Thanks -t

I think the trick at this point is to try and at least build social capital out of it, rather than end up losing social capital. Like if I don't get the appointment this time, maybe I can rotate in later.

Sounds like a smart strategy.

That sounds right, Burrell. Good luck.

I wouldn't wait much longer before blocking him.

I'm not even visibly reading the messages, so I figure it's the same difference.

So it looks like you are deliberately ignoring him? I ask because I know jack all about dating sites. I think as long as you are conveying the message that you are no longer engaging him, even reading his messages, that probably works

Pulled the ac unit (while other is running, so weird.) was easier than I thought, though I'm not happy with the box situation, it's kinda falling apart. Crappy packaging.

And I jut got jury duty, in December.

Burrell, sorry you are caught up in the usual bullshit university politics. Saw a lot of that throughout my dad's tenure. I have a clear memory of the one I knew only as 'that jackass Saunders.' That was a deans' pick (went on to be a good Dean later, but was not the department's preference.)

That sounds like a good strategy, Burrel, but I'm sorry you're stuck in that situation.

Forgive me, I have to vent about this here, because there is nowhere else I really can. Someone on Tumblr asked me if I'm still friends with StuntHusband.

The truthful answer is "He lost his mind, reverted back to unhealthy and dumb patterns, went nuclear on me for things that were in his own head, and then did his traditional scorch-and-salt-the-earth dramatic flounce-off". And as satisfactory as it would be to actually say that in public, I really shouldn't. I probably won't even answer the question. But I kinda want to.

Excuse me, The Universe, whyfor you give my Buffistas interpersonal bullshit to deal with? We already have enough large-scale bullshit. We are all full up on the bullshit front. We do not also need individual-level bullshit. In case you were not aware. Thanks.

Oh, that's sad, Jilli! I hope he gets his shit back together.

So it looks like you are deliberately ignoring him?

Yeah, or have blocked his number? I'm not sure what that would look like on the other side.

Oh, that's sad, Jilli! I hope he gets his shit back together.

Oh, he won't. This is his thing, and he's done it randomly to other friends of his over the decades. But no one ever thought he'd pull this nonsense on me.
