Figure out this one who NEVER talks deeply!
The guy who sent me the birthday flowers is now 79 years old and single. He has no personality, or else it is just for men. Women are not attracted to him, but he was my supervisor in ’69 when I was in the crash, and told my Dad to tell me that
1.) my job would be held for me until I was able to return.
I was helpless and
2.) he began coming to see me twice a week, bringing gifts, and every Friday I received fresh flowers from him---one whole year!!
3.) He brought me home from the hospital, picked up my daughter first, to my new apartment and as the evening progressed he said, “It used to be that you could have any man you wanted. Now you can’t but I want you” and proceeded to force me. I could only get him to stop by crying. I kicked him out. He was still my boss. (1970)
4.) Somehow he got back into my life and came twice a week and brought a mickey of rye, but we had nothing to say, so watched TV and drank .Became a habit. He was attaching himself to my daughter and me, as he had no ‘family’ of his own.
5.) He came every Saturday morning to take me grocery shopping. I finally got up earlier and had it done myself when he came and the hurt look on his face was so visible.
6.) He has spent thousands of dollars on my daughter and me in expensive gifts. For some reason my daughter got along with him, as she met him when she was 6 (but had seen him once at the office before when she was maybe 4?)
7.) When her father died in ’79, this guy pops up with an expensive diamond and a proposal. I turned him down (He said I didn’t have to do anything. We would live in his house..inaccessible….. not mine.. just have a hot meal on the table at 7:00 p.m.
8.) Somehow my daughter and I got stuck going to his family’s place for Xmas and New Year’s, but he had a niece who is my daughter’s age and they got on so well……. ……well..oh he had a nephew that made me look twice. He is a helicopter pilot and still single too. Said nephew is illegitimate and I think it was this man’s way of saying he was okay with my daughter’s illegitimacy.
9.) He has purchased something for my granddaughter that will put her through University.
10.) He sends huge cheques for all MY grandchildren now, for Xmas and birthdays.
11.) I cannot count the times I asked him to, and he did, leave my life because he depressed me, and before I knew he was back in.—weeks—months—but there he was
12.) We were 28 and 38 when I began working for him and now 68 and 78-9 and I will be rid of him only when I die, or he dies.
13.) Last year he sent me the diamond ring and said I could sell it as he didn’t know what to do with it. I forget the appraisal value, $4.000.00? but one cannot sell for that. I sold it for $500.00
14.) Well, lordy lordy. He just called to wish me Happy birthday! and to get my thank you for the call, the flowers, the card etc. His psoriasis is worse than my unnamed rash. He sweats in summer and cannot eat soup. He told me again about his gall bladder from last year. He is working hard. His flowers are blooming in the garden and he gave me the perfect opening to remind him I cannot stand up to see the flowers and cannot get them in one vase and that crap was strewn from my computers desk to the kitchen—there was one flower petal and one leaf that fell off my ‘chair at the comp desk. So I didn’t lie just made my point. Now he is going to send me pre-arranged not over 12” high.
15.) I once asked him what his parents had been like, since there were 9 children and only one of them married. He became angry and said to never say anything about his parents again
He's a curiosity all right!
