Follow Up (Cheating on my employer)

As I reported on my previous post, my five year relationship with my current employer has hit the skids and I'm looking to put them in my rear view mirror as quickly as possible.  This started in November and for four months I felt like the fat kid with the bad skin who couldn't get ANYONE to dance with him.  Then in the past few weeks I had two beautiful potential partners, the one with the telephonic approach came through with a request for a face to face, and so I took a vacation day last Thursday and drove to Boston to see her.  She is in a beautiful red brick building in Marlborough, MA and I felt completely at ease talking to her and her two employees.  They were all very cordial and nice, but I sensed that I may not be their first choice, I was scheduled to spend two hours with them but they cut it short at an hour and forty minutes.  While I know I did not embarrass myself, I did not get the warm feeling all through my body that comes from either true love or a really powerful orgasm.  The positive news is that this will not be the kind of relationship that keeps you hanging, they expect to decide who they are going to go to bed with by next Friday.  In comparison, my current employer took 3 months from first interview to written offer.  So while that is potentially in the works, my hopes are not too high.

HOWEVER, the beautiful young company from South Jersey who I had spent a wonderful day with two weeks ago, called me on Friday to see if I would be available to meet with the suit from the parent company.  Now, as nerve-wracking as meeting the parents can be, I have always felt comfortable at this stage of the relationship.  In previous experiences that I've had like this, for example when I met my wife's parents, I didn't fare too well.  But, as you can see from the fact that we are still married nearly 29 years later, the parents rarely make the final decision.  I feel confident that my being invited to this meeting is a very positive sign that the original relationship went very well and they want me to move in with them.  Also, this will be the fourth person from the company that I will have met and usually the fourth date is a no-brainer YES I WILL GO TO BED WITH YOU(Unless my daughters are reading this, then you need at least 137 dates, an engagement ring, and a new car before you sleep with someone).  So wish me luck, say a prayer and hopefully next week I will be posting a new chapter to my life story that will begin in Swedesboro, NJ.
