More about yesterday. June 29, 2012

  

I can’t make out what went on at the main office. I tried to ignore her. But it almost seems as if she can’t stand people ignoring her, even me, at least, in person.

When I first came in, nobody was around. She apparently arrived while I was seated at my desk and was at the other end of the building hobnobbing with Jay and the other sales people. She seems to feel comfortable with them and may even be at the bar tonight where Jay will be playing bartender.

I had planned to show up there with my wife after the movie, just to show I’m not afraid to be out and about in public.

I left the office for coffee when I saw the owner come in and saw her on the curb talking to the owner. I said hello to him, but not to her.

Later, I went up to the third floor to talk to our former temporary boss. I didn’t notice her reaction because I kept my back to her the whole time – although our former temporary boss kept looking past me and at her, perhaps in some visual means of communication I didn’t catch the meaning of.

Since she has told him all about her stalker from New York, I wondered if she has also confided in him about her trouble with me.

Still later, when I talked to the receptionist, I also kept my back to her, heard her snort and then stomp on passed me, indignantly.

On Thursday, when she was struggling to get copy before she left on an extended weekend, I sent her a press release dealing with one of her towns via email. She responded back, “thanks,” even though later I found out she had also received the information. So, I’m assuming the “thanks” was being sarcastic or is it something else?

Taking control Aug. 2, 2012

The poem she posted today echoes in tone if not in content that of her quicksand poem. While as short at the previous poem, this poem about compassion is much more structured, using parallel phrasing to give it power and impact. Yet despite its brevity, it is incredibly complex, and creates a number of possible alternative interpretations, depending partly on for whom the poem is written. My ego (my narcissistic self as she referred to me in an earlier poem) would like to think the poem is directed at me, and so like the poem about quicksand, offers a certain measure of condolence or compassion for a clearly defeated man. But the poem may well also be directed at herself, about the idea of compassion or perhaps pain. While the overtly it claims to be about compassion, in fact, the poem goes beyond both pain and compassion and may well allude of a philosophy of survival. As with the quick sand poem, this poem seems to be offering advice, although less fatalistic. The most

Reflections of Coelho March 2, 2013

    At some point in all of this mixed up, jumbled up world of hers, she posted a saying by Paulo Coelho, which said, “If you’re brave to say ‘Good Bye’ life will reward you with a new ‘Hello’.” Coelho de, born in August, 1947is a Brazilian lyricist and novelist and a member of the Brazilian Academy of Letters since 2002. Coelho wrote the best-selling novel, 'The Alchemist,' which sold 35 million copies and is the most translated book in the world by a living author. He has been frequently described as an author that “thrives on contradictions and extremes,” which may well be why she is attracted to him, and why she recently got into the role of Mata Hari in her real life, perhaps influenced by Coelho’s fictional take on the well-known temptress and spy. Born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Coelho attended Jesuit schools and was raised by devout Catholic parents. He was obsessed at an early age with the idea of becoming a writer, something his parents frowned on, and his i

Who needs a man when she has Netflix? Sunday, February 8, 2013

   None of this can be about me – although her posting and other internet moves seem to indicate that I am somehow involved. For instance, she deleted all of her likes, comments and personal uploaded videos of her brother, mother and friend from high school from the YouTube account to which I am subscribed. This may simply be coincidence since it is clear that she is in the middle of a romantic falling out with someone, most likely RR, in which she has an ongoing exchange – or at least, I hope so. Yesterday morning, she posted an image that says, “I’m sorry if you don’t like my honesty, but to be fair, I don’t like your lies.” Again, this may well be a pattern of her life, always engaging in the same conversation with people, but part of my conversation with her involved her telling me things about her other romantic and sexual engagements, and something I asked about with our former temporary boss. But since she tends not share information in that way, this probably has to
