I Called In Sick Today

I guess my best bet is to just run the full ignore once we have confirmed it's a boyfriend. the only way I lose more in this situation is by continuing to engage her at all.

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

by the way, Cha! Cha!, if you had been more helpful in crafting responses, this situation could have been avoided.

[Cha! Cha! 628]

That doesn't seem likely.

[Napa Lite 3,278]

I don't like this. Strat doesn't deserve this. Nope, do not care for this one iota.

[Cha! Cha! 628]

Maybe he's not a boyfriend, maybe he's just a gentleman that she banged.

 

Know any girls in the new building?

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

yes. but I'm not doing that. do you guys not understand that my life turns to shit when this happens? why would I want more of it?

 

unbelievable.

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

my boss, ever the bro that she is, tried to convince me it might not have been a boy. I'm like, okay, that just cannot be possible.

 

the way I found out? she emailed the group saying, "there are chocolates at wingworker's desk if you want them." I ask wingworker, "what's the story there?" "she got flowers and candy and she doesn't want the candy at her desk." I ask who, she doesn't know who or won't say.

 

again, the group email announcing it excluded any mention of flowers or where the candy came from. so I mean. I just don't think it's a question she wanted asked.

[Cha! Cha! 628]

It could be from her mom for her birthday or something.

 

Is it her birthday?

 

I can't believe you forgot her birthday, dude.

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

why do we have to keep planting seeds of doubt

 

but Jeff, if you would just text her, she would agree to go out with you, she's probably just waiting to say yes.

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

why aren't you letting her go out with you? she obviously wants to man

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

WOW why have I not been calling her wingmanager this whole time

[Essay21 2,385]

We just say manager.

 

 

[Cha! Cha! 628]

I was working off of your confidence.

 

Seriously though, I doubt it's an actual boyfriend. Boyfriends don't send flowers for no reason. It's probably just some guy she recently had sex with.

[InternetExplorer 2,609]

you should stop now

[Essay21 2,385]

Just forget about her Strat. You don't have much invested yet, so it should only take a week or so.

[JubilantLankyLad 1,957]

I can't believe you got so drunk that you don't remember sending her flowers and candy. You might have a bit of a problem.

[JubilantLankyLad 1,957]

I like the way you explain it.

 

I expect that will be reflected in the rankings.

I drank like, 3 beers a weekend or two ago. was watching esports with my two best gaming buddies on voice. it seemed totally reasonable.

 

drinking right now, though, no. can't do that.

[JubilantLankyLad 1,957]

I'll be drinking soon too. I'll be sure to raise a glass in your general direction.

I bought my brother a chromecast for his birthday. he's in an apartment and doesn't have TV for some reason. I don't know. I soured on the raspberry pi just because it can't handle streaming the more hi def stuff, and involves more effort than I know he's willing to put in.

 

I know why people are so dumb and lazy about technology, but I will never really understand it. he desperately wants to be self-sufficient but he can't bring himself to try.

[JubilantLankyLad 1,957]

so not that desperately, then?

[JubilantLankyLad 1,957]

I love the idea of buying a chromecast for someone who doesn't have a TV.

[JubilantLankyLad 1,957]

Here's a $30 do-dad. Now you go spend $500+ so that you don't have to spend $75 on cable!

[JubilantLankyLad 1,957]

I don't think I want a $30 do-dad. As a dad, I think I deserve someone who charges at least $100.

[JubilantLankyLad 1,957]

Or three $30ers.
