    Hairdresser. Just now. Mid 50s. Woman. Unknown ethnicity/race -- but at some point (I think probably when I made a joke about grey hairs and what should be done) she saw I could be trusted with her five minutes of non-stop acting out of sketches from Flip Wilson's comedy. Something from his TV show, "on my back, in the corner, and in the dark" and something from a Carson appearance with the punchline "and here's a banana for your monkey."

    They were doing a special at Great Clips (don't laugh -- I like them at my location, and to me one haircut is the same as any other), so she got four bucks on an eight dollar cut. I still came out ahead, because I laughed so hard I had tears in my eyes, and she offered to trim my eyebrows and scoffed when I said, "sure, I didn't know you could do that -- I got a forest going on up there."

    ETA -- here. I don't want to lift the laptop to do the back, but she and I both agreed it looks sharp. Like a fucking nerd -- that's the kind of sugar poppa likes. Business in the back, party up front.

    EETA

    I thought she might have been a cougar and I was thinking about going back for a second haircut, but maybe she thought I wanted brunch.

    That's a pretty good idea I'd like to come back to. It turns out I have 5L of to get through while doing some internet stuff before I get home, and I'll probably only finish 3L, I just might come back to this.

    No, I'm not joking -- that is what I will consume and do -- and then I'll come back home in a few hours and try out your changes on the piano box. On video.

    I've been pleased with myself working on the Bach Sinfonias (C, c minor, and the b minor as pure technical mindless stuff for the arpeggios -- mindless........never mind.......I' smart......never mind) and the little Bourée 1&2 from the A major Engl. Suite and polishing up the Toccata from the e minor Partita, and have a very regimented plan for the past few months -- occasionally I'll just pop a boogie or do whatever, but I need fresh meat.

    And when I think of Trojan Condoms, I think of fresh meat, so you're going up on the chopping block next.

    Don't be afraid. It's natural.

    I'm pretty sure someone got their own sense of retribution for my being-an-asshole-even-though-I-was-right last week. I was going to lend my mother *Middlemarch* after I ungifted her *Daniel Deronda* because I want to read more and again, so I'm pretty sure I either left my old Norton Critical on my bannister and it probably fell off or maybe off the hood of a car or something.

    Well, I found my inability to find my annotated copy pretty damned funny. I can imagine that dumpy old (late-thirties) broad below looking at it at saying to herself "WTF jackass writes numbers and dates in pencil in the back pages and makes his own index and has his phone number and name in pen on the front page? what is he, like six, like a president?"

    Anyway, I thought that was an amusing anecdote, so suck on that, white stains.

    You'll all be pleased to know several years later my knuckle or whatever is still broken. I don't have the photography know-how or desire to make a picture, but I have a deformed right hand.

    Doesn't hurt or anything, showed it to a doctor long ago -- boxer's fracture. Sounds cool, is true, and is a great excuse for me to not play the d minor Invention of Bach at 130bpm like Angela Hewitt (Gould plays it slower, but he has better ornamentation on that one).

    Life happens awesome!

    Yep. Some white kids stepping out of my way because a well-dressed man did some ghetto-ass shit in front of them.

    Yep. Still the high point of my career as the best-read person you'll ever "meet" who bangs the shit out of the piano and organ, while also being a redneck hillbily.

    It's come to my attention that I go completely insane when I drink too much alcohol. This isn't much of an anecdote, but I'll call it a RL anecdote, because the people involved I know IRL, with the exception of my new Bangla poet friend, but I just went apeshit on FB: well, there was a reason, but it amounted to me telling my crew that I'm no longer censoring my language over there, and that they'd better get used to a lot of talk about me fisting their assholes if they have a problem with that.

    Seems no one had a problem with that. So much the better: my little manifesto was served, and now I'm left with some crazy-ass word salad as evidence of my intentions.

    Like I said, completely apeshit.
    ********************************

    OK, I do have a good one from a few days ago -- me, sober as a judge, in my office at home, making some beans on the stove, I noticed some jackasses in some piece of shit BMW convertible, definitely "basic bitches, male version" just parked out front of my place. Couldn't resist firing up the PA, grabbing the mic and fucking with them. You, know, like nonsense words in phonetic alphabet, bravo yankee, strings of numbers.

    I find it odd that I was amused by that.

    Probably not alcohol making me crazy, maybe I'm just plain an asshole who doesn't have much of a social life.

    Well, I think it's funny, so there you go.

    Here's a pretty good one. Not really a point to it, but the kids are OK. I decided to come over to my parents' place over the weekend (vacant house, acoustic piano, escape my n-word-loving hipster neighbors). So, I'm waiting on this traffic light, and it's taking like fucking forever, so finally after a minute I do the differently-abled move of doing the button again, this time gently with my umbrella instead of my usual fist of primary contact.

    Anyway, whatever, so after all this time has passed a couple of cretins -- one male, one female, didn't get a good look, maybe late teens, probably mostly white, up and wait a few seconds with me -- taking the same route, apparently.

    Eh, long story short, they were behind me for about three-quarters of a mile (one and a quarter klicks or whatever), through a relatively desolate suburban landscape. Pretty sure they were plenty amused at the old guy with the raincoat and the tweed sportcoat carrying an umbrella just walking around in his sunglasses. Pretty sure I heard an empty "soda" container being crushed/kicked by them.

    I approve, and kids like that should be encouraged to have nice walks, share some laughs. Do something taboo. Maybe they were sibling fornicators. Underage drinkers. Housebreakers. Don't care, doesn't bother me, pace Abraham Lincoln, unless they get up in my shit.

    Don't see that much these days.

    Maybe everyone under thirty doesn't need to be disposed of.

    ETA on the same walk, always the little scamps somewhere behind me, little mestizo kid walking in the center of two obese Latina women, doing the classic "wave and say 'hi'!" That got a smile from me and a little kid-friendly wave in return. Yeah, it's not an issue with the younger kids -- they're funny you can share a conspiratorial smile with their parents/whatevers. Anyway, cool "story," I know. I do have some others from the past hour, but I can't remember them.

    GOT ONE!!!! HOLY SHIT I GOT A GOOD ONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    All right, so I've calmed down, but believe it or don't jack-ass bass-playing jackass stumbled into the rec room (he somehow elected himself president of the HOA), where I was sitting across from some random bitch who is probably like the treasurer or whatever. Whatever, she knows my name, she's just a blonde blob as far as I can see.

    So this rube walks in and says to this bitch, "Do you think that our manager has been putting in the number of hours that we need our manager to be?" White bitch is like, "well, but do you want to talk in public, like this."

    I'm convinced -- I was sure before, but now I'm convinced -- the world is just a big place and we need to laugh at all of it.

    Yeah, well, it's well-known that if you want to hear good dialogue, you ride the fucking bus.

    I like this one, though, from today: "Howdy folks. I'll get to you down the road. Yes,indeed."

    That is one hard-worker who just had a little bump for the road.

    I think I have made a huge mistake, by not --

    NO!

    I can't have, because we all wear gloves to pick freight, therefore I wouldn't have seen her ring finger.

    Seems like the managers keep putting us on the same few rows neighboring today, but I noticed her from the start.

    That's not saying much -- I sort of .... well ... I don't know how to describe it. I just notice, is all, always. And no, not like a cartoon wolf with his tongue hanging out, just intuitive observation, extremely mellow. Just new information for me, same as trees and words and stuff.

    You know, I do want to molest her, but the most important thing is this new concept, I'm sort of interested in what her deal is? Just kind of unusual...style, I guess. Not really, kind of regular grown-up version of rocker chick, she probably been gang-raped by bikers for all I know, just quiet, self-contained, EXTREMELY mellow, and also good at her job -- sort of same style of working as I do. Just, thinking ahead, stack 'em up, ride 'em out, Achilles and the tortoise thing.

    That is FUNNY to me.

    I've never had that sense of curiosity about a woman before -- usually, just kind of happens or whatever.

    Well, I guess as a kid? No, I didn't know anything about women then -- I thought they were magic creatures who were bewitching me in good ways. I didn't know what women really were like -- namely, just more appealing versions of human.

    Strange. I think is like what people call having a "crush" on someone? Weird.

    Weird.

    Seems...womanly, as an emotion.

    Well, whatever.

    ////////////

    ETA I gotta contain this shit! This cannot happen, me crossing paths with this woman I don't know how many times a day. It's going to distract me, or maybe make me nervous or some shit.

    That cannot be something that can happen!

    I cannot be uncool!

    This cannot be!

    OTOH, yeah, I mean, but outside of work, sure, I'd talk to her. But that's is a fucking LIE to be all like "Hi, what's your name, mine's Jizz!"

    That is disgusting to me, because of the hidden intentions.

    Well, we exchanged a few words, just light-hearted banter (me-->her "Word to the wise, don't ever hit that blue button" (after 30 min. ago I bumped my cart against the conveyer belt exchange relay. She chuckled and probably saw I wasn't some psycho).

    Yeah, well, que sera sera, it's all right with me.

    Yeah, me touching her in yo face!

    HOWEVER, she would not be putting her hair up in a fetching fashion or having that exotic allure unless she were single and on the prowl.

    I know women! This eez a woman! Who has to make zee choices for hers to master of body!

    Also, if she had a ring on with any kind of jewel under a work glove, she'd be retarded.

    Also, she'd be more butch and surly.

    THEREFORE I win! I will buy theez woman, but I will first ask her to have papers for her men to sign!

    Well, hell, she is pretty cute, and about the right age for me (not post-menopausal, but also not a kid), but, meh.

    I will buy theez woman!

    Or, probably just forget about her and find one exactly the same at some rock and roll bar.

    Oh. I can't forget about her, because of five-days per week and ...

    Yeah.

    I don't know.

    Rub one out before clocking in in the men's room, and then repeat until injuries.

    Well, there's other good women on the floor. I like the redhead about my age -- probably not single, but she's still nice to me, and vice versa.

    I kind of would like to hate-fuck one of the most managers. She has a whole mid-40s, wart-on-the-nose kind of vibe, but probably can fuck the hell out of any twisted room.

    Who else? No, I'm tired thinking about it.

    WTF? I am kind of pissed off at my mom's style of communication. It's been over two weeks my pops has been in ICU, fluttering between life and death, having major surgeries, and today a blood transfusion.

    So earlier today I chatted with my mother after I get off work, and like, IRL on the phone: "Please, slow down."

    Just got an expected text from her just now.

    Jesus X.

    If you want to dump information on me like I'm your fucking task, use a fucking e-mail or fax machine.

    If you want to talk, just pick up the fucking phone.

    What are you, a fucking robot? I'm not your employee, and certainly not your high-school classmates looking for an entry in his or her yearbook.

    Meh.

    Just don't bother me if you don't have an idea.\

    Mothers.

    What are you going to do.

    never mind.

    Here's some more from the j-o-b.

    I like the blondie -- probably about my age. There's a little sexual tension between us -- you know, a vibe. Mainly, I just like her, and she and I get along fine on the floor.

    Here's the strange one. No. fucking. Way. Maybe early thirties, but has a damned face fucking tattoo -- what the hell is that? So zero sex thirty nothing, at least for me, but she's actually pretty cool. She's kind of incompetent, but endearing in that she trusted me enough to ask her to give her a hand a few times a day (no, you pervert, just to help her out, which I enjoy doing in general). So that's cool.

    What else.

    Nah, nothing else I want to talk about.

    I am super irritated with these older white cats who seem to be convinced they're going to get a fucking merit badge by shucking their corn. Doesn't inspire anyone else, unless you're some kind of competitive beta-male jackoff, makes everyone else look bad.

    What the hell is wrong with just doing your job, same as everyone else? Hint: they're not going to give you a prize except maybe a dink prize for being an ass nobody likes.

    Just fucking do the job, do it right, do it efficiently.

    White people are so edgy. Stupid crackers.

    Oh yeah, note to anybody: if you feel like cursing under your breath (I don't think I'm certifiably crazy, but I talk a lot to myself, just keeps me going), just do it in a different language than English.

    French is great for that -- none of the curse words really make sense strung together like people do, they're just a random string of vulgarities.

    Plus, at least in French, I don't think anybody's going to understand you (it's a challenge to avoid "putain," "putasse," which people probably do understand) -- but there's no native speaker of French from the overseas departments or the continent who would ever complain to a boss.

    That's not how they roll, squealing like a pig to a cop.

    Oh. Well. OK, well the collabos were are punished. Never mind.

    Well that was fucked.

    I think I officially cursed more to myself in French (out loud) than ever before at work. Don't know why, just something about picking and a grinning just makes you want to say to yourself "get that fucking bag in there, you cocksucking son of whore bitch, I'll fuck your face you bitch bag."

    Probably frowned upon in English.

    BUT, found out that my instincts were right and one of the two local cab companies is the cheapest to get gas near my work.

    And that this tavern is....WAY different then I remembered. It actually is a pretty scummy dive, with two tiny (regular bar-sized pool tables in shit repair -- fucked up cloth).

    And are you shitting me? I'm not paying five bucks plus one dollar tip for a fancy microbrew.

    Well, I did of course, two of them in fact.

    That's ridiculous -- that's like a fancy beer price.

    Idiots.

    But at least the clientele at 10 in the morning is loud and somewhat affable. Possible homeless, in some cases.

    Oh yeah, multiple days of doing my thing of just cussing vulgarities under my breath in French.

    I think it works!

    Nobody knows what the hell I'm saying, including myself!

    Here's another one. I visited impromptu my pops in the hospital after work, just to say "Hi."

    You know, it's kind of ... I don't have the word, but while I was observing a few responses to his physical therapist (nurse?) I don't know what the title is. (No longer ICU, just a regular room).

    Yeah.

    Seeing a small tear come out of the corner of your father's eye while he's giving the correct information about his pain levels, and his status to his caregiver.

    Yeah, that's something.

    I actually got the hanky out of my jeans' pocket, just in preparation if he had some more or wanted some care.

    i think he liked me giving him a gentle pat on his arm or shoulder during the long series of questions -- got to be careful to not hit the fluid lines, but I like to think he liked that.

    Yeah, that's an experience.

    Highly recommended.

    Oh, and picking heavy freight, then hauling 500-600 lb carts with meticulous precision and efficiency.

    Do that for three hours without a break.

    That's how you get strong, I guess, at least physically.

    Who knows.

    Goddam who knows?


    I hate to say it, but I love to say it, that nice little brunette. Yeah, she saw me hauling carts like a boss, shirt soaked through with sweat (mine, not her's! I'm a gentleman! I never look!).


    Couple of times she deliberately looked me in the eye, just in passing.

    I think I know the dude she was out car-walking with -- I'm guessing, he's just some old fart with a wife and stuff back home, or else he's just some old divorced dude who she's "goin with."

    Either way, hell, what do I care?

    Nothing to do with me.


    I still like her, but it's obvious she likes me enough to respect me as a person to give an eye-contact.

    That's fine.

    Alls it means it me is that the half-dozen times I see her throwing freight and picking freight, we're on the same page: vide licet, just getting on.

    Me and the cutie got to work side by side!

    Obviously, I do it right, and none of that mincing "oh, excuuuse me, my lady," just polite, we did our thing.

    THEN I got done picking my route, and I get assigned to help WN6 back near the row I was just at.

    So I ask her, "Are you WN6? I was just told to help you with overflow. You want to scan and I'll stack on the cart?"

    That is fucking good, because not only are my huge hands an asset, I'm quick as shit through a duck's ass, so we just groove on that working through boxes.

    That's the only physical labor I'm good at, just being strong and working smooth with other people.

    hhhhhcehjwhewhwchewc.....never mind......

    Well, so that was good.

    What is that a foundation for the fucking future?

    Nah, bullshit.

    At least she knows I'm not a scumbag slacker, and I know she has cute eyes.

    Nah.

    It's nothing, but, it's still good to know good people.

    HEY!!!!

    She might be extrovert OR she could be like me and introvert who just rolls with it and gets along with people.

    I CAN USE THIS TO ...no, I really can't. But....no, there's no value to that observation...But....no, I don't see any value in observing that, except people and stuff.

    However, it's ... probably....no. Doesn't matter, she's cute, and she's an introvert and I like being around her and I want to murder any man I see around her being friendly.

    Yay! I'm a psycho!

    But I love me in the morning in front of the mirror each day!

    I wasn't aware too many others did the Jame Gumb dance in front of the mirror, but it makes sense.

    Certainly everyone should, for it would amuse me, so long as I didn't have to see it.

    LOL. Thank you!

    Still laughing.....

    Shit.

    Well I do have new RL observation. Goddamned, that woman is one tasty bitch.

    Well, I guess that is not that great an observation.

    STILL. It is...an...anecdont?

    ETA oh, but this makes it an...well, no, but still. WHY? why do I happen to find brunettes quite a bit shorter than me attractive? And this is one strong picker -- I could probably beat her up if I wanted to (which I don't, FTR, and couldn't imagine why I would, unless she superglued my dick to my gut or something ridculous). Hell, she could probably do more pushups than me.

    That is weird.

    Apparently I have a "type" -- I don't think so, but maybe so.

    Geometry. That is all.

    Excellent

    Now it will be perfectly reasonable for a pedestrian to unload a shotgun of deer slugs into an errant self-driving vehicle, in order to protect his or her life.

    Oh.

    Some pantywaists probably be all like "mewl pule think of the children!"

    No. Not really. The errant humans don't deserve to die, I don't suggest; however errant vehicles should be terminated.

    With extreme prejudice.

    Oh, here's kind of a neat RL anecdote -- today (UTC -7) at about 0410, I was getting on the road to work, and I actually saw a lone coyote in my tiny street.

    I've seen them around here plenty, but usually kind of scrawny and in loose groups.

    Yeah, I know they eat human midgets and little Fifi dogs, so shame on them, but I think they're neat animals, and this was a particularly nice specimen.

    I don't know, I just kind of like them, and AFAIC they have more right to be here than many other untrained "companion" animals.

    Anyway, they don't bother me, and I enjoy their vocalizations as well as their kind of sweet monogamous ways.

    Well, I suppose that s a "funny RL observation," for some value of "funny."

    I just thought it was neat -- usually coyotes look kind of scrawny and ragged, but this was a handsome specimen. Don't know what he was doing in the street, maybe scrounging through the dumpster, or just migrating to look for something else to eat.

    You would NOT believe what a couple of jackass van drivers are capable of.

    SO, the gist is that we write in dry-erase markers our route numbers, number of carts, staging area.

    Apparently some cunt van driver gave me static for writing my "0" as a circle with a slash through it.

    You know, like an actual person. Mind you, that was NOT the Bourbaki symbol for the null set.

    How in the hell HELL could you mistake that for the numeral 1?

    What were these people, born in a bar?

    Carts in the right area, all the zeros looked identical, it was complete.

    Jesus fucking christ. YEAH DUMBSHIT, THAT'S a motherfucking zero. Use your fucking brain for once. Even after I explained "Well, I put a slash through it so it can't be confused for the letter 'o'" -- bitch be like "Why would that be an 'o'?" It's a fucking zero, goddamned it. Same reason I put a vertical line through the numeral 7, and write a "1" like a goddamned person.

    Idiot assholes.

    And if I explain it to your dumb fucking ass, don't fucking argue with me.

    Idiots.

    Here's a good one.

    I was just cleaning off the pool table of my habitual "practice" routine of 14.1 aka "straight pool" -- mostly fail, but the most important is getting the right touch back.

    So I hang "my" cue and I had to squint but it was two broads from work whom I'd just seen not an hour ago.

    We ended up just sitting at a booth -- they had some food and whatever, I just sipped on my beer (and, GASP, even went back for a refill!)

    That was fun -- not romantic interest "girls" -- I mean, they were both single, but they each had teenage children.

    Just fun to talk to.

    Natch, we spent so long gabbing that I ended up with a $44 USD parking ticket. Grrr. Grrr.

    Oh well, it can happen. They do eat their young, though, the parking nazis.

    Just in case there was any doubt.

    But, so now I know by name two cool people with lots of seniority, and kind of got some inside gossip and the rest of that warehouse shit.

    And no, these weren't tough, tattooed broads, just regular good people.

    AND they volunteered to be my "wingwomen" for when I get a chance to ask out my little shorty brunette!

    Is good to know people!

    When I sit on my balcony to drink coffee/beer/whatever these lorikeets walk along the rail and beg me for food. When I fetch some they eat it out of my hand. Some even jump onto my hand, or lap to eat the resulting crumbs. I have little mock arguments with a sassy one with a spot on its beak. I push my finger towards its belly, it slaps it away with its claw. We have shrieking matches almost every day but it always returns. I've got a reputation in the neighbourhood as the guy with the birds because there are often over 100 birds of various types walking around my yard, or on me, or on the rail.

    Moral of the story: birds generally make better friends than humans.

    Goddammned right.


    Birds don't give you a bunch of shit.

    Well....

    Some of they is bastards though.

    Amazon Prime Associate.

    I am currently a Seasonal Part-time Associate at DPD-1

    Since the only available interview for this new position is at Apr-18-2018 at 09h00, you will need to contact Denise Alexander at DPD-01.

    Since she didn't allow me to hold my father's hand while he was dying in the ICU, maybe she'll get the picture now that I've been requested by Amazon.

    At least I hope a more professional manager will take care of the scheduling issue.
    Yeah, well, you didn't hear what I wanted to say.......mmm.......hhhhh.....well, at least I didn't say it!

    So, I will be attending the new hire interview at April-18-2018 09h00

    After consulting with Amazon Hub's live consultant, I will be attending.

    So, I will not be accrued further punitive points for following Amazon's directions.

    That is the correct solution, and there is not to be any further argument from you.

    Yours truly.

    New plan: next time I go into work, day after tomorrow, I'll just say: "Our company required that I go in for orientation this Wednesday. Yep, tried to reschedule multiple times. You'll just have to figure it out with your superiors -- I can't get involved with your little fights. Take it up with Amazon -- this isn't my fight."

    ETA and, no the answer if some bitch or soyboy gives me static is: "Are you important?" Yeah, I didn't think so. So just do your fucking job. Homo."

    I'm 90% sure I'm going to get fired for this -- but...at least I'm right!

    Thanks!

    I CC'ed HR at my current Amazon location.

    Obviously, I will not be accrued any "points" for following Amazon
    instructions, but it I am, it will be filed along with the other
    errrors Amazon HR made.

    Let's hope you don't make any further severe errors, and there will be
    no further errors on your end. You're a good company, let's just now
    see any more mistakes from you.

    Yours truly,

    Thanks, Reegan,

    I appreciate the response, and although it is clear Amazon's policies, I am glad to be informed in a timely fashion in what manner the policies of my company are implemented.

    Than you again for your timely and informative response.

    New plan: if some RL cunt gives me static.

    "You'll just have to take it up with Amazon. One of your superiors. Somebody with, maybe, more than an MBA."

    Then just blank, hollow-eyed stare directly into their eyes.

    There is no excuse for people like that to be (i) manually overriding the shortest-path + scheduling algorithms (ii) talking to humans.

    They belong in an office, not eating tater tots behind a desk where people are sweating their lives away.

    This is to confirm that, according to Amazon's instructions, I will be
    reporting to Amazon on 18-APR-2018 at 0900.

    There will be no punitive points added to my "record."

    Ms. Denise Alexander will ensure that any defective points will be
    corrected, as Amazon has instructed her.

    This is my final communication on the subject, and I trust Amazon's
    employees will handle the matter correctly.

    Yours sincerely,

    John blahblah
    Shit, I guess I'm kind of a bitch. Well. At least I'm not angry -- I just give them enough rope to hang themselves. Faggot assholes. ETA OK, fine, heterosexuality-impaired. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    If my language is indeed offensive to anyone here, I will tone it down. It's not really meant to be hurtful, but if it is, I'll fix it, no problems.

    EETA And, yes, the devil girl from Exorcist was named "Regan" -- just whatever raghead Amazon "assigned" to me was called "Reegan," so close enough. That offensive enough? This is the board that won't allow Froody Blue Gem to post after NUMEROUS supplications, so, obviously, there's no modes or the owner is sucking shit out of a yak's ass in a goddamned Tibetan paradise. But, yes, from respect for the few actual people here, if my language is offensive, I'll knock it off. What can I say? Working in a goddamned warehouse with some Nazi screeching bitch van delivery drivers....really puts some good language in you.

    Oh, my little shortie brunette is driving me to distractiion.

    Have mercy. Have mercy!

    Thing is, we work good together when we cross paths -- she'll be rolling her cart, I'll just give her the signal "come on through." You know, like good workers do...ahem...that is, not everybody, but it should be, and it sure as shit is me with everybody.

    Although. Her facial complexion has some flaws.

    Should I kill her and stuff her corpse in my trunk....

    No probably not. Definitely not. Wapner in 10 minutes. Definitely be late for Wapner.

    Anyway, that's a lot of effort.

    It's getting difficult to be patient and just wait for a cool, natural time to ask her out.

    Having a couple of "wing-girls" on my side from work makes it easier, but, still, I'm not a child who's too shy to ask her out.

    Bah.

    My BO smells like roses after a few hours of sweating...maybe she doesn't smell good.

    Or, horror! Maybe her dental hygiene isn't so good.

    Hmmm.....Hmmmm...Grrrrr.

    Well, I guess I figured out why people go on stupid square-ass "dates" -- gotta find it out!

    OK here's a real one.

    Not very interesting, but....let that be a lesson to you, don't be like me!

    So I bag up a giant Hefty-size bag full of beer cans, as well as the same full of a lot of empty cardboard wine boxes.

    On the way to the grocery store for...more wine, duh!...I dutifully stop at the recycling place for my complex and unload all that in the appropriate receptacles.

    OK, I didn't flatten ALL the wine boxes, but still, there was plenty of room in the bin.

    So on my way back I have the bright idea to pull the car up to the dumpster across from me and clean all the crap out of my car (receipts, just junk like that).

    I open up the trunk and try to decide what I can toss away from there -- forgot about that old car battery I was thinking (wrongly!) I might get a refund for. Trash.

    Wet corroded 9mm rounds.

    Trash.

    Somehow, I think those should have been recycled as well.

    Meh, I guess it balances out, sort of.

    Lead's good for you. Everyone likes acid.

    Oh well.

    ETA OTOH, while there is a hazardous materials recycling center, it's quite a little drive, so the inherent menace of automobile traffic, in multiple fashions, including pollution from manufacturing the automobile and that caused by its performance, is arguably more significant than a single private user's errant waste.

    Well, inarguably, I would argue.

    And the lesson there, is always smoke when you drive, because if you're doing something evil, you can always do something much less noxious with no harm. Just like when you murder your pregnant girlfriend, you stab her uterus! Duh! People! Common sense!

    EETA NEW OBSERVATION

    I sweat a LOT constantly, for five days a week. I also drink a fair amount -- not full-DT alcoholic quite, but a fair bit.

    While scrubbing down the body this AM I noticed I have no appreciable body odor.

    And my clothes, previously soaked in sweat, also have no real odor.

    I tentatively hypothesize that the alcohol exuded from the pores during a normal sweating session does something to the bacteria that normally cause the familiar BO.

    And no, I am very accustomed to the smell, and until my Richard Simmons "Sweatin'" regimen, I was certainly not immune to it, and indeed required the usual prophylactics and remedies, such as bathing, etc.

    No, I must be right. I don't have much of a sense of smell, but I certainly can smell when I have need of hygienic, therapeutic baths. Therefore, I'm correct.

    NEW OBSERVATION BUT FAMILIAR

    Hint: if you drink more than a couple of bottles of wine the day before sweating INTENSELY, your sweat WILL smell of a real fruity, wine aroma.

    Even I noticed, and normally I only notice the smell of whiskey coming out of the pores.

    I think the only thing that saves my ass is there's no possible way some drunk could be the fastest picker (that is, one who DOESN'T violate policy and drag multiple bags on the ground to save time), with 100% accuracy, and no collisions.

    The worst I do is imitate a WWII German or French person when the delivery-drivers come through and their boss starts yelling like a HS phys ed coach, in their respective languages.

    Apparently that doesn't offend anyone, because I've been doing that for well over a month.

    Amusing snippet of one-sided dialog. I'm sure you can guess who said it out his window.

    "Hey! Shut up."

    ...continues...

    "You garbage piece of trash, shut up."

    ...continues...


    "You white fuckng ni-----, go back to your trailer park."

    ....

    "I'm going to fuck you in the ass."

    //////

    I prefer to think these were dog people from the renters' apt complex next door.

    I'm very proud of myself I didn't use the SM57 + PA speaker -- I was just fell asleep in my chair when some errant voices appeared out my window.

    I'm going to be an excellent "stay off my lawn" old....oh...well...I'm still good at it!

    Ah, I got about twenty minutes sitting across the conveyer belt just chit-chatting with everybody in my vicinity, passing the time.

    She did not raise my penis to its correct capacity.

    I conclude:

    (i) she is shy

    (ii) she does not think my stupid jokes imitating foreign accents are funny ETA And yes, they are goddamned funny -- speaking French and German sort of helps.

    (iii) she thinks I am jew

    (iv) she is has head injury

    (v) she secretly yearns for my demonstrated social ability and for me to pick her up and put her down

    (vi) she wants to have her head cut off and be stuffed in the trunk of my car

    Yep.

    Women are quite the mystery, I tell you.

    ETA You know what I think? I think WareGirl is scared or intimidated by me. I can see why, but she's seen me pretty damned near every day just chilling with other warehouse nerds.

    Maybe I should rape her.

    Nah, somehow that doesn't seem right.

    Just one of those things, seems like and is a bad idea.

    I don't think I could even get it up for that. No, I couldn't get hard to rape some woman, that's repulsive to me. I like a little fun struggle, between friends, but that's not the same thing.

    I think she just has no clue what I'm about, and may not have much stuff except street-smarts. She fakes it good, though. Pretty sure she doesn't know regular languages. Fine with me.

    I just want that muff, baby, make her feel OK after both our strenuous shifts.

    Hell, forget the hair pie, I had enough to last me a long time, she could be a good woman to me.

    No.

    I've just not decided if Waregirl is fragile in some way ( certainly not physically -- for a petite gal with a small frame, she needs no help, unlike some of the equally-petite [but stockier] women who frequently ask for help with these 100+ lb bags stacked up -- which, BTW, I'm not sure if they believe me, but I enjoy lifting heavy things and helping people), but maybe in some way.

    Or, maybe she's just shy.

    Or, just doesn't want to get involved.

    Obviously, if she were single, I would be the only correct person -- at the least she could raid my library of books and music (and my dick).

    Unless she has some daddy fetish and only likes mid-40s-->mid-50s men who are trying to convert her to some weird cult.

    No.

    I am the best man in the joint -- hardest worker, no-nerd, full-chub, look-at-her-ass-and-tits, non-balding, tall, only modest gut, and also chill and modest.

    So she's probably lesbian.

    But we can change that.

    Oh, I forgot to add this one:

    In compliance with company policy, Natasha, who has long stringy European black hair was wearing a ballcap walking down the conveyer belt.

    JUST at the moment I was doing my HILARIOUS Rocky & Bullwinkle impressions.

    Well, either she didn't hear or she'd heard it a million times.

    Anyway, I was just riffing off "Must catch moose and sqvirrel!!!"

    Keep in mind, I wasn't alive when those were on the air, so given how all children younger than me have serious head trauma and various cultural deficiencies, I think there's maybe one person in the warehouse out of a crew of (75? 100?) who would have understood my reference.

    And, that may be why .... whatserface, WareGirl, probably thinks I'm some kind of eccentric oddball.

    Obviously, she's wrong, because I'm hilarious.

    ////////////

    ETA Oh, and that's what some analysts of phenomena call an "exploded" intentionality -- like perceiving a town and coming to find out it was constructed of plywood simulacra.

    Well, all that matters is finding the realist-appropriate mode of perception.

    And now, yes, I am speaking of WareGirl. I sort of doubt she is some kind of intellectual slumming it, nor even really a rocker chick. And I'm pretty sure she's not interested in joking around amidst performing hard labor.

    Hmmm.

    Oh well.

    I'd still do her, but, given that I have no clue about her inner thoughts, I'd have to be extremely cautious about getting involved emotionally. She might put a bunny rabbit in a pot on my stove, for all I know.

    At least I know she knows (or should) that I'm just about working hard and being friendly with everyone (except the delivery van drivers -- still friendly, just....assertive when they're in my way....works out OK).

    Oh. Well, just like that baseball applied-binomial theorem question, now it's easy.

    I can just say "Hi!" or "Good morning!" like I do with other people whom I vaguely know.

    The hump is over!

    Now I can say "Hi!" and it's not a random "llllllllllladies!!!"

    Problem solved.

    And I sometimes give a commiserative smile or shrug to my comrades, so she can have some of that too.

    And my dick.

    ETA And I'm pretty goddamned sure Gail and Ginger, since I told them I liked "liked" her, it's all over the warehouse. One dude when we were bagging aisles saw I was next to her and he was assigned to that aisle and actually said, "sorry, dude."

    I think it must be obvious to everyone that she and I are sort of "same type" of person, being roughly age-congruent (what is she, thirty, maybe? mid->late twenties? i don't really know, just not a kid, exactly), and sort of very introverted and yet efficient.

    I think the warehouse needs a win!

    A win for .... random consensual sexual partnerships! Yay!
