Some say how bad that would be and can you believe that.

A lady at work asks me when did I get the beard. A lady at work says oh no the coffee isn’t ready story of my life. Coffee not being ready is the story of this lady’s life. I have had this beard for as long as it’s taken  to grow the beard to this length. It has taken me this amount of time to grow this beard if that is helpful.

It’s not always going to be this great.

The thing is

I have a flaw in my conflict style

Stupid Fucker Me

I pull into the parking lot at work the same time as an obese man. It takes the obese man twenty to thirty minutes longer to reach his desk than it takes me to reach my desk. I have seen the obese man order the pizza lunch special and a thirty-two ounce Sierra Mist for lunch. He makes the delivery man bring the lunch to his desk and then does not offer the delivery man a tip. It has been said, and I believe, the obese man never tips the delivery man.
