Oooh bad timing
So we had long live comedy last night, which was excellent, if quiet. The quality of acts far outweighed the size of the crowd, but them's the breaks. For a review, try http://www.longlivecomedy.blogspot.com it may take a day to come on mind.
Had a couple of drinky-poos afterwards, and once again had to explain to other people that I am allowed to oggle the lovely rock chicks in the Head of Steam because I'm not married any more.
Thus began a conversation which would be unpleasant in print, but what I will say is I found out what I should have said to Nicola when she told me she was leaving.
You see, we had been to a festival the weekend before, and she told me on the monday night. Whilst at the festival I had a rather lovely young thing called Jasmine show me a lot of attention. We got a little drunk, and a polite enquiry was made, which I just as politely refused, pointing out the sanctity of the institution of marriage.
Thus when Nicola dropped her bombshell, I should have looked her in the eye, and said:
"could you not have done this 72 hours ago?"
It turns out this is the best way to deal with rejection. In any given rejection situation - job loss, not being picked for your team etc etc. It wouldn't half take the wind out of the sails of the dumper, and you would feel much more comfortable with your role as dumpee.
