Ok, first of all. I totally agree with k9soul's comments about "dishonesty/two-faced people". I'm exactly the same way. If I don't like you, you're probably going to know it. I don't go out of my way to be nasty or anything, but, i also try to avoid faking how I feel. There is a girl I work with that is exactly like the receptionist you were referring to. I'd rather have someone tell me to my face that they don't like me and to leave me alone after that than be fake.

And, for Richard.....Here goes. I've only been on this message board for a couple weeks, but, I love your posts. And, I was reading the last few posts in this thread and got to yours, but, I didn't see who's it was. I'm reading it, thinking...this has to be that guy, Richard. So, I looked, and, sure enough! It was you! You make me laugh. thanks!
