Dreams involving the girl of your fancy in the shower, in which you are still fucking being teased.


Fuck you subconscious.

On the other hand, dream involving same girl having a pet goat, and dream involving the ability to urinate spaghetti? Subconscious, we are still cool. We are still cool.

A few words to my coworkers:

A. Don't attempt to flush pantyhose. Seriously. There are trash cans.

B. Just because the supervisor isn't here doesn't give you the right to play your music on the speakers of your computer instead of your headphones.

C. You don't have to say hi, nod, smile, or any other cursory gesture every time I pass you in the hallway. Seriously. You're just making this whole forced interaction thing more awkward.

People should nod. Trying to pretend there's nobody there and looking STRAIGHT forward feels more awkward than recognizing their presense.

Or at least give them a smile. Added bonus for smiling at someone who does not like you.

I'm just not that social. I have to walk up the hallway and back to get to the bathroom (and it's a long fucking hallway) and well, I do this several times a day. It's fine to say hi to me the first time I see you, but every subsequent time? Just overkill man.

Then bonus points to a teacher I had a year back. Even more bonus points because I don't think she liked me either.

I make a point of being weird to people. Hell, I used to by pretty shy until about 3 years ago. You don't know how what fun is until you walk up to a random stranger, talk to them like you've known them for years, then part ways mid-sentence to find someone else to screw with.

Go up to someone, keep a straight face and ask, "Do you seriously walk like that?"

Sit back and Lol and them trying to figure out why the way they walk is fucked.

I had a roommate who would do that at home. Every time he walked by. Dude - you JUST said hello five minutes ago. I haven't moved.

I wink...

At everyone...

It's just ambiguous enough that I can get away with it and still confuse the crap out of people.

The key is doing it to EVERYONE. No sexual harrassment if I'm gender-ambiguous.

I'm really beginning to hate whoever it was that logged all of these addresses with "AV" insteead of "AVE" because I have to go in and fix it every fucking time I see it. Seriously, was it hurting to type that extra E? And "AV" is not the accepted abbreviation for the word avenue. It never has been. Stop trying to be cute and do your job properly so I don't have to spend more time doing mine.

This also goes for "S Something St" vs. "Something St S" (and as these things are supposed to match 100% correctly, I don't know who the hell is putting them in the system wrong in the first place) and either total omission of the 4-digit zip code extension or it being completely wrong.

It probably wouldn't bug me so much if the interface wasn't a huge cockblock to editing errors in the first place, but then again, I've never worked anywhere that had a system with an interface worth bragging about.

This just in.


Manly women hitting on me.

Now, I don't mean women who have a body like a guy's, I'm talking about women who you'd think have spend most of their life at sea as pirates or something. Women that if you chatted with online you'd never ever believe them if they told you they aren't guys.

Why can't I get cute pretty girls hitting on me? Ah no, it has to be the manly girls who express themselves and behave like they have more testosterone than a bodybuilding (male) champion.

Why? Why?! WHY?!
