I hope we can keep in touch too. Hey I wonder if you can answer a question for me. My OM works constantly, 7 days a week, and seems to not have time to call me or if he does its inbetween appointments. Our first day was actually squeezed between two appointments. Should I approch him about this or do you think as time goes by he will get more attentive?

I don't mean to worry you, but that sounds a bit suspect to me. If he has the kind of job which truly takes all of his time, then I'm sure it's fine. I work in a very chaotic industry and my schedule is changes everyday, but I still find the time to call. Have to run . . . will l continue this post soon!

Hope this isn't too much of a hijack, but Dark Dixie, I would think that's not a very good sign for a long term relationship. If anything, it's usually the other way around; plenty of time when everything is new but then it dwindles with time as the relationship becomes more established, comfortable and even taken for granted to some extent. I hate to be negative, but I wouldn't see him becoming more attentive....either by choice or necessity.

All of us have a different work and living situation and each of us has to understand the one we are living in and make it work the best we can. Your OM may be working 7 days a week for many reasons that we don’t know about such as early retirement, saving for a special vacation or this is just his peak season.
I was and still am guilty of working 7 days a week at times but I made a job change a couple of years ago so I could spend more time with my family. It was something we talked about first for I was going from a nice government job to a worker for much less money but we would see each other all day and we went for it and it was the best decision we could of made. Within two weeks I was promoted to manager and within the first year I was making double the money and now I have no commute and we see each other all day long.
I wrote this because it all happened because of our open communication and this is just what you should do with your OM when you have something on your mind. Now don’t be pushy on the subject but make it a learning experience to understand were he stands and him your feelings. Something to remember is we are all individuals and have our differences and what has worked for us is what I told my Love the first day we spent together, “We can agree to disagree”

My OM did call yesterday and we talked for about twenty min. I tried bringing up the working all the time thing and he told me that for he last two years he never too time off. He said he needed time to get use to the idea of time-off. I am a very talkative person and like to have interaction but it seems like he is more of the quiet type and wants time to think before moving.
