No high schools in this area offer drivers Ed anymore, you have to take it on your own.

I can't make "lay that hard concrete" jokes about the guy who's right outside!

...he's fine as hell though

...and he's bending over with his butt toward the window. If I were into that sort of thing, I'd be having me some nice fantasies right about now.

But instead I'm me, and all I'm thinking about is how sweaty he is, and maybe I should take him some water?

maybe I should take him some water?

If it were a porno, you'd go out in just a sports bra and Daisy Dukes, with a pitcher of cold water. Or you could just be you and be nice and take him the pitcher of cold water anyway.

Nice to load the plane and THEN tell us we're delayed.

Even sitting on the tarmac, I can still get the airport wifi. Sweet.

My high school had optional driver's ed which, since taking it would reduce my parents' insurance rates for me, I had to take. However, I was the youngest person and the only girl, so the instructor had the boys (who already had their licenses but were taking it to get the reduced insurance rate) drive everywhere. I think I got behind the wheel once and the instructor figured out I had no knowledge of experience and relegated me to the back seat. My mother ended up teaching me - my father tried once and gave up after that. She also tried to teach me to drive a stick shift on her car but that only lasted for one lesson (she kept yelling "my baby!" ... and was not referring to me).

I don't have a car and almost never drive, but I keep a current driver's license. It's good for ID in the area, but once you're away, this tends to happen.

Nice to load the plane and THEN tell us we're delayed.

Did they pull back from the gate? Now it's an "on-time departure"! (In their defense, I have had the experience of the pilot saying we were going to sit for X amount of time and it turned out to be way less, so it was just as well we were loaded in.)

Man, I didn't even dress like that when I was a stripper. I'm strangely modest in my clothing for a person with no body shame whatsoever.

I do however support other peoples' right to dress in tiny clothing if they wanna. Go for it. I will stare in an appreciative yet nonsexual manner.

how do people date?

I have no idea. My sister is apparently dating, maybe I can ask her.

I cannot imagine dating. ALl that meeting new people and keeping conversations going in the hope that one of them will take up more of my time and need to be considered when I make decisions, I don't think that's a net positive for me at this point.

I don't know about learning to drive, either. Driver's Ed in public schools went away around here by the time my sister was in high school and that just boggles my mind. Prop 13 has a lot to answer for.

Man, the middle button on my shirt does not want to stay buttoned. Hello, bra. I think it's only come undone while I was sitting at my desk, not walking around. I certainly hope someone would tell me otherwise.

Wow, that sucks, Todd.

Y'all, I have the theme on my work gmail that shows me the red panda going about his daily routine -like a cartoon firefox, I guess? The image changes periodically more or less depending on the time of day. He does Tai Chi at one point with a couple of frogs or something, and waters his garden, and takes tea. Today it got stuck on the nighttime image for some reason, which I don't think I have seen before because I don't look at work email at night for the most part, and it's SO CUTE! Wee ghostie red pandas play Go while my usual guy sleeps in his little house.
