...and relax...

She's on leave this week, and most of next. Frankly it's nice to have a rest.

That said, one of my team asked me about the fraud case palaver yesterday and said she'd heard Bob might be involved. Well, yes he was I said and gave a rough outline. Today I thought better and asked her not to tell anyone else - they all knew already, she said. A llot of people seemed to think he had it coming, particularly the women. Arrogant, she said, swagger, tan, all that.

Funny thing, my boss used that exact same word when she was talking about him with me last week. "Arrogant". Hmm. Well, very popular characteristic with the ladies, that, in my experience.

And I did succumb again to the temptation to rifle through his and her online diaries again. I found seven lunch dates starting in March 2004, the supposedly declined "de-stressing" invitation, and entry reading "Laptop for Mrs B-" and a few occasions where they both took the same Friday off - which could be co-incidence of course. I also found a Saturday entry for him where he appeared to have scheduled a day at the races with the co-accused contractor (same first name anyway).

I don't know, perhaps it's just the not knowing that's the draw. People love detective stories, don't they?

So that's all for now. In general my plan is to work as hard as I can on on not being bothered, non-attachment, and just wait and see what happens, play things by ear. I'd like to get her on her own again and talk to her properly but she's seemed less keen as I think I've noted previously, so I'll follow her lead as best I can.
