Yoga good luck for tomorrow afternoon! am sure all will go well, I think this is going to be a week for good news :)

Watch new job is based in my co's main office, which is only a 5-10 minute walk from where I am now. Haven't met any new colleagues yet other than my manager who is lovely, my age-ish with little DC. I think we'll get on famous last words. I will be part of the Training team, so will spend some time going round other offices delivering training etc. V different from current role and quite exciting! No start date confirmed yet, but will be in about 6-8 weeks Grin

My best friend has already said think of all the new men people I will meet Grin

Yogagirl17 · 10/10/2012 22:18

Sponge really happy for you, that sounds great & timing couldn't be better!

Movingforward123 · 10/10/2012 22:56

sponge well done, Smile so glad for you.

ok mr wealthy, I really enjoyed the conversation with him, he seemed funnier and smarter then the other guys I normally go for like mr workoholic. And I do feel like I would like to meet him one more time, but not sleep with him. even though I know there are massive amounts of votes against it, I think I should go with my feelings on this.

In the past, I often used to say no to things just because I thought I should, but have been left thinking what if?

MadameOvary · 10/10/2012 23:03

Sponge Yay! Am SO pleased for you. One door closes, another door opens...so exciting!
Yoga Hoping for a similar outcome for you lady!
Science Boy has Just texted to say he's home and asking how I am. Smile

Kirsty I met my toxic ex at a funeral. Mutual friends of many years led me to think he was ok. Hmm

shuckleberryfinn · 10/10/2012 23:10

Wahey sponge on the new job. revel in it I say.

Ok, now you guys need to confirm what I'm already thinking. When I do the radio silence thing with FWB he pops up and is all chatty and uber fun and I get the raging horn.

New guy on POF (and we all know about POF) keeps saying stuff that just makes him seem so much like this guy that I have to jump on top of and do ridiculously fun things to but his kid and my kids appear to make meeting impossible so my options are:

Give up and spend more time with my shower head.

Believe POF guy and wait while enjoying the very intelligently funny filthy craic.

Hang on for FWB and factor in the aspergers.

Go out and get drunk, give up on OD

Something else that I haven't considered.

lubeybooby · 10/10/2012 23:13

Sponge well done on the job :o

OhWesternWind · 10/10/2012 23:26

Shuckle sounds like the PoF guy could be worth meeting up with even if it takes a little while to arrange. You never know...

Been asked out today by FOUR blokes on PoF - current record for me Grin. Haven't said yes to any yet, but I will do (maybe to all of them). I'll decide tomorrow when I'm bored at work.

snapespeare · 11/10/2012 07:23

yoga. Good luck for today!

western. Spoiled for choice- hopefully! :-)

OhWesternWind · 11/10/2012 08:46

AND another one that I've only seen this morning!! What's going on? Don't know what to do now really seeing as I get approx one night out a week ...

Movingforward123 · 11/10/2012 09:11

shuckle I know what you mean about fwb, my fwb has been asking me to go out on a date with him because he knew for once I had met a guy with a possibility of liking! But they know how to get to you and it does make you past the point of being horny Confused

I say go out and get drunk, that's what I would do, but I always end up doing something crazy!! Hmm

shuckleberryfinn · 11/10/2012 11:18

western, line em up and knock em all ;)

Yogagirl17 · 11/10/2012 11:25

Bloody hell, got the fright of my life - school phoned to ask if DD was off sick today, except I dropped her at school at 8:30 this morning! Phoned back 10 minutes later to say sorry, their mistake, they just missed her when they took the register. Angry

Off to my interview soon, feeling very on edge, not the best frame of mind to be in.

(Wow, Western - lucky girl! Wink)

watchoutforthatsnail · 11/10/2012 11:29

good luck yoga!!! ( bloody hell about the school)

western - hmmm, can you do any day time/ lunch time coffee dates? can you get a friend ro have your DC for 90 mins on a sat for a coffee date?

today is dump the puppy day. im sending the text at about 9pm when hes back in the country.....

Yogagirl17 · 11/10/2012 11:36

Good luck watch xx

Western - how about a speed dating day - each guy gets a strict 20 minute slot to impress? Grin

OhWesternWind · 11/10/2012 12:17

Yoga just a quick message to wish you loads of luck for later. You knock 'em dead!

KirstyWirsty · 11/10/2012 12:37

Good luck Yoga

Yogagirl17 · 11/10/2012 17:33

Hi all - just back. Long day but I loved it! I think it went really well but now it's back to wait and see. Met with different people this time than last time so have to wait until they've all had a chance to compare notes!

Oh, and I'm going for that tattoo!

watchoutforthatsnail · 11/10/2012 18:32

3 hours till text time and counting...

OP posts:
Yogagirl17 · 11/10/2012 18:40

I don't know...

Good luck with the text x

hatesponge · 11/10/2012 19:23

yoga fingers crossed you get some good news tomorrow just in time for the weekend!

watch it will be ok. you'll feel better once it's sent. is next date with pirate tomorrow?

I have friends coming tomorrow for the weekend, hoping they will take me to the pub at some point to toast my new job. cant really celebrate at work or on FB because none of my colleagues have other roles yet, I'd feel like I was rubbing it in Confused

watchoutforthatsnail · 11/10/2012 19:37

ive sent it.

he text me, as hes back in signal. So ive replied. Fuck, i feel wretched. I really do.
I dont have a choice over it, and i know its the worse thing to do. but bugger. its horrible.
I feel quite upset.
:(

Sponge - i hope they do too. i couldnt celebrate my new job for 6 weeks and had to keep my mouth shut, was VERY difficult!

OP posts:
watchoutforthatsnail · 11/10/2012 20:07

hes replied. says he understands and could sense something was up. thanks me for being honest (!!) and wishes me well.

Phew.

I can now stop worrying about it and concentrate on tomorrows date with pirate.

OP posts:
OhWesternWind · 11/10/2012 20:11

Well done Watch, I know how hard that was. So glad he's been sensible and dignified about it.

So, what's the plan with the pirate tomorrow?

snapespeare · 11/10/2012 20:13

watch. Kudos to the puppy for taking it on the chin.

What a sense of relief for you! :)

yoga. Glad it seemed to go well! :)

PM has gone quiet, I'm haing a major notebook wobble. Also feel a bit sad today at packing up my desk for last day at work tomorrow and stressed with all the usual uncertainty, lack of money and general life-toughs. No word from the prof either for a couple of days, which I'm a bit Hmm and a bit relieved at...

NicholasTeakozy · 11/10/2012 20:21

Well done Watch and good dating tomorrow.

Fingers crossed Yoga, hope you get the job.
