Some people have their set up so that their backs are to the door. I almost always feel bad for the ones I scare when I try to make noise loud enough to get through the headphones.

I hate that. I have to arrange my cubicle so I at least some view of people coming toward me. DON'T SNEAK UP ON ME JAGOFF!

At my old job I worked with a guy in that situation and he had a mirror on his screen for that reason.

Funny story of the day:

My ex-wife has been trying to be actually kind of friendly to my new wife and I. Sammy is expecting our new little guy in the next few weeks so apparently my ex feels some kinship towards her now?

Anyways, my ex-wife told my current wife that she would drive her to the hospital if she goes into labor alone in Ankeny when I'm not home.

Talk about an awkward car ride.

My wife told me she'd probably pass on that offer.
 
Reminds me of a weekend last year. My brother called me up and asked me to come help HIS friend move.

He'd agreed to do it, but he hurt himself. It was me and his friend carrying almost everything up to the third floor apartment.

I swear his couch must have had a cast iron frame.

My brother still owes me for that one.
We were sitting in the Copper Dollar watching the Big 8 BB Championship game (One of the two in a row that ISU lost 73-71 :() And someone one of the guys knew asked us if we would help move an upright piano at halftime. We go over and it was up a freaking flight of stairs that turned a corner. They had to hold the piano while I crawled under it to get on the other side to help hold it. We somehow did it. With a big scratch on the front.
 
Has anyone done a poll using the new website/know how many poll options are available to list? I know on the old site we could do up to 25 items. Not sure what the limit is on the new site.

This sounds like it is right out of a movie.
 
The worst is when I have headphones on and am obviously listening to something. And someone just starts talking to me and asking me something.

Then I have to stop them, take off my headphones, and ask them to repeat themselves.

Seriously. Headphones have been around a long time. This should not be a new science to anyone.
People - including my boss - never seem to notice if I'm on the phone when they walk in.

Take it to the next level. Ask her to film the birth for you. If she goes for that, ask her to film the next conception.
 
I think I must be the only person that actually turns in his invoices to accounts payable. Stepped in to 52 that I had to code, scan and submit. That was like a two day process.
 
My ex can be fake nice most of the time. But there's a reason one of my long time friends refers to her as "The Succubus".

I KNOW YOUR TRUE FORM WOMAN! YOU CAN'T FOOL ME!

I've wore headphones with nothing playing just so I could ignore people.

But I'm also the person, when I was single, who wouldn't answer the door when someone knocked on the front door and saw me. One lady I just stared down while she yelled something. Those who knew me never used the front door.

So you're a back door man. Not sure that has much of a ring to it.

Man that cowherd (Spelling) really has got the posts. At least it is handy for keeping all the hawk trolls in one place. Do they even take time to post on HN?
