Well, here's an update on Mariane. Looks like she's now moonlighting at ALO and Studio Chantal. I got a most untimely phone call from Studio Chantal's number, yesterday. I picked it up and it was Mariane on the other end of the line! She gave me some lame-ass excuse about having lost my number, and then finding my number again when looking through Chantal's phonebook. It's funny that she had no trouble remembering the numbers to Veronica ALO or Studio Chantal to get jobs from them on her own, when she got both those numbers from me before! Somewhat selective amnesia, I guess.
It looks like times are tough for the spas these days, what with the changing laws, and it being December anyways when there's less spare change to go their way with Christmas coming. So it's likely she's taking extra shifts. She usually used to only work one day a week at any place, but perhaps real life is finally catching up with her, and that she can't live her fabulous hippy lifestyle without also working more.
I told her that I couldn't talk at that time, and that she should text me back sometime later. She said she had forgotten her cellphone at home, so she couldn't text. Oh well, too bad. I didn't call her back, I'll let her sweat it out some more. If she really wants to reconnect with me, then she'll have to make a proper move. I haven't contacted her in five months (looking at the date of my previous messages in this thread), and so I can say I've won the waiting game, she blinked first. I'll let her blink a bit more. If I do get back together with her, I'm gonna make sure she restores all previous services she had withdrawn from me, of course, at the very least.
I mentioned this to her former and now once-again current coworker, ebony Angie, that she's come back, and she was thrilled. :roll: When Mariane last walked away from Chantal's, she gave Angie a hard time and provoked a silly pissing match between them.
