And, of course, the potential job has gone south. I got a one sentence email from old boss stating that his friend now just wants to hire me as a paralegal and "work out" the assistant position. He was supposed to call me today to tell me more, but, again, of course, has not. Not that it really matters, because I can't imagine a scenario where I would do that. I am done doing paralegal work. And there's no way I could be both his paralegal and his assistant. He has someone doing a limited version of that right now and even that isn't working out. There is no way someone could truly be his personal assistant and his paralegal at the same time. And I've already told him that. At our meeting, I told him that being a paralegal is seeing the trees, where being the assistant is seeing the forest, and you just can't see both at the same time. So it looks like this will be a no go.

Speaking of no go's, my ex called me the other night (I didn't answer) for the first time in a month and told me to check my email. It was this long email telling me everything he had told me in our last two conversations...which he clearly has no memory of. I wrote him back questioning that, and implying that I think he's either drinking or taking some sort of medication/drugs that he shouldn't be. His reply was completely circular and ignored a lot of what I'd said. I am so over it at this point that I can't even write him back. I just don't know how to say "You're clearly lying, and you are now definitely ruining all my old memories of us, so let's just give up this attempt at renewed friendship (or whatever) and go back to our own separate lives."

Men are just so damn deflating. In all areas of my life. It really sucks.
