Ha!

I'm not sure what I was expecting today. I hadn't really formulated a plan beyond "SHOW NO PAIN" . . . but he didn't have the balls to talk to me at all before, why would he have the balls to talk to me at all now? There was nothing said, and there wasn't even eye contact. I couldn't even tell you what color shirt he was wearing, much less if the brown shoes are still around. We contentedly ignored each other ALL day, just doing our work.

I'm not letting the guard down, but I'm not expecting anything from him. I'm also not initiating anything. What is there to say that is not trite, patronizing, or a flat out lie? And furthermore . . . why make it any more of an issue than it already is? Why fuel the drama that he threw ME into? I'm so done. My lips are sealed.

Regarding my goals:

Stand/sit up straight: check
Avoid vomiting (in front of anyone): while mildly nauseated when he walked in, I held it down!
Look good (if not fabulous): check. Classic black & white, Barbie pink pedicure peeking out of classy sandals, ponytail, and Tiffany butterfly.
Get some work done: check.
Smile: check.
Smile some more: my face almost hurts.
Engage someone for drinks after work toasting my success in the previous goals: Dusty's picking me up in 20 mins.

Excellent work. Tomorrow: just another day. Warrior mode will be sustained for the time being. Silence is golden.

And quite productive, might I add.
