I have gained an overly chatty neighbour who has put my lack of enthusiastic response to the invite to come watch a movie with him sometime to offence at 'implied' cracking onto.
Extra implied 'as if!'.
I am not a social person.
I have been very polite.
He was supposed to fence his dog in, as it was not a dog friendly rental.
My cat had been missing two days.
(He is back now)
I am working twice my usual hours because someone is off sick for May.
He seems to be reacting to the concept of 'duplex' like others might to share house.
It is not a share house.
He keeps offering to do stuff for me.
I know i am messy and useless, but i don't want people to do stuff for me!
I want to do it or nothing!
And i like it messy!!!
I feel so more secure!
Like I've left boobie-traps to ensnare trespassers .
If only there were a fence!
He is in his seventies or so, and obviously not used to living a single life, but ...
... but ....
... secretly ...
... secretly, I wish I were a serial killer and knew how to hide bodies, sigh.
On weekends when I work alone I speak to at least 150 people face to face.
I would take calls from probably twice that.
After shallow unrewarding potentially antagonistic interactions with 450 people in 7 hours, i REALLY don't want to see, talk, integrate with a living soul wot is not a cat.
I don't think it is unreasonable to expect my neighbour and his rather lovely elderly dog wot I am already sneaking treats too, to stay on their own side.
I am trying to wrack my brians of elderly patients who might want a man.
He has had a knee replacement, so he probably could dance?
Sorry, you can't send him this way.
ReplyDeleteI feel your pain (and would be bat-shit crazy) if I had to speak to that many people in a day. Or a week.
