In come the Lions
May. 4th, 2002 12:38 pmThursday ended better than the middle part of it. I had an incredibly bad day, all caused by an e-mail sent out by the director of my department. The short version of the story is that I'm heading up a committee for something at work. I had to meet with our director to get some questions answered. After our meeting, he sent out an e-mail to the entire department, reminding people that this event is important and to make sure that I get the support I need. It also was written in a way that made it look like I was doing all the work (which is not true, and I said that in the meeting.) And then...of course everything came back to me...the writer of the e-mail was out of the office and so on. It was a less than happy afternoon. So when A. returned to the office, and read his e-mails, he was incredibly apologetic. It still didn't make up for the rest of the afternoon....but at least he tried to do right. People make mistakes, and I was upset, but it's over now. I'm just concerned as to how it will make the rest of this project go. Fortunatly it's only til the end of June.
Cute Strawberry Eating Girl from last week finally called me back...we went out Thursday night and she spent the night. And no, I'm not going to tell you what happened. You wish!
Friday night
moshah had a barbecue. A good time was had. And he made really good margartias, even if they were quite strong.
I think one of the challenges of polyamory for me has to do with when a relationship becomes public-especially when you're part of the same social circle. And that was actually part of what happened last night; gf #2 and I were publically together...she was snuggling me, playing with my hair, sitting in my lap...and looking like people when they're together. This is all fine with me; I have no problem with things being public...what drives me nuts is not knowing who knows, who doesn't and what's okay to say and not. Either way, it's out now. Makes things easier I think.
But with everything, there's always a flip side; I'm wondering if something I did crossed boundaries I wasn't ready to cross. There's nothing I can do about it; I can't go back and undo it, but I need to be clear with myself why I made the choice I did and how to move forward with it. I'd do the thing I did again, I'm just not sure that when I did it was the right time to do it. (As I talk in unclear terms and in circles...) I don't think I'd go back and change the choice I made. Which is good. I'm just wondering if when I made the choice was the right time to do it.
And now it's Saturday and I'm in the mood to be lazy. The stuff I need to do can wait a bit.
