I want to work with this women.

Selected tidbits.

“But there is another breed that I have encountered as well. The ass hat who drops the hint cooly that he's a "venture capitalist" in order for him to present to you...”

and

“The scenario: A guy sidles up and tries to make conversation with me. Kudos for your effort. I will engage kindly unless:

I see a Blackberry in hand
Budweiser in the other
I hear the words "So what do you do for a living" within 30 seconds of meeting me.

This question usually receives a response along the lines of: "I manually masterbate and extract sperm from comatose patients for cryopreservation." (this varies from tool to tool)”

thus

“I actually enjoy the way men bring it up...you idiots TRY sooooo hard....and Slave Girl knows EXACTLY how to coax your ego down from the noctilucent clouds...

Example:

Tool in Question (hereon out referred to as TQ): Man I've had a bad day at work.
Slave Girl: Yeah we get those on occassion. It's not like you are going to get fired so drink up, dude.
TQ: Well I will be if we don't close this deal.
SG: I'm sure you are great at your job. Look at it this way, the weekends coming up and you can totally chill.
TQ: I have no weekends, I have to go into work. Such is the life of VCs.
SG: (Big Chesire Cat smile) Uh.. FECES? Did you just say FECES?
TQ: NO. I said VC.. Venture Capitalist?
SG: OH ok. Same difference.”

All from one post.   A blog worth reading for entertainment alone. Don’t yell at me about the spelling,  I didn’t correct it and I’m not going to bring it up!

Yeah...that's why generally dating (or even appearing even slighly available) within your line of work SUCKS. She needs a quasi-boyfriend for these events to avoid this type of, erm approaches (courtship? wooing? pants-getting-into-quest?).

But then, there would be far less to blog about...

Or rather, more time for some fashion bashing (the spawn of Uggs in a previous post of her's is pretty humourous).

Rick,

Glad you have a good sense of humor...trust me, you would not want me to work for you.. I'm a pain in my own way too. :-) Thanks for mentioning my blog; you've sent quite a bit of traffic my way! As for the spelling, yeah, yeah I corrected that...(RSS feed updates be damned).

My favorite thing about doing a blog is the opportunity to look at other people's work..if there's one way to get an idea of what make a particular person tick, it's reading their blog.. You've got alot of interesting posts for me to get through..I hope to post and contribute worthwhile comments.

Cheers,

Slave Girl
