well... seems no one liked my joke? I am used to that.
Update: After one week of silence, heard from H today. I think I was pretty good on the fly too.
1. H called me on my work phone, something he never does unless he wants to actually get me and not leave a VM.
2. H had answers to questions I asked a week ago. H doesn't feel he needs me to pay for my computer repairs now that I will be getting $ to pay for them. Also H needs info on his unregistered truck at the house in order to get it moved per my request and his plan. I agreed to send it to him. H said I could drive up and get it, or you could give it to me. I said fine, would be happy to it for him, not a problem at all. All very pleasant and chatty.
3. Then, H says: "So did you lie to me about sending those papers back?" Apparently his atty. hasn't received them yet. So I answered no and then told him I didn't appreciate being spoken to that way. H apologized, saying he hadn't meant to infer he thought I was lying, and noted that I have never lied to him in all the years he has known me. I thanked him for saying that and he said it was a good thing to be proud of. He wondered about the slow mail and I casually said I couldn't help out there. I mean, what can I do?
4. H dropped the topic and talked about my web site. He's having some issues with it and we talked about solutions, other options. He offered more help.
5. H asked how I was, what was going on with me. I said things were good, except for client falling through. H was very supportive, said maybe it would be delayed and not completely lost. Some chit-chat.
5. Right as we were about to end, I mentioned he'd skipped the one question he had mentioned getting back to me this week about (why he now wants a D after 5 months of "a D is wrong thing for us to do" and is going light-speed at it). At first, he seemed confused, and then said it wasn't something he could discuss right then and thought it was not something I could talk about at work.
I agreed, said I wasn't suggesting that at all. I understand.
I wished him a great night and not to work too hard. I swear his voice totally changed around then. He was emotional and got very quiet. Obviously I can't see him through the phone, but he sounded like he had gotten pretty choked up.
What IS this???
wonder
p.s. Oh, and get this: the charming and flirty roofer guy gave me a good discount on my roof repairs today... he actually came back in after leaving to tell me he was lowering his price???
