Happy New Year!!! You are a good guy and deserving of better than you've got. Hang in there and surround yourself with folks who see the value in you. Might not be sex but you CAN get appreciation elsewhere! I wouldn't start hanging out with the co-worker though.I know you don't want to get another D (neither do I) so I don't get the feeling that you are going anywhere. Ever thought of resorting to saying the very un-pc thing "Mrs. HD you are behaving like a tight azzed b*tch." Don't call her one but she shouldn't have carte blanche to be nasty either. I wonder what she would say??
