As I was getting ready for the interview - I had to change into interview clothes and do make-up/hair here - H complimented my outfit. Then he indirectly tried to sound me out about my plans for the evening, saying he didn't have any and was 'open'. I was diffident, saying that it depended on what happened in the interview, plus there was a movie I wanted to see.


My take is he's asking you out without haveing to ask you out. I think you are wise to be concerned about the rejection. Play it cool until you get back from your interview, then, just as a passing thought, maybe we should go to a movie....

Thanks, Mac & GIMA - that's my take, too. Hard to know when I'm supposed to GAL and when I'm supposed to stick around. But, you have a good point. I will come home after the interview and maybe there will even be something to celebrate.

Mac - It's Julie & Julia, a chick-flick involving Julia Child. smile Reviews are good, plus I like the two lead actresses.

The trouble with having an open mind is that people put things in it.

My W read the book and said she wants to see the movie. Sorry, but I am not going to make that one. She's going to see it with one of her gf's with whom she will be taking a cake decorating class soon.

Hi dai, I have to agree with gima's take on the asking but not asking.

That doesn't stop you on making your decision. Wanna go? Sounds good?

I thought this one was an oldie with Julie Somebody from the sound of muzak?

Hehehehe

Well, the interview went well and I'm pretty sure I will be hired. If so, I start tomorrow. I'm conflicted about it. It's only $13/hr for 30 hrs/week and that's SO not enough to live on around here. In fact, it won't even cover rent. But it's a job, and in the current economy, I don't see how I can turn it down. Bird in the hand and all. It's through a temp agency, so at least I can quit right away if I get something better.

I think I just goofed. H picked up that I don't seem too excited about this very low paying, can't live on it job. And it's not just I can't live on it w/ kidlet. I can't live on it by myself either. Rent for a studio around here is a grand a month. Taking a room in someone's house runs $700 - 900.

No clue how I'm going to make this work - but as God is my witness, I will.

Here's what I need help with. This is going to trigger a talk about custody at a minimum, and a full-blown R talk at worst. Any suggestions for how to handle it? He is going to suggest having kidlet live with him so I can get a cheap 1-bed or studio (which also gets him out of child support). Unless I am given a totally believable, 100% strong commitment that he will not initiate D proceedings against me and/or will work on the R, I am not willing to let kidlet live with him w/o me here in the house too.

How? By showing some emotion that is not directed at him?

By not being all "happy joy-joy, my life is so wonderful"?

Nah. We LBS's are still entitled (not my favorite word) to be human and have feelings.

Maybe he was disappointed that a job close to him may not pan out for you. You just never know.
