silliest break up story
Sep. 2nd, 2005 01:34 pmwhere I worked last year employed a guy called M
M had backpacked around NZ and been a labourer whilst there, smoked a lot of pot, he was a laid back, cruisy (alt. lazy) bloke. None of which I had a problem with, expect that it was all connected with him not being able to do his job properly and expecting me to forgive him for it, cause he was such a 'cool' guy. Actually he just irratated all hell out of me (not made any easier with the constant attitude that i must underneath be just like him on the grounds i was a kiwi)
M had a girlfriend who was a dental student, they lived together. He never really struck me as the type to be settled with one person, but its possible he'd drifted into it.
Anyway, his girlfriend has graduated. Like everyone else in that job, he was desperate to get out, and had failed to do so in the edinburgh job market. However, his girlfriend got a dental job (at £75k pa) in london, found them a nice flat and M lined himself up a job (£27k pa (his current one was £15k) and handed in his notice, hurrah.
Except that last week, they were on the phone to each other and got cut off. She assumed he'd hung up on her and he assumed she'd hung on him. And they both went 'oh well if they are going to be like that I ain't calling first'. At the begining of this week there was some communication, ending with a text from her 'I think we should just be friends'. When M recovered from his hangover, he had to call Human Resources and withdraw his notice (he was due to leave end of this week, on the grounds that his salary wasn't enough to live by himself in london.
there must have been under lying issues, and i know i should sympathise with mikey, but i'm to busy giggling over how stupid it sounds
