I didn't know I could be so angry at a human being. I've been angry and upset with someone before, but not the way I am angry at The Rock right now. He has managed to push me to an emotional low that I didn't even know was possible.
If you remember, The Rock is a physician. Yesterday he showed up at my place of work for a meeting with one of my bosses (I have four), because he is entertaining the possibility of joining the group that I work for. This is why he wanted to talk to me yesterday, among other things.
He showed up for his meeting about 20 minutes early so we could talk. When the secretary up front told me his name, I was ready to kill him. I ran up front, practically shoved him outside, and started to yell at him. What on Earth was he thinking showing up at my job?
He explained why he was there. One, the meeting. Two, he was hoping to take me out to lunch. When I heard about the meeting, I was floored. I barely had time to process that when my boss (my boss!) walks outside, shakes The Rock's hand, and asks me how I know him. I manage to force a smile, come up with some lame excuse about being old acquaintances, and then excuse myself.
After their meeting, The Rock came around to my office. I walked back outside with him then very calmly and politely asked him to consider what he was doing. That if he had any feelings for me at all.... if he ever once cared about me... then he would not try to get a job where I work. He asked me to lunch again. I told him no because I had no desire to sit through a meal with him. Oh and because he's married. He said he and his wife had reached an amicable decision years ago... they no longer loved each other but she had grown accustomed to their lifestyle. And he needed a wife for he professional functions. He liked me and though that I would be discreet about an outside relationship.
What the hell kind of marriage is that?
I told him he could stop talking. Apparently he didn' t have a clue about who I am. I deserve better than to be someone's mistress. If he and his wife have that kind of arrangement, that's fine. But I will not be party to that. Ever. And I walked away.
Now if I could just figure out how to keep him from getting a job here.

Oh wow... what a sticky situation!! Well you could always rat him out to your boss and convince your boss not to hire him.... If he took the position there, would he technically become "a boss" as well? I know most places of work frown upon those types of relationships... Easy out, maybe? I dunno. Bottom line, he's a giant douche and doesn't deserve you no matter how he spins the situation.
