I didn't get the job I interviewed for last week. Apparently they changed the job spec after they interviewed me to more closely suit an internal candidate. So that was nice.


Send them an invoice for consulting services for the day. Maybe they'll get the message and actually pat it.


They actually asked me a question they didn't know the answer to. Weird.

Well, I'm now officially no longer friends with Mrs. McDull. What a sucktastic day.


An acquaintance of mine just lost his wife to cancer. He's got a 4 year old boy now with no mother. Bad days are relative.


Well, sorry that my day didn't suck enough. And sorry that I thought it might be okay to write about here.


Just philosophizing...not trying to denigrate your bad day.....more preaching to myself that my bad days might not be so bad.

It's always hard when any relationship fails, whether friendship or otherwise. Nothing unsucky about that at all. It's apparent you put value on it T, so I'm sorry for the break.


It's okay, Mynok. I went off again, like with John the other day. It's just so unbelievably stupid how this **** happened.

In my experience, stupid crap that causes rifts with friends often resolves itself as long as at least one side remains cordial and friendly.

With me, I invariably have to go look in a mirror and determine what idiotic thing I did to offend the other person and go apologize. Wish I had learned that earlier in life. There are a number of people I'd love to have a chance to say I'm really, really sorry to.

It was horrible today, sitting next to someone who used to be really friendly, and having this sheet of ice between us.

I've known three formally close plutonic female friends of whom a disagreement/POV breach occured. None of the three ever spoke to me again. Nothing would fix it.

You should be very, very careful with the Plutonic females. They are naturally icy.

Ugh. Been there, done that. Just be patient and continue to be friendly. She may get over it in time.

It's tough when you tell a female that their beloved isn't up to snuff...

Years ago my little sister started dating the half owner of a famous nightclub in Athens (Georgia) and I told her that I thought he was a jerk. She got mad at me, but a year later he swore out a warrant for assault on her when she slapped him in an argument. The policeman delivering the warrant went into shock when the woman he was supposed to be arresting turned out to be all of 4'11" and 105lbs... the charges were later dropped and I refrained from saying "I told you so!"

When da bad guys get tall, then kill 'em all, big or small; woof, woof !!

"What do you want from life?" - "To be free."; woof, woof, woof !!!

There's a moral somewhere within the welter of blood in these films. Don't know exactly what it is, but I can feel it, Dave. Rodriguez is saying just exactly what he feels. Great Movies!

Good Thread, I didn't tell her that! I'm not suicidal.

What I did was such a stupid accident, but she won't accept it.

Yesterday, I went into her office at the end of the day to say goodbye. We'd gotten to the stage where I could hug her in a friendly way, and so I leaned in to do that, and when I went to put my cheek against hers I hadn't turned my face enough, and my lips brushed against her face. She thinks I was trying to kiss her, which I was not, believe me.

I knew it advance that she couldn't handle being called "honey" or "sweetie" by anybody but her fiancee, so the idea that I would attempt to kiss her on the cheek or anywhere else... Well, she thinks I did it on purpose.

It's so stupid, and I would give my left leg (including FrankenToe) to have it never had happened...

Do you think she'll file a sexual harrassment complaint? Here in the US....you can get one just from someone of the opposite sex overhearing a conversation not to her taste.
