    Too late, damn!

    I could have used these last week. I don’t know whether it was the new sweater, or Valentine’s Day coming up or what, but I had a patron hit on me. I picked my jaw off the floor, and continued on with Reader’s Advisory… but it was really sort of odd.

    I always thought I’d have to use these in a bar, or at a party, not on the freakin’ job!

    Why shoot them down? just go with it, and see what happens

    I had a patron ask me out to dinner so we could discuss books about homeowners assosiations (about which I know no more than the computer tells me). Unfortunately it was a middle aged man.

    In a similar vein this month’s Out magazine has that same talking advert as last month. I wonder how long until it is stolen?
