Aye. Same rules that apply to my Chat apply to you Chat. Keep it PG-13 or the moderator comes in with some ice water and asking you to cool down. :)

And since I've seen you girls in action..

*leaves the ice water here, knowing he'll need it later*

*goes off to higher wet suit*

Lesson 1: How to be sympathetic even when you couldn't care less.....

So 4 months ago I was put in the position where the company I worked for lost the contract that I worked to another new company that had only been operating for a year. However they came and head hunted me.....wasn't too sure at first because the actual job isn't that great, thought maybe it was time to move on. They quite frankly made me an offer I couldn't refuse. In the first month of working for them my car went to the crushers, my cooker broke and my TV went poof, so feeling secure with the money/job they offered I replaced the TV and cooker, last week I was on 9days break so went out and bought a new car!

Feeling a little miffed at having to go back to work on Wednesday I wasn't just in great form, but off I went anyway got there to be told within 5 mins that during the week I was off one of the major contracts they had was pulling out this Sunday due to a lack of business, half an hour later they lost a sub-contract (the company that hired them for use of machinery had fixed theirs so no longer required it) So I am now back in the same position I was in 4 months ago, not knowing if I'll have a job in a months time, but this time I have actually spent all that money too...Bahhhh!!!

sympathy, sympathy.......

This is cracking me up.  Personally I think dyc's hilarious.  I welcome his spunky banter anytime. 

Let me preface the following by saying that I am taking a break from dating through the end of the summer to focus on some of my goals.  All my friends know about this and have vowed to give their support.....

Ok, so last night I get a call from this guy my friend knows from her gym.  She thought he and I would make a good match, so she gave him my #.  (What the hell is up with that?  People are crazy....so why don't you go and give some stranger who you've seen at the gym a few times my #?  That would be great!)  Anyway, so I'm relaxing and I get this call from him.  He explains where he got my #(since said friend didn't give me any heads up) and starts to tell me about himself.  I very politely tell him that I'm very sorry, but my friend shouldn't have given out my # w/o asking me and that perhaps it would be better to talk at a more convenient time (trying to buy time to find out what's up from my friend).  He freaks out on me and says "Listen if you don't want to meet me just tell me.  I don't appreciate you wasting my time".  So I said "WASTING YOUR TIME?  YOU called ME."  I told him that although he seems very nice, I'm just not interested in dating right now and I wish him the best.  He proceeded to scream at me, so I hung up.  He's called my phone 3X since then, the latest call being at @ 12:30 this morning.  He's left messages that I have yet to bother listening to. 

So, on the agenda today:

1. Delete voice mail messages from psycho gym rat.

2. Call friend and explain the concept of not giving out a trusted friend's phone # to people you don't know on the premise that they may be Hannibal Lecter.

3. Possibly get phone # changed???

4. Check all the locks, double check all the locks, triple check all the locks.

*checks her phone and see's a 4th call from Hannibal about 20 mins ago...Damn!

That's freaky as heck, Chris. Sheesh.
Yes, dear friend, that's why I'd prefer you not give my number out to random psychos. Thank you.

anndjoe:  You have my sympathy.  I know you'll get through though.  I've read many a post from you and you seem highly intelligent.  They wouldn't have hunted you otherwise.  Keep your chin up.

Oh, yes indeed HK.  I seem to attract 'em.  Hmmm....what does that say about me?  Ha!

I would say that it says two things about you. 1) That you are unlucky and 2) that you have friends with dubious tastes in men.

Belated Sympothies for Andy for Work Woes. :p

Very true.....wondering if he is OK I think purespark had him last.......

I do hope she put him in the recovery position and didn't just leave him there......

*choking!*  

on the note of your caller.......ooooh definitely give your friend a little talking to about giving out your # and then the advice I was just given recently was get a whistle and blow the B******s eardrums out  ...........if he persists.

 Very interesting.  I hadn't heard the whistle method.  I'll have to stop by the dollar store on lunch.  And I have actually had friends do this sort of thing before with less dramatic results.  I guess my thought is, if there is someone you think I would like, talk to me first.  I am so particular that I'm still single at 30 years old, but you think YOU should pick out my next boyfriend.  That makes sense! 

Thank you for your sympathy's I'm feeling better already

poor me....poor me....poor me

And I never go in for this self pity thing so distasteful........

sngb...that makes total sense......there is nothing wrong with being particular or expecting friends to ask your permission first before giving away personal details....so over the line where I'm concerned.

Can I get an AMEN?!!  I absolutely agree anndjoe.

I'll live.

kg:  She's at work and I won't be able to give her a piece of my mind until later.  As far as verifying the info he gave...it is the gym she goes to, and I just text her yesterday afternoon, so if he stole her phone or something, that might make sense.  Didn't think of that. Hmmm... 

*contemplates a candy bar from teh vending machine upstairs.  decides to go for it.  Coffee?...check.  Chocolate?....check.  Only 245 cals with some creme and splenda included.  Pats self on the back.

Apparently my brain is scattered today.

Really. I thought people only did that in scary movies.

AJ, that just blows.  Is the economy as bad in the UK as it here in the States?  Lord I hope not.

Chris:  #5.  Kill said friend who gave your # out.
