I Finally Told My Boss.

[Mahnarch]

You all know that I've split with Lori (my 'lovely' wife) a few months ago but, I've had difficulty with letting anyone know at work.

My work life and my life life are two different things.
I don't air my dirty laundry where I get my paycheck. Plus, it's none of their business what I do off-clock.


Well, Friday I finally got up the courage to tell my boss-man that we're no longer a couple after he asked me, "How are things?" "Good. Great." "How's your wife?" "......well."


I spilled the beans.
Well, most of the beans.

He knows it's all her fault and that I was an innocent bystander with the things that she did/said/spent/killed/tormented/thieved/burned/cursed/resurrected from the pits of Hell, etc.

It feels good to finally let him know. And, I immediately let my closest employees/friends know.
(The only friends I have are my employees.....that's sad.)


I was kind of embarrassed about letting people I see face-to-face, every day know about these things (Lewasite not withstanding) but, I am overwhelmed with the support I'm getting from my co-workers and subordinates.

My boss-man even offered a comforting ear and time off (with pay!) if I needed it.


Those that know me (personally....Demona) know that I don't need any sympathy other than the "trying to get through life without looking like a loser".

I am sad that I couldn't make my one marriage work out. And this experience has made me turn a sour eye toward any future relationships I may have.

I doubt I ever will have another one, however.

I think I'm done with relationships. It's a waste of time and money.

I will, however, keep the text picture of Kimm and her friends at the beach that she sent me.. ;D


I also realize that, once the word of my single status is revealed by the Press during my Presidential Campaign that women will be rushing to be with me....I'll have to pay Vix, Slayer, Aido79 and Possum to keep them away - by any means possible.


Any[/b] means.......

I understand not telling them sooner. I think personal stuff should be left out of the mix until it's necessary to bring it up. Usually you know when the time is right and you decided that it was now and not then. It makes perfect sense to me.

[Mahnarch]

Thanks, Phil.

I figured I'd have to tell him sooner or later - especially when it came time to take her off my health insurance but, I've never had a chance to get him alone, either - plus, the humility that I would feel.

[Blastgirl]

I agree with Phil. You have no obligation to tell such things. It's up to you when you want to discuss that if you wish to discuss that. I can understand the feeling of having it off your chest too though.

[Mahnarch]

It's a HUGE load off my back.
I have been lying to my work-peoples for so long. And now I can finally let all this stuff go.

No more, "Are you bringing Lori? (to a company X-mas gathering or Golf outing, etc.)" "No. She's working that day."

Bah. I hated that.

[Demona]

When I read the title I thought you were going to say you quit work or something crazy. Thank God!

Well, I understand she was awful, I heard the horror stories. I don't blame you for thinking now you won't date again, let alone get married. However, people don't know their future so you can't say that. Because you had a run of bad luck doesn't make you a loser, it just sucks.

As far as keeping dirty hobag chicken heads away from you, I'll be happy to take the job. It takes a b*tch to deal with a b*tch! Lol!

[Mahnarch]

Heck no, I would never leave my job (except to take a 4 to 8 year leave of absence after 2012).

If I did the company would sink like a lead balloon.
I took one day off a few months ago from too much pain and in that one day we lost 3 trailers to remote places and an entire trailer of freight got delivered to the wrong place.


I think I'm done with relationships. Period. Sad to say.
I find women attractive but, in the end, it's not something that's for me.


As far as keeping "dirty hobag chicken heads" away from me....you're hired! I've seen you lift my fat dogs off the couch. So I know you can take care of yourself.

You can be my Secretary of Keeping Hobags Off The President.

[Jersey]

It's nice to see that you're fellow workers are supportive and encouraging. Just having a breakup is hard; but getting divorced has to be a whole lot worse.

Anyway, what's your idea for me in your administration? I'm certain anybody that watches the Presidency will know me as the in-corruptible guy who doesn't put up with any B.S. from foreign administrations, congress, the House and Senate, or fat cat business owners and even big oil. I'm sure you'd have a spot somewhere.

[aido179]

how the hell did you find out I was a hired assassin? damn...i was hoping that secret would stay a secret. oh well...id be glad to do some "any means possible" gigs. XD

as far as telling your boss, well done! im glad you have the weight off you shulders

[Phil]

We wont be telling anybody aido179 your secret is safe within the lewasite community.

[Mahnarch]

Jersey: Hmmm. Big. Young. Football guy....
If you're dad teaches you enough about gun safety and you heal well from your knee surgery, I'll make you my right hand Secret Service man.
Would you take a bullet for me?
Throw your gun to me after you do so I can take down the looney who shot at me?
And, remove a Senator's chair from his desk as punishment for being a liberal dumbass when I challenge his earmark on a bill?
(I will force a Senator to sit on the floor if he/she dares challenge me on some stupid spending like "$244,000 to study the cause of pig feces.")

....do you look good in a tie? (clip-on, of course)


Aido: I said "any" means.
A bullet, or a bed.....either works, I guess.
James Bond did both....and you're from the U.K., just like Bond, James Bond.

Better to have loved and lost than to have never loved at all.

If you love something set if free,
if it doesn't come back, hunt it down and kill it!.

Or something like that. lol

hehe, james bond is unreal. dan craig is doing him justice
(i dont wanna hijack the thread, but I have a bit of advice: though not very anti english myself, irish people (especially as you go north) tend to dislike being called part of the UK. though geographically we are, we have faught to have a free state and a republic. There are people I kno that would take offence to being called part of the UK (As we are no longer united). not me though. XD)

[grape]

I'd be glad to help with the possible problem. I'm a fox, and I'll pounce off onto anything. hehehe...

good thing you got that load off too.

[Mahnarch]

Phil: If you love something set it free.
If it comes back wanting money run away as fast as you can!

That's my motto.
Though, I don't really love Lori, any more.
Just saying her name repulses me.


Aido: Uhm, yeah. Sorry. I forgot that Ireland and England are like the U.S. and Canada. The same but, different.

The U.S. doesn't hate Canada, though.
We see it as America's hat.

And, it ain't never done me wrong. It's the country down *gestures south* there that's the problem.

No offense, Vix.


Vix: I'm sure the ladies won't be paying attention to me after they see you - Mr. Smooth with the curl in the hair...

[grape]

no offense taken. Mexico is somehow beginning to destroy itself. I wouldn't be surprised if a revolution or like that would happen. Since the crisis, it's been going down and well, causes problems everywhere else. At least I'm fine, I can cross over to the US legally if I wanted to, I just need cash for the plane tickets. I was born there.

dual nationality ftw.

Also, yep you have to accept, they just won't resist. x3

[Blastgirl]

I remember you saying you're from Oak Ridge. You're an Oak Ridge boy. ;D
