Sometimes...

Working the theater job was mostly grumbly because of customers. I really don't think the job itself was evil, nor the people (save the one insane drug addict). But it does seem to have a certain mindset to it that got worse when the newest manager took over: "Keep working!" >whipcrack<

I'll tell you something that I haven't told anybody yet. It's really not harmful in itself, and I don't know why I didn't bring it up with the Mrs., who deserved to know these things, but:

After shows or work I walked women to their cars or, on two occassions, homes, to make sure they arrived safely. Sometimes this took me a good distance from the car and increased the amount of time I was out. To be honest the night air felt good.

This does not excuse me, nor should I have done it. There are plenty of campus services that deal with that sort of thing, and the amount of time away from my family was hurtful.

You think it's not harmful. It's not the time away from the family that was the worst thing. It's not even the deceiving me about how many hours you were actually at work. If you had told your wife after doing it the first time, she might have mentioned the inappropriateness of you following other women home at night. What do you suppose *they* thought was going to happen? Hmmm?

They had a pretty good clue as to what was going to happen: nothing. They was the drugged out one and I made my intentions quite clear. She goes inside, I go away. Since it happened more than once, I can also imagine that any expectations the first time lessened subsequently.

Still pretty naive, honey. You have no idea how many times a guy has come on to me under just those circumstances. This is why we avoid even the appearance of inappropriate things. Well, why I do. And of course, your wife's feelings get hurt when you put other women before her. (*puts away clue bat-- but not too far away*)
