I know I should stop posting about this, but I'm going to anyway.
So, something happened to Mr. Diva this weekend. Maybe church was exceptionally good on Sunday or he had a Christmas Story type night or maybe he just wised up.
But R isn't quitting. He said that Diva came into his office and had a long conversation with him re: expectations and Diva's reputation. Diva told R that Diva and I had butted heads a few times, but that we'd always been able to work it out and had a decent working relationship that was constantly getting better (which is true. I had told R as much on Friday when everything went down.). Diva said he wanted the same sort of working relationship with R. So, R is willing to give it a shot.
Completely and totally selfish *whew -- wipes head*
