So, in the midst of the stress week over the upcoming job interview, I get an email from my current employer saying something to the effect that since my last day of employment is Friday, just make sure I fill out my time sheet one last time and it'll be processed next Tuesday.

Huh? HUH??? WTF?

No answer from anyone for hours. My supervisor finally got out of meetings and was shocked and mystified, too.

Then the woman from my employer finally calls back. "Oh, we have the wrong John. Sorry."

That's about it. She repeated it three times. But that was it.

Sorry.

I am glad it turned out to be a mistake, John.

So ... is your houseguest a human, Matthew? Or perhaps an unwanted animal or insect?

Human. Old school friend of the DP. Well, 20 years ago anyway. Thanks to Facebook, they re-connected - well, sorta - it's a hot mess. It's one of those situations where it's the DP's friend and I really don't need to be his friend. But I've been "left" with him since Monday, and I feel my space has been violated, etc... I just don't feel the need to be-friend him.

It sounds like you just haven't clicked with him and yet you are the one entertaining him, which I can imagine is uncomfortable.

Time for that cocktail and a tonic. Watching "Dreamgirls" on DVD. It may work better on the small screen. There is some good stuff in this movie.

DR Jane. He is all drama and ignorance. I don't need that in my life. He's a little too comfortable in my house. I'm very uncomfortable with how comfortable he is in my house. And it's not my place to tell him that.

Some people are very good at making themselves comfortable

Isn't he going out and doing things? Were is he from?

He's from Pennsylvania. Broke as anything. Won't go into SF alone, and didn't want to go when I offered to take him in on Monday. DP said he'd be fine on his own, and I wouldn't have to worry about him, but he hasn't left the couch since Monday afternoon. (and eating our food, using our internet, tv, etc) If the DP and him had a better friendship, I would feel different, but the DP is flippant about it as he's not here all day. I can tell he wishes he weren't here either. But since he has no (excuse this) BALLS to do anything about it, we are stuck. I certainly am not in the position to do anything either, I don't know him and really don't need to. (I believe I've said that before a few times)

I'm not spending a dime on him. I've already provided him with food, shelter and INTERNET. And he's broke

Jane · « **Reply #139 on:** October 17, 2012, 06:55:52 PM »

Wow, he spent the money to fly out to you from PA just to sit in your place all day!!!!

I can understand not wanting to go to SF on his own, especially if he doesn't have any money, but passing on a free ride. Something is wrong with him.

Have you seen his return ticket home

Why would anyone fly cross country if they were flat broke? I would suspect he has no intention of going back to PA. Sorry Matthew, just my opinion.

Matthew, I am sorry to say that you are a victim of a couch-surfer. He probably has no intention of leaving until he is forced. In fact, he may be looking for his next couch on Facebook right now, so that he has a place to go to when you give him the boot.

Don't ask me how I know this.

You've done your duty. I would just leave him alone. But make sure he's not online.

VIBES that DR Matthew finds a speedy resolution to his Couch Situation.

Of all the things I would not like to have, one of the top contenders is a Couch Situation.
