Our candidate is here, I shook her hand and spoke to her for maybe a minute this morning. That's all the contact I am going to get. Trying not to read anything into it.

I am skipping tons of class and yet my grades have never been better. I don't know why I didn't start this years ago. I still study when I'm supposed to be in class... I just don't want to see people.
Its sunny and beautiful here today. I think I'm going to spend the afternoon studying by the pool.
I've been taking Mucinex to get over this sinus infection and it's making me feel icky. Like I can taste the pills even though I swallow them with tons of water.
I started Stinky on phenobarbital this week and I hate seeing the side effects. He's walking drunk and it's cute and pathetic and depressing. I hope he feels better soon.
I was going to ask why he was on pheno because I forgot about his seizures. Poor Stinky, hope this helps him.
mp does the full moon affect his seizures at all? The one time I took my Pugs Lee to the emergency vet and tons of animals were coming in with seizures that night. The tech told me that the gravitational pull of the moon affects animals with seizure disorders. I thought it was crazy interesting, just really crappy at the same time.
While I'm feeling better I can't stop blowing my nose. I feel bad for my coworkers. I would have stayed home another day, but I'm out of sick days because of my surgery and they instituted a policy that you can't WFH for two days in a row and I have things due today. So my options are to take an unpaid day and lose a few hundred dollars while still working so I don't get fired, or be in the office as a snotty mess.
Don't worry daktor71 , weird also equals interesting in my book. Oh, and to clarify, I think almost all people in IT are a little "off"...not just the men.

Give it a few weeks. One of our kitties is epileptic and is on pheno. It took a few months to get her dosage to the right amount but now she is a happy little kitty and she has been on it for years.
Always befriend the IT department. They can help you more than anyone. And I like their brand of weird.
@pdx18, avoid milk or ice cream, it makes you mucous-y and gross. Oh wait, that's throat. You have sinus stuff. Eh.
I told TIP about this, but I can post it here, too: pretty sure my dad found some bed restraints of mine. He was digging through my backpack for some reason, a week before I moved, and I caught him hurriedly zipping it up when I walked down the hall. Not sure what he was looking for or trying to pack for me, but that's what he gets for going through my things.
wow sounds like I have one heck of an uphill battle then... we're not all creepy or weird. I am a very cool IT guy, just ask me!
What? No. I never said he was weird. I'm sick of weird jealousy texts from him re: the person I'm dating but he's not weird, and not because he's in IT.
This is one of those things where you need to know the backstory and not make any reference to someone in your profession about you, especially as a noob. The fact that he's in IT has nothing to do with weird texts. The weird texts have everything to do with the fact that I used to hook up with him, broke things off, hooked up again he professed his love for me, and we remained friends.
I'm annoyed at work and this whole "he's weird bc he's in IT?! I'm in IT and super cool" thing grated on me. We get it, you're "normal" you don't need to keep telling us that. Where the "I'm going to keep calling him so he can see how normal I am" ecard when you need one?

WOW, so maybe the big happy, smiley thing at the end of my comment didn't convey the proper irony I was trying to use. No I don't know the back story, but the general idea is (and probably for good reason) that we're an odd bunch and there is nothing wrong with that. I look at it this way, you bring into a thread what you want, I was just having a little fun with a general stereotype about us IT professionals, if you gleaned more than that out of my comments, well then I am sorry I offended you.
As for your friend, well hopefully what ever is/was there can get figured out...I was in that position with a gal here at my office. We were both going through our divorces at the same time and finished at about the same time; we shared a lot and ended up as FWB for a while, we needed it and it just kind of worked out well. After we moved on there was some awkwardness but now we're back to being very good friends and nothing more, I hope you can land there.

I get the vibe that you like attention from the ladies, and that the sweet/charming "Oh, hehe, I didn't notice that" and "Gee golly, not all IT guys are weird" typically goes a long way for you.
But admittedly men on the board are generally in bitch eating crackers territory for me, so I am biased.
Glad I'm not alone. It's annoying as shit. Just be normal. Stop telling us you are and turning everything into the Token Dude Show
Ha! I just realized that both our IT guys are kind of creepy. The one used to creep me out, but he's been around so long I forget that most of the time. But he still is. The new one is nice but odd. And not good at IT. The one before that was uber creepy; even the main IT guy thought so, LOL.
