Thanks Chromo,
6 more days (work days) and he is gone. I guess I can hold out without doing anything crazy. Although I was so close today I could feel my heart pounding and butterflies in my stomach.

When he decided to resign, the feelings that had been bubbling under surged to the fore. Like the prize was being snatched away and I wanted to reach out and grab it. After all - I reckoned - what's to lose if he's leaving anyway? But I know what's to lose. It would be another really fat nail in the coffin of my M. There are two maybe three nails already but I guess with work I could maybe prise them out. Doing this would not be heading in the right direction even if it does seem like a minor detour. Like you say it is a bear trap.

thanks again

Fran
