I blame keyless entry on all modern cars.
Although, now, when I take the time to go open the door, Betty actually appreciates it.

Although, the look after I show them the basement and all the boxes is priceless.

The women I've dated typically all liked topics about travel. So, that's always a good default topic.

My favorite is how many previous partners and any active std's...
That usual sets the tone for how my dates are going to go.

I never "try and see what I can get" either...I always let the girl set the speed on how comfortable she is for a kiss erabewbgrab. Staring at your lips while you talk is a dead giveaway.

And hair-twirling as well as how she is seated. If completely facing you...well, now, Justin can probably reach past 1st base.

No friggin way. Keep it just the 2 of you for a while, you're a different animal around your friends and that may or may not be charming without her feeling a bond with you that you can only develop over time.

Also, depends...what are your goals? Long term? Sinking her battleship and then starting a different war?

And since you refuse to go to my build thread...
do you even flush with almost perfect camber, bro?

I'm on the fence for that. I usually keep friends out of it for at least a month or three.

Without -ing at lunch hour, I would probably kill people here. I need the stress outlet.

I need my fix for sure.. Otherwise I start inviting everyone to meet me in the parking lot.

Kicking the bag and throwing people is my snickers bar.

Ah, no such luxury here. Just weights...




Still, I would love to huck a few weights at the nimrods on this project. Guess what? In today's data call, the interface lead shat his pants because all of his scripts are ruined. All 42 programs being built in the ERP have been revised and in many cases, re-designed.

The PMO letting this sort of insanity continue is beyond me.

I can't wait for people to go into the system and start changing data during a data conversion batch job.

Fact: I have never gotten along with a single PM in my dozen years in IT.


In my last job, I had built up enough reputation/goodwill that any of my projects were run solely by me as acting PM as well. Here, not so much. Hence why I know I'll be jumping ship in a year or two...just as this failboat product goes live.

Seriously, I must ask again: Even a person with the IQ of a fire hydrant knows you cannot convert data prior to design complete.

Are they nuts?!?? The target fields are constantly changing! How do you convert data?!?!??

Anyhow, ranting starting again. Clearly, it is time to go home. I've had enough.

The sad thing is.. companies hire these PM's with little to no real experience, they've never had their boots in the mud, so how can dictate the direction of the ship? It would be more beneficial if the company paid to have their group experts and leaders obtain their PMP and let them keep the reigns.

Might not seem like a big deal to you guys.. but I've seen one bite the heel off a diver (they were able to save his foot but it's dead weight) and saw pics of an attack on a free diver after he speared it (bite crushed his elbow). I've pet a wild one after feeding it, but this is straight cray. On a related note, you're all welcome to stroke my moray eel.

Well that entertained me while I got my car inspected.

All good advice but they forgot if she allows ass to mouth right away then just enjoy it for a few months but don't get attached.


Good luck bud

That or...I find many PMs like to gloss over the true problems. When reporting to the steering committee, the status is all green.


This project is beyond red. Ghey pink is more like it.
