. not normal. And I bet you're not the only one he's treated like that. If I was the boss I'd want to fire the guy before he caused even more, maybe worse problems....

[bluerain]

I ended up giving ALL of the candy to one of my girlfriends kids. Bwah haha! Just what he needs Im sure, 4 lbs of sugar! It certainly wasnt what I needed to have around!

I had a good day at work today, I am a little disappointed to figure out just how much office work this is going to involve, but, eh, I need the job so I guess Ill deal with it. I diffused a situation on the sales floor with a customer who has some pretty serious mental problems, and it made me realize that I really enjoy that face to face contact, and Im really good at dealing with people. So I guess that Ill just have to take my chances to work with people when I can get them.

Karen, one of the last interactions I had with this guy was his daughter had fallen down and was crying, cuz you know, shes 5! So he started screaming at her for not listening and running. I had seen her trip, while walking, and fall. When I tried to stand up for her, he turned on me and started screaming at me! So I told him to get the hell out. He does need help. But I dont think that hell get it. His daughter is already totally unable to cope with even the smallest thing, a skill she learned from daddy Im sure!

Im hoping that the work situation will calm down and he can just do his job and let me do mine. And if he cant, well, I am his boss now!

Oh, and it snowed today!!! Not enough to stick, but its on its way!!!

[orangedog]

Glad to hear you had fun yesterday and at work today.

Hey, I just realized what state you live in.

I was born and raised in Alaska, and moved to Oregon after high school. The rest of my family still lives in-state.

[bluerain]

Hi Trent, thanks for stopping by, where are you from? I grew up in Southeast. Its definately winter now, 9 degrees when I got up this morning.

I was glad to be able to sleep in this am! Its amazing how a month of not having anything but school to do makes me sooo lazy! Im getting ready to register for next semester, Im not sure exactly what Im going to take yet. Im thankful that with the new job I have time in my schedule for classes.

I still feel this nagging need to move to the city, just when I finally get a job, I know. I feel like I need to make a change I guess. I cant afford to do it right now, but maybe I could make it a goal for next summer, or fall. FWS wants me to come back in march or april, so I could stay for the summer, and work my tail off, that would all be extra income, it would give me a chance to get rid of some debt and maybe save a little in preparation for a move, or whatever.
