Update? Me? How novel!

[chaosvizier]

I haven't updated here in a long while. I guess I was saving it up for today, when I could buy twenty-four advent calendars and start. I have to buy twenty-four because once I start opening windows, I JUST CAN'T STOP.

I think the concept that people have to be married before they're 30 is a bit outmoded. Part of the reason my first marriage was such a horrendous mistake was that we were both too young for it. I really wish we'd had more maturity beforehand--it would have saved us both a lot of heartache.

Tell you what--I'm pushing 36 and still single. If we're ever in the same town, we can go drinking and commiserate. Deal?

[chaosvizier]

Absolute deal. First round's on me, because drinking and commiserating are like breathing to me. ;-)

[deza]

You'll have to save the commiserating til after you're done celebrating your promotion, though.

[chaosvizier]

True enough. Although I can commiserate the bureaucracy that slows down the effects of my promotion. With my luck, I'll be retired by the time it kicks in... ;-)

[chaosvizier]

Either one would have been funny, if not slightly disturbing. But if nothing else, I am a master of the polite nod and eye gesture that states "Good day, I see that you are hard at work at something extremely important, which I acknowledge and will promptly forget about in the next few seconds. Tata!" And that would have been the right time.

I liked the Good story, and the scoping part of the Bad story. You forgot the part about you being kinda handsome though. I'm trying to forget about the Ugly story. ;)

[chaosvizier]

The handsome part's not really that relevant. And only happens when the moon's aligned with Venus and stuff. ;-)

But what about A', which would be, you're in the men's room and there's a woman pissing in the urinal?? Didn't that cross your mind dammit!

uh...or, I mean, congrats on the almost-promotion.

[chaosvizier]

See, if there'd been a woman pissing in the men's urinal, that would have been ok, because at least I wasn't the one who made a mistake. I'd still be in the right bathroom. What she was up to would have been her business entirely.

Also, I'd have used the other sink.

The Good: Yay! Congrats on the promotion! I think what you should do is take those many bottles of alcohol and throw a promotion party. I promise to take all of the whiskey off your hands.

The Bad: Um, I didn't hear about the suddenly single thing. Or are you using the word "single" to mean "unmarried, but dating someone"?

The Ugly: You also forgot about a fourth possibility: they could have been drag queens. ^_^

[chaosvizier]

The Good: You want the power of Johnny Walker and Chivas in your hands? We can arrange a hostage transfer... ;-)

The Bad: That was a "single=unmarried" kind of comment at the time.

The Ugly: The UN is a fairly liberal organization in some ways... but not THAT liberal. Heh.

[trishalynn]

The Good: During the negotiations, I must insist on sending an inspector to, er, inspect the cargo. With Coke. And a party hat. Who will be myself.

The Bad: Oh phew! I have relationships on the brain, excuse me.

The Ugly: But the U.N. is also a hop, skip and a jump away from the Village...

I must insist on sending an inspector to, er, inspect the cargo. With Coke. And a party hat. Who will be myself.

So you mean that you will be the party hat? Or a hat with coke? Mmm, cokehat.
