"A man is a success if he gets up in the morning & gets to bed at night, & in between does what he wants to do"

the sun is shining here but it's bloody cold and i'm inside too :-) i really don't care what i'm missing in the real world today, it's my day off (more or less) and i'm doing dipsy-doodle (my term for diddly-squat).

so here's to lazy Mondays :-)

I can only envy you both, because I had to sit in the office, while outside it was the most beautiful weather (though quite cold). Had to spend my time with lists and analyses. :-(

Ouch! NOT a successful day for you then Ines... :-)

No, not really. :-) But one sunbeam: I had the chance to see my long-time secret love (a colleague of mine) today. This raised my mood immensely. :-)

ohhh! long time secret love :-) though love shouldn't be secret.

Unrequited Love - how beautiful. How tragic! :-(

Work relationships rarely work. Encourage him to resign! :-)

He wouldn't resign, I think (well, I don't know, if he would). MacKey, to tell him that I love him would only make things complicated.

aww! that's just not fair is it?!

No it isn't. But what's fair in life, especially concerning love? (Oh my, this sounds so pathetic!)

well, if fair means that things always falls out to our advantage, then not much in life is fair :-) maybe we should redefine our perception of fair?! i don't believe much in fate or destiny, i'm all about coincidences, and also believe things are what you make them :-)

you don't sound pathetic :-)

and love is hard work :-) (maybe you should just tell him).

Very difficult ... he's (still) married (his wife just left him and he still tries to get her back), and we are colleagues. So if I told him, I would have to face the problem that I couldn't avoid him, if he rejected me (which would probably happen). It would be very difficult to work together as usual afterwards.
Oh, and another thing: officially, he counts me as a good friend and I him as mine. And I don't want to risk that friendship. Rather I suffer silently, but have the chance to have this contact with him, than risking even this kind of relationship by telling him about my true feelings.

Aaaahh, Des, I hope you have no problem with this turn of mood in your originally so content posting!

i was thinking it was something like this, unfortunately :-( then you're right, telling him would not do much good. however, you will find Mr. Right :-)

I hope so. :-)

you will, i know so :-) don't pine for a man that isn't available, and i know that is much easier said than done.
