4 hours sleep and lots of booze

Ouchy-tooth-of-doom is gone forever! Face now feels like I've been beaten but it's better than the debilitating toothache by a very long way.

After getting pissed off all summer by comments from people who I vaguely work with, I completely shaved off my beard in a fit of drunken rage last night at 03:30.

Now my girlfriend won't look at me or talk to me.

Been invited out for a colleagues leaving drinks tomorrow - the chap who's currently in a relationship with woman I'm, for want of a better word, in love with, has been invited along.
It's fair enough if I make excuses, right?
I do in fact have a small filming job on later that evening.

Are you sure it isn't because you've sliced half your face off while 'drink shaving'?

No sympathy from me.
It's entirely your own fault.
Just grow it back. (8+)

Of course it is!

There's always the "make friends with him" option. Keep your friends close..

You really should talk her Alex, it's going to ruin your health this situation,

Okenobi, you are the master of your own face

Have you actually told her how you feel (and not when you're both totally wasted)?

We were quite good friends. I once gave up 3 days processing time on the Mac here performing some file rescue on his family snapshots after his portable drive lunched itself.
I don't do things like that because I expect a reward or anything, but it's coloured my judgement now that on numerous occasions I went out of my way to help him with stuff and it was never returned.
Do I really want to spend time around him? No, I really don't. He's pretty much confirmed my thoughts on white guys with dreadlocks.




I've tried, I've explained, I've questioned. We had a long chat in a pub (I'd had a single pint to steady the nerves, and she doesn't really drink) after she told me she was seeing him, and the crux of it from her perspective was giving me tips on how not be friend zoned the next time. Which somewhat completely missed the point.
I wanted to talk to her about the situation before we broke up for the summer break, but she always had better things to do - I really wanted to clear the air because I didn't want an awkward air at work.
And yes, things for me, at least, are very awkward. I can't even make eye contact with her at the moment.

As hard as it is to do you have to do you have to tell her how you feel. Trust me on this, I've been there and it's even more difficult when you've moved on with your life to find out 7 years later that they felt the same way and neither of you said anything.

I'm fairly confident she knows how I feel. I've been very open about that.

If you've told her you feel and she's completely clear about it then you have to seriously consider avoiding her outside of work.
It might make her realise she can't have things both ways and act or it'll give you some space to relax so seeing her at work isn't so bad.

Oh totally, we only see each other in work and I get all stressed and freak out with anxiety, and then I have to leave the room.
Ever the consummate professional, me.
Just really don't want to deal with her current BF, so I won't.
