On Figurative Ledge - Talk Me Down?

[Denver_2010]

Just journaling a little here about contact bw W and myself...

1/16/11

W initiated text conversation re nook (digital reader that I bought SS for xmas)

W: “SS’s nook is broken. the glass shattered. it was in his backpack. Any chance there’s any warranty? Not sure it would cover it anyway. He’s pretty upset."

Me: “Damn. Have him bring it iwth him on Saturday. I will see if I can deal with it. I don’t know though.”

W: “I know. It S*CKS. He assumes that the case is enough protection but it obviously wasn’t. I feel bad for him of course, even though he’s being rude to me”

Me: “He’s just upset. I will see what I can do. I’d just buy him another, but ouch. Maybe I can get the screen replaced. That does suck.”

W: “I don’t know anything about them, but it would be nice if it could be fixed rather than replaced. I will send it with him and you can look into it. Thanks.”

Me: “ok. Make sure to send the box it came in if you have it”

W: “I think we threw it out. I will look.”

W: “I picked up my mail tonight. Your mom is still there I see. Tell her hi for me. I lost my voice. Too much work and very little sleep. Got a long day tomorrow.”

Me: “I’m sorry that you’re having to run yourself ragged. I know that you are working your a*s off. My mom just came back up on Friday. I will tell her hello for you. Goodnight.

W: “Thanks. Night”

Not much good or bad in that convo. Still, I am somewhat encouraged that things seem a little friendlier bw us. Sandi seems to be right though, it's as if W is DBing me in some ways!
