Just an update: decided not the pursue the other job.
Ws office social events are becoming very frequent, including several that boss' W is organizing. Strange - boss' W has become very fond of my W. ?????
Office has switched to texts instead of emails - Ws phone beeps are different and she laughs about learning text codes. Seems odd but trying not to read too much into it.
We will be working overseas in 2012 and figured this would be a nice break (with our home offices at a distance) but this week Ws boss is arranging for a phone that works over there. Guess I should have seen that coming.
Handling this ok. But next month is W's 40th Bday and she made me promise not to plan anything big....but her office is secretly planning an entire day and evening off in her honor.
.....hmmmm.....maybe that other job isn't such a bad idea....
