Pix, I think you answered your own question, chica. He probably feels the weight of all that you've done (and are doing) for him and feels incredibly awkward about leaving you. Maybe?
No studying? Damn! Next thing they'll tell me is I'll have to eat jelly doughnuts or sleep with a supermodel to get things done around here. I ask you, how much can one man give?

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

The status is NOT quo.
That would be so nice if it were true, and maybe that's a piece of it. I hope so. We've also had some disagreemets this year, mostly due to how touchy he can be about minor events, so I think it may also be that he is very conflict avoidant and thought it would be easier to pretend or deny rather than just tell me.
Honestly, it bums me out. I like to think that I'm fair and approachable, and it makes me sad to think he doesn't feel safe enough to just tell me the truth. You know how it is, Java, as someone who's been a boss (though much higher up the food chain than I am).
I also just don't like unnecessary secrets, and he in the past has accused me/the school of being too secretive. Ah, irony.

Oh, that is ironic, yuck. You're just as high in any food chain as I ever was!
I bet he's totally conflict-avoidy. And from the sound of it, even though it's bumming you out understandably, maybe he's an energy creature that you just don't need around.
You're one of the most approachable and fair human beings that I've ever met, and also one of the most giving. I think this is on him. And I know I am biased, but I am also not prone to saying stuff like this if I don't mean it.

You're awesome. I really needed to hear that, sweetie. Thanks.
And he is actually a massive energy creature, though also a very good teacher. At this point I truly do hope he gets another job -- in part because he will be happier, but also because I will be.

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
Should be in bed, but... well. Not. I managed to not do anything on the to-do list. Blargh.
Pix, get some sleep, would ya! (ha, like I'm any better)
Nora/Smonster? How goes it down there? Anyone else picturing them, sleeping on each others shoulders in the waiting room? Aw, they are so cute. (ok, so I need to get out more, so sue me)
And by that, I mean, I hope it's all going well, and that the docs are taking care of you.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Brackets, Pix.
Home. Nothing immediately life-threatening, interim diagnosis of lymphangitis (blood poisoning). Course of ABs and Percocet as needed. Follow-up with PCP.
Fall down go boom now. I kept trying to get Nora to leave, she wouldn't go home. Nice lady, that Nora.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Nora is awesome. But we dont like our peoples blood poisoned.
Glad you have abs and good drugs.

Yay Nora! Boo, blood poisoning. I hope the ABs clear it up quickly.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Ack, smonster. I'm glad Nora took you to the ER and that they know what it is (but it still doesn't sound good). Hope the ABs help quickly.
Teppy, migraine~ma. I hope it eases up quickly. (Acupuncture is good. I've been having regular acupuncture for mine and it seems to have reduced the frequency.)
