Thanks, Mom.

chainedbarista... GK is a guy. I know, his dulcet tones are hard to resist and his intelligence so devastatingly sexy... but he's still male.

Oh god, it's even happening here. And you guys can't even hear my voice on calls. What is it now? Do I write like a girl? <sob>

Not at all, GK. I'm sure it was just a slip of the finger

Not necessarily a bad thing. I have found that, among the writers whose works I enjoy, the better female authors tend to be very vividly descriptive in their accounts of other people, leading to more interesting reading material.... Your posts are nothing, if not interesting reading material.

Consider it a unintentional compliment

I had a woman inform me of her Australian boyfriend (she made a specific point of saying he was Australian) who was accusing her of...something, she never made it clear what but she was apparently asking me, a complete stranger, for relationship advice. Said person insisted on calling me sweetheart. This is why I hate when my Ipod dies, noise cancelling headphones are a lifesaver on skytrain, fer serious. Avoiding some of the sights when it comes to transferring at Broadway on the other hand, is not so easy.

What I eventually learned to do was to pretend that the batteries never died. I had one supervisor who would not leave me alone to do my work unless I had my headphones on. Even when the batteries died, I still kept them on.

One of my colleagues used to do this to avoid a chatty, time-wasting cleaner when she did a late shift. She didn't have an Ipod or other player, just the headphones going into her pocket.

Note to self. Do not read Gravekeeper posts sitting on a bench in the middle of a public shopping area...

I will just let it stand as is and let the power of imagination take you to places you do not want to go.

There aren't words for your kindness, GK.

we distinguish people with similar names with various odd nicknames, such as "Diver Mark," "Dirtbag Mark," "Captain Mark," "Ohio Mark," "Dumbass Mark," "Rapist Mark," and "Ass Chaps Mark."

Some of those examples are self-explanatory, but I simply must have backstories on all of them!
