You started it. After all, you're more than pretty, yes?



Edit: Preemptively striking and obliterating any "she's 'asking' for 'it'" comments: STFU.

Huh?

BigV 11-09-2006 06:41 PM

>pretty girl parries self destructive remark with vaguely sexual positive comment ~= flirting.
Or, I'm just full of crap.

Nevermind. pput me on ignore. Sorry.

morethanpretty 11-09-2006 06:46 PM

I guess it was sorta sexual, but aphrodesiac doesn't always have to be sexual (does it?). I don't think I'm pretty. BTW screenname actually has to do w/ a quote from one of my fave books...The Perks of Being a Wallflower. Besides who talks about masterbating in response to flirting (which I sorta was doin I guess...but its a part of my job)?
Don't be sorry, I'll not judge you harshly.

Ah. Well I guess I just heard as being something that makes you feel better....I dunno.
Thank you for the clarification.

BigV 11-09-2006 07:10 PM

Also true, but less specifically so.

The one on the left looks uncomfortably like my ex-boss's daughter.

MTP, I always trade quips with the coffee baristas. They're generally at least twenty years younger than me.

(If they wore togas would they be baristae?)

I may have to call the pound on our own client. God this is so stupid. Why are people so stupid? I'm not brilliant........but damn this stuff is so unbelievable sometimes. She's an engineer for god's sakes.....???? I just don't know. WTF?
I am here to prove that if you aren't confused you have no idea what's really going on...

Oh and the truth is so much worse than fiction.......:headshake

This brings me to: why did I draft and sign that non-disclosure statement? sigh......

Someone was actually appreciative of the help offered.

Wonders will never cease.

Out of nowhere? They must be up to something.....
:D

Well-that's how it is at my work...sneaky so and so's.

We're having a perfectly good night at work, see ...

Then, all of a sudden 8 police officers are in my foyer saying they were called for a fight involving 15-20 people on our center hallway. That's every officer on duty for our local department.

As it turns out, there wasn't any fight, but there was a psychotic guy who called 911.

I got to see what "the riot act" actually looks like.

I also got to see that our police department really cares about us.

Once when I was working at Publix, in HS, a lady that never bathed came in.
Most people left, several threw-up, some from several aisles away as soon as the smell hit them. I am not kidding.
It was a long day, a lot of cleaning-up and two cashiers had to leave.

I have worked some strange jobs and had weird stuff happen in many of them... that sticks out the most because it happened so fast and was so "mundane" in a very odd kinda' way. She just smelled bad, but it messed-up the whole store for a half-a-day.

Teaching conversational English in Japan occasionally leaves one trying to make conversation with wierdos who aren't really into learning English, they're just so desperate for someone to talk to because everyone who isn't being paid has already run away ...

There was the chap who could leave for work within two minutes of the alarm going off. What? No breakfast, no toothcare. Dressing? Nope, he sleeps in his work clothes! Full suit and tie. Apparently they have a "special architecture" so they don't get rumpled. Was this why the wife had left him? Or was it his pet snake roaming about the house? I didn't ask.

Or the trend for shirts with English text on them, normally so garbled as to be meaningless. But there was one beginner student whose T-shirt clearly stated "ALL YOU YOUNG C**TS" but who had no idea what it meant. Now, I cannot speak Japanese, and explaining new words usually involves mime or drawing pictures... not this time. "Number one bad word!" seemed to cover it.

I had no idea that normal people would puke when exposed to that.

I deal with it at least couple times a week, so I've not got the same level of sensitivity.

rkzenrage 10-05-2007 01:39 PM

I have been around people who did not/could not bathe as well... this was different. I think she was sick, or had sores or something. It was bad, very bad, from far away. It was like nothing I have ever come across since. I have worked with the homeless, been hospitalized many times, etc.
I can't explain it.

Hey!

Do I detect a note of surprise? I am wounded. As a net consumer of help offered recently, I make it a point to express my appreciation.

If I have been remiss in this honor, I sincerely apologize. I am thankful. Thank you.
