Clingy-ness.....Eeesh!

Craving : Beef Wellington

I felt like blogging today, but didn't have anything to blog about. So I had actually decided to forego blogging, however a recently concluded meeting with my boss and couple of collegues just changed all that. One of my colleagues it was decided was going to have problems meeting a dateline that had been brought forward, so my boss had called him in to the meeting to have a discussion on what was too be done. Overtime and coming back on weekends was suggested, and my collegue agreed to that, but then proceeded to ask "Er, I bring my girlfriend along can arr?". I believe all the other three inhabitants in the room were quite shocked. I mean the objections to this were obvious right? How was he to concentrate on work while his significant other was in the same room. He claimed however that he would be able to concentrate better with her in the room because she wouldn't be calling him all the time and he wouldn't be worried because she was waiting for him at home. My question is, if you are already having problems concentrating while she is not around, what's gonna happen when you have her with you in the same room and she being bored out of her mind? You concentrate better? I don't think so! My boss tried to reason with him and said, you know you could have breakfast with her on saturday..come in abit late and then work till about five or so and head home. Apparently this wouldn't do either, because she always wants to spend time with him. Even explaining to her that this was only going to be for this few weeks wasn't an option, because she would still want to spend time with him and wouldn't be happy otherwise. Overtime on weekdays is a nono as well, due to the above said reasons. I tell you I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I couldn't believe anybody could be this unreasonable and so clingy. Hello! You're in a relationship! You're not handcuffed together..there has got to be space! Eeeessshh..really can't stand girls or guys like this. I mean you got to understand, it is not because the guy doesn't want to spend time with you, but it is just that he has stuff to do, and it is only for a few weeks to boot. My boss even asked him, "If your girlfriend is like this now, what is going to happen when you work in a bigger company? What are you going to tell your boss then?". Oh man, I really hope I never end up in a realtionship like that. I mean..I don't think I could handle it......Excessive Clingy-ness = BAD.
