Last Resort Technique - Can I correct problems?

[LostIn407]

The worst part about my job is that I have nothing to do and sit in front of a computer all day. Therefore, I have way too much time to think and haven't replaced my W as someone to talk to throughout the day.

I am a programmer. I have a programmer's mind. I need to stop treating my situation like a programmer. When you test a program, you constantly test different scenarios and can make changes to see quick results. This is going to take time. I need to learn patience.


Anyways, this week my W has been texting me more. Maybe what I am doing is working?

In the middle of her texts, I send her a text that says "I wish the daycare didn't close so early. I could really use a beer after today." (One beer, please don't persecute me. I would never drink and drive or put my children in danger)

She replies "I can meet you for a quick one."

Is this backwards or forwards? I promise not to bring up OM, R or "us".

Am I falling back into her thinking she has me when she needs me?
