Thanks to 1000ships, I have more reading I can do.
I still haven't been able to track down that Peter O'Connor book; might be time to hit eBay.
My wife got her World of Warcraft account straightened out, and has alternated between hardly playing at all and playing for several nights in a row. She was up until 2 am last night playing.
She has been cooking more for the both of us, and more open to talking about the trivial stuff in her life -- work, her projects, WoW.
Our last post session for Retrouvaille was on Sunday. We had a very emotional conversation afterward -- we both were crying -- and I asked her where we stood. She said she didn't know.
* I told her that she could tell me anything and she replied "that's not true". * Does she still feel she can't trust me? Sometimes. * Have I done anything lately to demonstrate that I can't be trusted? No. * Does she want to trust me again? Yes.
So it sounds like I need to keep doing what I am doing.
I've spent the last week or so brushing up on some of my web design and coding skills. They're not essential to my tech support job, but I had a few customer issues where having that knowledge helped.
At the same time, my supervisor wants to talk to me on Monday about all of the open cases I have. It's an ongoing thing, but being short-handed after some deep layoffs back in May has made it a lot worse. He also wants to talk to me about "non-work-related business during work hours", which means I'm probably going to take a real break from the boards and Facebook during the workday. Last thing in the world I need to do is add unemployment to the list of things I have to deal with. And I haven't mentioned it to my wife.
I did check up on a resumé that I sent out a couple of weeks ago; the company takes a long time to hire, and there has been no progress as of yet.
