Evening all

[MaryPoppins]

So, first week in new gig.

Got chatting to the man next to me, today. Within roughly 8 minutes, he had told me his first wife had left him and his kids for another woman, that he'd been abused as a child, and about his daughter's complicated labour earlier this year [in horrible, horrible detail].

I mean, WTF?

Perhaps he knows about my fear of small talk.

[doodab]

Perhaps he's sad and lonely.

[scooterscot]

You're in there.

[doodab]

You're in there.

Exactly. In just a few minutes you've found out he's single and is probably filthy. Why overcomplicate things?

1. He now has a 2nd wife and is at least 25 years older than me
2. How does the above reveal he's filthy?
3. What makes you think I would like someone filthy?

You have the energies of a receptive person who is open to listen

Tell him you're a contractor, so a therapist would probably be cheaper than your time.

You mean you don't?
