What is even happening?

Which reminds me of the term work-wife or work-husband. Would anyone here say they have one?

I had a work husband before I met Scott, although I probably wouldn't have seen it that way, at the time. It got awkward once Scott (who worked for the same company, but 7 floors away) and I were serious. To be clear, it wasn't awkward because of Scott. I think work-husband had a problem with it.

W-h then dated a new woman in our group who turned out to have enormous issues, and he had terrible problems with her. I think she might have gotten pregnant and miscarried, but our work-marriage was strained by then and I'd been made acting supervisor through a weird confluence of events.

Soon after, I got a better job and left the group entirely, landing in an office, not far from the cubical area where we'd all sat. I was just thinking about this last night, because we watched The Office, (U.S. version) and I found myself 'shipping * Jim and Pam, and then realizing they reminded me a little of w-h, and me, before things got complicated.

I guess my work situation is complicated by the fact that my big bosses and a couple of other co-workers are actually relatives of mine. So, closer ties and out-of-office socializing, but not as much commiserating about the office.

This has been such a week at work, that a bunch of us are going out for drinks this evening. This has happened all of no times before, although we talked about it one other time. All I have to say is at least it's almost over. Only 2.5 hours left, and I'm not staying more than 1/2 hour late today. I'm not.

Stay strong, libkitty.

Okay, these don't look real. I mean, I know they're not, but they look unrealer.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

They look as if they might pop.

I thought she had gotten her implants removed, but she certainly doesn't seem any smaller.

And thanks ita.
