Well done, Pluto! Isn't that 6-pack STFU stuff yummy?!

Bug, I'll give it a go.

G'luck!

[Pluto]

Thanks guys.

So I was having a bit of a tough go this morning... there's a girl at work who's getting married this weekend, so everyone's peppering her for details within ear shot of me, so I was having trouble blocking that out... when I see a global e-mail going out about a car window being smashed in the parking lot -- and of course it's my car they're talking about.

So after assessing the damage, I snap a few photos and upload them to facebook. Within seconds, literally, WAW is sending me messages asking what happened and if I'm okay. I answer her in brief sentences, and she goes on to tell me her heart sunk when she saw the picture pop up in her feed... and I asked why that was, to which she told me that all she saw was my smashed window and she didn't know what happened to me.. that she's glad I'm okay. I thanked her for her concern and told her I appreciated that she reached out to me.

She initiated a bit of an R talk of sorts, in that she told me what she says in anger isn't what she actually means or wants, and that this has been hard on her and she's lashed out at me in anger. She admitted it wasn't one of her finer qualities and it was something she recognized and was trying to work on. I tried to validate her feelings and let her know I understand this is tough for her too.

It's nice to hear she does still care about me, the speed of her reaction through me off.

Maybe not such a write-off, after all? Trying not to get my hopes up too much.

It means nothing!

[Pluto]

The rants? The concern about me/my car? All of it?

I suppose I should know better and that I should believe nothing.

Pluto,

Considering the circumstances... do you feel WAW or OM had anything to do with the broken window?

[Pluto]

Not at all. WAW works near home, and OM lives on the other side of the country.

Also, I heard from a coworker who said they were passing by when the window just shattered on its own (which supports how it looked when I came out - the glass was pushing out from the inside).

she told me what she says in anger isn't what she actually means or wants, and that this has been hard on her and she's lashed out at me in anger.

Surely this is understandable as you did the same thing.

Did you apologize to her for your emotional explosion?

No.. missed a good opportunity there. I did, however, validate what she was saying and told her I understood this was tough for her as well.

[labug]

It's never to late to apologize when you know you've jumped a boundary and were not being the man you want to be.

Yep
