Many years ago a then new manager sent a question to all of us in his group asking for honest, thoughtful answers with our long term goals and short term goals. He got all upset with me and a co-worker for answering: short term - make it through the day; long term - make it through the week. He said we obviously got together on our responses and thought he was a joke. We both told him we didn’t collude before hand (we didn’t) but those were our real goals and we both thought it was a stupid question. He then appealed to his superior via email to all of us for permission to write us up for insubordination and was told via response to all of us to quit being a stupid jack wagon and leave us alone. He’s retired and a good friend 25 years later but he was a pain in the butt when he first got into management.

Wife's Diary:

Tonight, I thought my husband was acting weird. We had made plans to meet at a nice restaurant for dinner. I was shopping with my friends all day long, so I thought he was upset at the fact that I was a bit late, but he made no comment on it. Conversation wasn't flowing, so I suggested that we go somewhere quiet so we could talk. He agreed, but he didn't say much.

I asked him what was wrong;
He said, 'Nothing.' I asked him if it was my fault that he was upset. He said he wasn't upset, that it had nothing to do with me, and not to worry about it. On the way home, I told him that I loved him. He smiled slightly, and kept driving. I can't explain his behavior I don't know why he didn't say, 'I love you, too.'
When we got home, I felt as if I had lost him completely, as if he wanted nothing to do with me anymore. He just sat there quietly, and watched TV. He continued to seem distant and absent.

Finally, with silence all around us, I decided to go to bed. About 15 minutes later, he came to bed. But I still felt that he was distracted, and his thoughts were somewhere else.

He fell asleep - I cried. I don't know what to do. I'm almost sure that his thoughts are with someone else. My life is a disaster.
