The Ventilator; Whats on your mind?

Welcome to the Ventilator

As you enter through the Front French Doors, you come to the foyer featuring a nice leather couch and indoor fountain. Noticing that the statues are strikingly similar looking to the owner you continue looking. To the left you spot the door to the arcade with a few games and pinball tables. Then, to the right you see the tropical indoor mini golf facility, play. As you enter you notice the sounds of a light breeze, water trickling and birds chirping.

Walking through the foyer, two the left and right you see an office door on each side, one labeled, Sick, Twisted & Evil and the other Cool, Calm & Collected. Approaching further to the rear of the building you see another door labeled TOOLS. Finally, reaching the rear of the building you can exit through the rear French doors.

Exiting the building you see the exquisite built-in Fireplace & Bar B Q. It’s a delight to those who love to spend a warm clear evening outside in front of a fire. To the left you notice the telescope to explore the stargazer in you.

Welcome to the Ventilator, the point of all this is to relax and get it out. I offer my services to listen, advise, or even mock . If it’s on your shoulders, let me help you out. Play some golf, relax in front of the fountain or work up a sweat pumping tokens into the arcade. What ever rolls your ball, but what ever you do…Vent!

*Bursts through the Front Doors, accidentally shattering many of the panes. Stops and pops a piece of broken shard into her mouth*

Mmmmmm...sugar stunt glass, nice touch, Toolish!

*continues in rage mode*

Oh yeah...if a woman (say like ME) is in a position of authority (like I am) and a man ( :glare: ) flirts with you while you are trying to run a meeting (as I was) do you think it would be OK to throw him on the floor, growl and bite him into submission, thereby establishing your ALPHA status? Or what? What am I supposed to do with that???

*notices a tray of snickerdoodles*

Ooo, cookies! <munch munch> Don't mind if I do!

Well now, that depends. Is he good looking, how many poeple were there, and of what gender. If is was flirting (not harassing), flirting is the same as brown nosing. If you were a man, he would be brown nosing...so you see the parallel.

BTW what (man) :glare: mean. huh? Are you resentful?

Peeks in, wary of the broken glass, then tiptoes across it to lie on the sofa. Ok, I am going to tell you a story and get your impressions on it. This is actually about, well, a friend of mine, yea,,thats the ticket, and I was, well, she was wondering what I, I mean she should do......

OK, Hypothetical situation (yea, right). Say you live in a nice, duplex townhome, which you own. (All of it). And say you rent the other half out to a nice, nice looking guy, who is, say, a pharmeceutical representative, and have done so for, oh, a couple years or so. He is a good tenant, very clean and neat, takes care of things, etc. He is nice, a hard worker, smart, funny, etc. OK, and say, he has a girlfriend of over a year, who lives in another city, say, 250 miles or so away. They see each other on weekends, sometimes she comes here, and sometimes he goes there. And say, sometimes on the nights or weekends that she is not here and he is not there, you might go out to dinner with this guy (as friends), or watch a movie at his place, or he at yours, or maybe go to the pool together, or to a Braves game. Ok, you know the girlfriend and like her, and she knows you and likes you. Ok, so say that you are hanging out with this guy one night, watching a movie and drinking a few refreshing, frozen beverages, (but not drunk, not even close), and he tries to kiss you. And say, you want to kiss back, but you do the right thing and turn your head and after an awkward moment, you act as though nothing happens and finish the movie and he goes back to his place.

So, what do you do now?


Takes a deep breath and waits for analysis.....

Just that particular man = :glare:

If it were just casual flirting, I know a brownie when I see one. This was more trying to distract me by trying to turn me on. Brushing his hand across my knee to reach a paper, sitting a bit too close and blocking me in my seat, whispering funny little comments while others were talking, and stuff like that. It was my first time to run a meeting, and he seemed to want to break my stride. He's not a friend, and he's married (although a shaky time for them) and he is very ambitious, but DOES NOT and cannot improve his position by flirting with me. Mixed company, he's nice looking, nine people. Go. lol

Problem numereo uno...let him worry about that, unless you get serious...don't get two-timed Christie. If you get serious let him take care of the long distance relationship. If he's an honest guy...he'll brake it off.

Hah, go with it. See where it goes. Personal experience of mine...was almost exactly the same as your "story". Except that I am the guy. The akward kiss, turned into a wedding kiss a year later. Just dont get two timed. That would be shitty.

Ok, I see. he is being extremely difficult. I actuatally head meetings, and sometimes you have to be a prick or in your case a bitch. But, it will only have to happen once.

Two ways to appoach this...smug him, or do it back.

Tell him to ask you to pass the paper to him next time. Also, displays more authority for you, almost like he needs permission to use paper, hehe.

Crack a joke like..."move over, your cramping my style" gesture *shoo shoo* with your hands.

He's inturupting, even if you can't hear what he's saying...abruptly ask him if he has any thought...when he says no, and he will, reply "I didn't think so" or "I guess there's a first for everything", depending on his personality.

Perfect, this display's you dont have favoritism, which will show the women to respect you and show them to stand there ground against this kind of thing.

Hope this helps.

Damn eloquent, my friend. I did do some of those things, but I think I was too subtle. I don't need to go for the jugular, this isn't Dynasty afterall, but I have a stern glare and a sense of humor when I need it. Thanks! whew...

Can I play mini golf now? (I actually have a link to an online course, if you want it)

Well, there's going to have to be some transition overlap. Sound rude, but its true...if you two get the ball rolling and he's worth his breathe, he'll break it off with her.

*Kloister begins venting...exactly what no-one is quite sure just yet!*

Well, there is this programme of work and they have started arse about face and when you try to get stuff done, it stays done about 5 minutes before some faceless and spineless beurocratic muppet moves the goalposts. You then hear this through the grapevine...'Ooh, I know what would be a better idea!'

Give me strength!

So the people who are actually going to be using the stuff are not going to like it, use it help in any way. So everyone will be screwed and billions of pounds will go up in smoke...

Hey what do I care...I have my holidays to St Ives and the Maldives booked for later this year...

What is your professional opinion?

Truly, I have no idea what you are talking about...but it seem, you are talking about wasting time, energy & money. More or less an "exercise in futility".

Is this right.
