Just heard from a friend whose w works where my x does. The scoop is:<P> The om has lost his job!<P>What makes this so funny, at least to me, is that my x was always thought I would lose my job. It got so bad that I quit even discussing my work. Truth is I never was even close to be fired. Why she thought that I never was able to find out. I feel that was a lack of repsect on her part. She used that I never talked about things against me too.<P>Well I guess things aren't so wonderful in fantasy land afterall!

RWD,<P>Was gonna say congrats, but that sounded too weird. I can completely relate, though. Anything that throws a cog in the wheel of affair bliss somehow boosts my spirits a little. A couple of days ago, I got a notice in the mail from my & H's bank. He had written a check to OUR account from his & OW's account (has her name on the check). Anywho, their check bounced and the check was returned to ME! I no longer use our joint checking account, I have my own, but my name & address are still on it. I thought it was funny! When I called H to tell him about it, he kept stuttering and sounded completely flustered. The "Real World" strikes again. And I thought Paradise was perfect. Too bad about his bounced check fee. Tee-hee .<P>------------------<BR>Blessed be.<BR>****************<BR>Keridwen<P>Keridwen_7@yahoo.com<p>[This message has been edited by Keridwen7 (edited June 02, 2000).]

hey Bob, I keep hoping for the same thing (it's morbid, but oh well) The OM in my situation happens to be the CEO of a small business, <BR>but I keep in very close touch with friends of mine who work there (and they're telling me the same old story: he's a b*st*rd of a boss, he has <BR>a ridiculous temper, and they're ready to bolt for something else). Y'know, it's actually an advantage to know the OM and his business and to <BR>have true friends who work there....I can see that the end is near to their utopian situation (ah ha ha ha hee hee hoo...that was insane laughter).<P>It's only a matter of time...<P>I'll say it...congrats on the OM losing his job; in our situation of deep valleys and small peaks, I know you'd take ANYTHING that resembles at least<BR>a speed bump in their relationship! (as would I....)<P>theo<P>

Bob,<BR> I just wanted to say that I'm really,really sorry the OM lost his job........NOT! <BR> I have a good story for you.One of my former supervisors who was new in my shop,started an affair with a young co-worker of mine.They tried to cover it up,but you know how fast these things get found out,(she told her girlfriend,who told another girlfriend,who told another girlfriend,and so on,and so on......).<BR> Anyway,management frowns on these manager/worker relationships,plus the fact they were both married.It continued on for a while until someone ratted on him to his W.Then the [censored] hit the fan.<BR> His W filed for divorce.Her H filed for divorce.He lost his nice house,half of his retirement savings,has to pay child support on his 4 kids,and almost lost his job for his philandering.He did lose his management job,got booted out of our building,and makes a lot less money.<BR> Oh,he lost his girlfriend,too.I think she just liked his position of power.Later,she was fired for poor attendance.<P> So,what do you think the moral of this story is???<P> --Murph<BR>

Murph,<BR>My x had gotten in trouble at work after we separated for acting like a teenager in heat while at work. She was counseled a couple times about her behavior. I should leave an anonymous message for them to monitor personal phone calls between her and him since they can't see each other at work any more (wha, ha, ha, ha)!<P>Bob<P>------------------<BR>"You can't always get what you want!
