The weirdest comment I have ever gotten (and I have received this multiple times from different men) is that "I look like I would be a good provider". And I tend to relate it to being fat, white and wearing business appropriate clothes, which is rather rare on the public transportation system I am using. Or I am just being too sensitive.
I also tried to bond with the guys, because in my sheltered life before public transportation, the worst that happened to me was random calls from cars telling me I was fat (thanks for the update! I hadn;t noticed!)
Yo, Is This Racist? posted my question!
I've been listening to Beastie Boys in my car the last few days, inspired by you.
They freak a funky beat like the shit was in a blender.
(nudges Sophia about the typo. My first job involved keeping the 'l' in public, and I can't help myself.)
People suck. Buffistas do not. That is what I'm taking from this discussion. Also, Allyson is wise.
By the way, you just proved you are plenty polished. You have major social skills. To quote a phrase you once used to describe someone this did not apply to, you were not "raised in a crate like veal".
You were asked for an opinion, and you answered honestly. It happened to be different from the opinion of the person who asked the question. That does not make you unpolished. You just are not slimy. You don't tell people whatever they want to hear, regardless of whether or not it is true.
That is a plus, not a minus. I think you have a good chance at the job, and if they don't want you, it is their loss not any flaw in you.
Aargh! I have issues with L, O & P due to an unfortunate wine spillage issue!
Allyson, that's a great way of putting it.
OMG I love y'all. Y'all are awesome.
Yep.
In less than 48 hours, I will be in the air. Gulp.
Had a nice visit with Maria that actually helped me key down a notch or two. Of course, I'll be back to those levels of whacko plus 10 by this time tomorrow.
hope you have a great trip, sara!

I picture this to be the latest Law & Order spinoff, called
Law, Order and Penguins.
This just goes to show that you can't trust the penguins around wine. Sure, they look all sophisticated, but they have flippers! How are they supposed to hold the glasses?
