an exercise in losing my zen

[anamuan]

My boss has pointed out the beginnings of an unfortunate correlation: days there are All-Hands meetings are days I get caught in some kind of Metro-delay. I got on a little bit, but not late for work late, and ended up stuck on the train for an extra 45 minutes. Luckily today's meeting was in the afternoon, but it's still no fun to have to work

that's a brilliant idea!

[froidaux]

you could tell her you have a girlfriend :x

[anamuan]

also a possibility! but i feel it's a bit unfair of me (in terms of institionalized privilege, and who has it) to come out, if i'm not actually gay.

perhaps i could bring up my interesting 4-person internet!wife relationship(s)

[froidaux]

Yes, it might lead to another Chuck and Larry :/

That could work!

[anamuan]

as in, not the best of movies, canada, and a very talented hobo?

i am amused by your lj's title now because that is what he was calling me until i told him YOU were the real cunning linguist. *giggle*

[anamuan]

hahaha. cute~

:/ i already have a made-up boyfriend, in order to avoid co-workers trying to go out with me. it's so bizarre that they don't seem to understand that saying, 'no, i'm not interested' means, no, really, i'm not interested. :/ busy-bodies are annoying. :x

it is like, 'you are not with a man. you are fair gammmmmme' strangely, if it were my coworkers hitting on me, i think i'd do a better job of outright rejection. (i could wear a sign that says: I REJECT! LOSER! or maybe not all the time, because maybe someone came to me with work, and it is kind of my job not to reject work, but so maybe like a little flashcard on a stick i could hold up. and then if they kept it us I could be like OMG YOU CAN'T READ? HOW DID YOU GET THIS JOB?? and they would feel extra stupid, and probably call me names even though it's their fault for not taking 'no, sorry' as an answer). But I can't tell a nice lady 'i'm sorry, your son, whom you obviously love a lot, is not my type.'

sdks;f;slds makes sense. i'm still all for pretending to have a long distance relationship. my fake boyfriend and i keep breaking it off, but we're doing well lately! we're totally going out this weekend to fake restaurant! we should fake double. :|

[anamuan]

yes! let's! there's nothing quite like a long-distance double date!

...i think my SO needs a name/gender/history.
