Friday OT - Dear Abby

I don't think so. We're watching Parks and Rec now and I don't see her drooling unless Rob Lowe is on the screen.

I don't know how Rob Lowe keeps getting hotter every year, but it's amazing.
 
We have. Trust me. I was alerted that the premier was coming up every day for about two weeks.

This is what I said to my wife when the promos for his new show came on: "This show is totally unbelievable purely based on Rob Lowe's attractiveness. There's no way someone that attractive would become a firefighter when he could easily be a male model."

Must be his choice in hats...

Did you see the first season of the Bachelorette? The dude Trista chose was a firefighter and he was dammed good-looking. Of course, being a firefighter from Vail I'm pretty sure his most important job is probably modelling for the calendar.
 
It would be pretty fantastic, wouldn't it? Wanna call dibs? I'm afraid to google it!

I'd call it, but then I'd have to move the car out of the garage, dust off the guitar, and try to remember how to play it. I guess I can put my 5 year old on vocals and have my 18 month old be a dancer. She's got moves - not only does she do the "baby bounce", she's got a mean "juicy wiggle" in her repertoire..

Once upon a time, I decided I wanted to start a band named "Gary Sinise's Colon." But it was all nonsense instruments in my vision - like someone playing the saw, or a comb with wax paper tied around it. Maybe go that route rather than learning something with actual skill involved? That's how the rest of America works.

Imma need a minute on your band name.

But you've given me an idea on percussion for Testicular Reason...

I'd settled in on Gary during a lull in his career - but then he started a freaking band of his own and started CSI:Whatever, and THEN became politically notable. So his colon lost some of its lustre.

THAT would be amazing, and you need to make it happen!
 
(PS: Also having a very difficult time making myself shred the older photos. Just seems like such a shame that they've survived so long and then I'm just going to trash them - even though I've scanned them and made backups. I can be a bit sentimental about 'things'. Thinking of maybe offering them to family members if they want them.)
This seems like a winner to me.
 
I love pink shirts on men, if it works with their skin tone! Not every man (or woman) can pull off pink; I have trouble with many tones of it.
I went to a meeting through the skyway right after posting this. The first guy I saw was wearing coral pants with white loafers and a pink plaid shirt. I think he accidentally brought the bag he had packed for Miami on this trip. The next pink I saw was a guy who had bright red vinyl pants on with a patterned shirt that I could only describe as a cross between paisley and the design on a peacock feather. The center of each design was bright pink. On the way back all I saw was a sweatshirt that the entire top half was pink and then a pink button down checked shirt.

I guess this thread got me looking for pink on men.

Dear BC,
You know, I think sometimes even the strongest of us just need a good cry. I think you should send this person an onion and see if he still watches Lifetime and Hallmark after cutting it, and you will know your answer.

Regards,
CF

Why you addressing me? I’m innocent man.

Here's a legitimate life question I'm pondering.

I work independently in my job like 85% of the time. The other 15% is spent in meetings. I rarely have an impromptu meeting or co-worker "walk-in" happen in my day-to-day. I work/live in Minneapolis. My wife and I really want to move back to central IA to be closer to family and live in a smaller community. I think this can easily be done with my current employer. However, we don't really have any remote employees in the company. At some point, I want to ask my boss about going remote. He seems to really like my work and I really enjoy my job. That being said, if he were to say "no," then I'm likely looking for a new job in order for us to move.

Here's the question: When do I ask my boss? If I ask soon, I could get a "yes" and we start the process of moving. I could also get a "no" and then I'm awkwardly looking for a new job but not really ready to leave my current one; and I will have created a weird dynamic between my boss and I. Or, do I put out feelers about a new job, and then ask about the remote thing so I've already got Plan B, C, and D no matter what his answer is.

I'll hang up and listen.
My brother had a similar situation with a different twist about 15 years ago. He was offered a different job in his company that involved travel to sites around the midwest and even the rest of the country and occasionally overseas. The job was based out of Ohio. He told them that he would take the job under one condition. Since he would only average a handful of days in the actual base office a month he would move to Ames and travel to the work sites from there rather than moving to Ohio. At first they were a little reluctant but apparently found him valuable enough in the company to say yes. He worked through this arrangement up until a couple of years ago when he retired from that company and took a similar job with another company.

If you are valuable enough to the company and you can find a way to convince them that the work can be done that way they would be foolish to not give it serious consideration.
