SPACE POSTERS. also sometimes men are entitled dicks.
one of the tax managers at work is leaving - his clients were sold to another firm, and i guess when that happens you go with them - and i'm bummed because a. he's super nice, and b. there is so. much. paper. in his office that i am really not looking forward to cleaning out. at least i can just shred everything.
so a guy posted an article of advice on how to talk to a woman who's wearing headphones - i'm not going to link to it because i don't want him to get the clicks, but the guardian did a take-down of it - and the internet was alternately horrified, appalled, disgusted, and entertaining. his opening advice?
a. stand in front of her
b. smile in a relaxed way
c. if she hasn't dropped her pants and/or professed her profound desire for your entitled ass appeared to notice you, wave your hand in front of her face in case she's a total moron who can't see a guy standing right in front of her demanding her attention
it gets worse, but we can stop there. dude, we see you. we know you're there. we know what you want. we're just not interested in you, and we're hoping that you can be that one guy in a thousand who can take a fucking hint and will leave us alone. (hope springs eternal, you know.)
he has apparently written a shit-ton of articles about his ex - "my ex is telling everyone that i'm crazy", "why won't my ex get back with me", "how can i prove to my ex that i'm the right guy for her", etc etc. granted, they might not be about his ex specifically, but i think it's safe to say that this guy has some issues.
in much more kickass news, check out this video of jessie graff, who's a stuntwoman on supergirl, qualifying for american ninja warrior. she makes it look terrifyingly easy and i am SUPER IMPRESSED. the apparently green lantern-inspired outfit is a geeky plus.
also, have some nifty travel posters. for OUTER SPACE. :D god bless nasa and their really cool free stuff.
