AUTHOR: tbooty DATE: 11/23/2004 08:56:00 AM ----- BODY: ok. so i was SUPPOSED to meet up with the fireman last nite. didn't happen. (to be fair, the plans WERE tentative, but still.) i didn't hear from him and i'll admit i was a little pissed. i mean, i DO want to meet this guy. (matt's advice aside, i want to see if there's anything "there" in person.) but it didn't come to pass. the part that makes me mad? i could SEE that he was online and signed in. earlier i had sent the "hey are we still on for tonight?" obligatory im/email and gotten no response. needless to say , last nite i was all "fuck it. he goes to the back of the line next to the musician." this morning though? i get this email: "hello, I am so sorry that I have not been online or available to chat. I have been working so much and going nonstop and am so tired but there is no end in sight until jan. All the things that I thought wouldn't be a problem are now coming up in my lap. Another trainer quit and so I have been doing two people's work and then doing my own regular shifts on top of it. I have not had time to do anything, not even really sleep. I understand if you are no longer interested and though would rather continue on as planned as far as meeting, understand if you're not.....fireman" ok, so now i'm torn. do i give him another chance? (ie: is that a good enough reason to have not gotten ahold of me last nite?) i knew going into this that he worked A LOT. and that until he was able to "scale back" (his words and idea as a matter of fact) his schedule that it would be difficult to work around his schedule to figure out when we could meet up. so i guess the big question now is "now what?" --------
