Le Sigh. Men suck.
You'll be proud to know I did not humour this invitation. Not even for a second. And made it extremely clear that I wasn't interested and that he should take his vows to his wife a whole lot serious.
An old b/f and I have always been good with boundaries etc. As soon as he got married we did not dabble in the flirting and/or hookups that we use too. I might have had my own issues with men cheating on their g/f's, and doing nothing about it, but married men. I draw a solid line there.
He's recently been in town a few days a week to finish setting up his new company etc. Having been friends for 25 years, we made plans to go for drinks and dinner etc. No biggie. That is, until he started texting me that he was bored, alone and horny in his hotel room and asked if I'd send him some pictures.
WTF!?
I was short, curt and too the fucking point of saying NO! He tried saying it was harmless flirting and that he'd never cheat on his wife etc. I explained to him while he may be trying to convince himself of that, I'm sure his wife would have other thoughts on the matter. It's cheating. It's one thing to look at porn or do some online chatting with a complete stranger. Cos the chances of you actually meeting up with that person are extremely slim. Though, to try and have that same conversation with an ex g/f who lives only minutes away from where you're staying... I'd say your wife will have an issue. It's cheating. All of it. You took vows in front of family, friends and maybe your God. They mean something.
I told him, unless he was capable of being a responsible party in his marriage, I could not meet up with him for dinner and a visit. This threw him completely off. I am no longer his "go-to girl when we're both single", cos we're not both single. Once he realized all the begging and attempted convincing of the "flirting was harmless" wasn't going to work and that I do have a line that can be crossed. I haven't heard from him since. Nice.
I emailed him last night to say, it would be great to see him, made some light conversation about the things he was tying up in town etc, and left it at that. Just trying to put his attempted adulterous to the size and continue on that we've been friends for 25 years. His reply. "Nope, busy". Well, that's that. No more long winded emails chatting about things old friends chat about.
Moving on. Hey Men. Stop being douchy okay.

If You Find My Sleep; Could You Tell It Where My Head Lays?
I can't sleep. It's been so long since my last bout of insomnia, that I forgot what it does to me. There was nothing gradual leading up to it. It wasn't up an hour longer each night etc... it was up 4.5 hours longer. I did not get to bed until 2:30am. I have to be up at 5-5:30am. I might, might be under a little more stress than I like to admit. Add the Christmas season to that, and whola, I'm having a bout of insomnia.
To top that off..... I have to train someone today to do part of my job. No biggie. Still stings a little. But. But........ I'm only training her on what I trained the others on. Since anything more than that just gets ignored cos they know I'll be in the next day to deal with whatever errors or customs issues ensued. They won't have that luxury anymore.
(not all of which are the shippers error - our invoices are impeccable. So much so, this courier uses our invoice template to train others, so I'm told.) I like the girl I'll be training. She's young in age, but so much older in wit and smarts. She gets music and movie references far far older than her.

Dear Boobies & Uterus:
What in the hell did I EVER do to you?
Sincerely, Just Saying.
Ouch. It hurts to have clothes touch my chest. Stupid womanhood. I don't suffer from side effects of having a period like some of my fellow womanhood do. I've been extremely lucky that way.
I use to laugh at women who'd call in sick due to "coughcrampscough" in the middle of the week every month. Oh come on!!! Take some Motrin and get your ass to work! Or those who bitch about diarrhea or migraines. Pussies. All of you.
......that is, until I experienced it first hand. I started getting very bad headaches about a year ago, that soon turned into migraines once or twice a year. The first time last year when I had cramps, I couldn't walk. My mid-section couldn't carry the weight of my body. You know the area, between your upper thighs and top of your pelvic bone. Weak. I curled up on the couch in a position that would let me rest without crying, a hot water bottle, and the strongest pills I had in the house and called in sick. Wimp. Not so. It's a pain like no other.
I've never made fun of someone since, that calls in sick with cramps. Of course there are women who abuse that right, and those that do, I hope it finds you ten fold when you can't afford the time off.
I was hanging out the roomie last night, organizing the chaos that will destroy my apartment once I start wrapping gifts etc. Not sure how we got onto the topic of womanhood, but the roomie looks up and so seriously says, "Aren't you due to get yours soon? Like tomorrow?"
ummmm, ya. I forgot that when I lived with The Douche and T, they would always know within days when I was roughly due. The Douche said, it sounds gross but it's not. The chemistry smell changes. Pheromones etc. They could both tell when I was due cos I would smell differently. I didn't think sensing pheromones was a conscience one. Maybe men who live with women are more in tune with us than we give them credit for?
Ok, I don't know about you, but when a girl hears "you smell different" no matter how good natured it was meant, you tend to freak out a little that everyone around can smell the change in your chemistry makeup. I've never forgotten it, and since then have actually developed a bit of a complex when it comes to smelling bad in any way shape or form.
Last night I was sort of in shock with the roomies comment. Asking him how he could possibly know that. He mentioned the same thing, sort of. He could tell by the change of my body behaviour etc.
This morning. I got my period.

Toshiba Laptop Might Be Dying.
I'm a little worried about my wee little Toshiba laptop. The fan started running a couple days ago once I turn on the computer, and won't stop. Sure when the laptop gets warm the fan is suppose to turn on. Why does it happen when it's not hot?
Virus? Bios updated needed? About to bite the dust?
I'm buying a laptop airflow thingy after work to ensure it's getting the proper airflow and staying cool etc. I've had this computer 5-6 years and never had a problem. It's home is currently on an end table. Never on the couch or bed or anything soft.
I'll try and see the if the ITguys guy G can work his magic on Monday. Otherwise, I have a feeling I might be purchasing a new computer for the new year.
If that turns out to be the case.... what to get? My last comp was a 17" dual core HP. This one is only 13" and apparently more powerful than my last one.... that might have been the case 5-6 years ago.
To switch to Mac or not? hmmmmm. Any Mac users out there?
I would love your un-bias input. Mac users are very much like Volkswagen drivers.
You either love or hate them. There is no grey area.
Okay blog-o-sphere family send me your input, your knowledge and anything else that will help me with the pending new purchase. Has to be a laptop btw, as I'm limited for space as to where I can put a computer.
