It's not my personal cup of tea. My mother always told me not to shit where I ate. So I've never really even dated a co-worker. I've also typically worked for small companies which I feel like increases the awkwardness.

It's the 2nd thing. He's told me about taking his wife there. Apparently they went once while she was pregnant with the last child and she almost bit the server, according to him. I take that with a giant grain of salt, but these are the kinds of things he says about his wife to people who have never met her.

Environmental consulting and emergency response. Several of these people got fired for it around the time I left. A lot of stuff happened on the emergency responses both in the work trailers on night shift and in the motels. It was a weird place that was started by science dudes who were awesome at the technical…

No, I think that's totally common. I know I do it, too. But I think if I was asking someone out on a first date I would just wait until payday to ask them.

Wow. I am not sure if it's more appalling that someone would do that or that they would feel totally comfortable telling you that they set that up.

Is that how flirting works now? Good Lord.

Subliminal messaging. Maybe if he said the word "bone" enough she'd get a sudden desire to actually do it.

Also, all my friends with kids talk about waking up in the middle of the night to find their children staring at them like tiny little stalkers.

All small children are frightening. I learned that from Children of the Corn and from working in a children's library.

I think it just struck me because it was so specific. Not just an invitation to dinner, but a specific dinner at a specific restaurant.

I didn't even realize there still were Western Sizzlins.

The last place I worked everyone seemed to be having an affair with everyone else so I guess the only place they could hook up was in the actual office during working hours. You had to be careful what closets you opened and what stairwells you went into because there was likely to be a live sex show happening, but…

One of my co-workers recently asked one of my super cute co-workers out to eat a T-bone at the Western Sizzlin and then followed it up by saying they'd have to wait until payday though, because he didn't have any money until then. This would have been okay if the reason he didn't have money was because he has a wife…

What happens to your skin if you change breast sizes like this? (Possibly I am not totally understanding this because I'm imagining like, adding and subtracting based on mood...do they only go up? Can you remove from them as well?)

Claudia was the best. I wanted to be a Claudia, but really I've always been a Mary Ann.

I am constantly having my choice not to read these books reaffirmed. Thanks.

There is a special way his pants hang off his hips?

I am concerned that there is someone who wants him to be real. I certainly understand having a very visceral crush on a fictional character. My first several crushes in life were not real people. But...Christian Gray seems like he would be a horrible person in real life.

Yes. This.

That picture looks more like she's rubbing her ass against his thighs.
