Made it all the way to my downstairs hall with gym bag in hand before I decided that driving in ****** weather to go the gym and run on the track with cough cough congested lungs might not be the smartest thing I could do today. So back in my laptop chair with a cup of coffee.

What's coming down? Is it snow or is it more so sleet? It's coming down so fast I can't tell.

Women seem to be attracted to married men. May help your chances.

Ha, do not agree. At the risk of TMI, married women like me because I am a nice guy, very non threatening, and like talking with women. They have no interest in me, they already have a guy. I have no interest in them, they already have a partner. It's the perfect friend zone. On the flip side, non-married women have no interest in me cause I am a nice, non threatening, stable but boring guy. It's a kind of a lose lose. And, yah, TMI.

Yeah. I only have interest in the married man in my house who needs to clip his freaking nose hair (that's why I gave him the cool electric tool to do that lol).

Some young single women like dirtbag guys when they are in their living dangerously phase, then don't understand why all the good guys are taken.

I'm sure lots of women would think you are a catch.

Don’t know if you have ever been able to key in n on football coaches, these may be the worst. We have an assistant who will drop the F word every 3-4 words. At the parent meeting the old HC justifies it by say just because a person swears doesn’t make them a better person or if someone doesn’t it doesn’t make them a better person. This meeting is just an excuse so he can make himself feel big and justify his poor actions.

Had a coworker who would use the F word like a conjunction. Fairly nice guy, but had his faults and past indiscretions. Yeah...totally not a customer facing job.

I knew someone named Jairren (JARE-ren) who did social work. A lot of their communication was through email, so they had many confused reactions when at face-to-face meetings when a client expected a young African-American man, and got a young woman with pale skin and very (naturally) blonde hair.

I think I should leave work early. The road are lousy and this way the traffic will be more spread out resulting in fewer cars on the road at the same time.
It's tough doing one's civic duty.

My wife and I were recently discussing a couple that had an affair. She described it this way, "I don't understand it. I don't have any interest in any other men and, to be honest, I don't really have all that much interest in you."

Speaking of this, my nose hair clipper just broke. The handle part still vibrates but not the little pointy blade at the top.

Do any of you want to buy a used nose hair clipper or should I just list it on Craigslist?

@BoxsterCy Did you see Dawn Sullivan got a head coach job at UNLV? Not surprised at all, but sad to see her go. Our oldest played softball with her daughter, great family.

Might help the cough if you added a little blackberry brandy. ;)

Call from mystery # today, so I didn't answer.
A little research shows it's a landline from Texas, near a school that I've applied at before.
I'm 99+% sure they're not calling a year after I applied and was rejected, but I'm just vaguely paranoid enough to wonder.

Another reason I don't really like the job searching. But the market is so terribly bleak this year that a made-up idea like this sounds good.

Not exactly sure.

I meant single women. Seemed like I had women hit on me when I wore my ring (always been and will be faithful so nothing happened) but stopped almost immediatley when I took it off. Stopped wearing it when my job risked me losing a finger along with high probably of losing the ring even if I didn't. I've had other friends tell me the same thing, they noticed an uptick in women flirting once they got married. Maybe we just noticed it more.
