So missed the new thread and posted this on the last (does that make me Lasties?):

Ah, jeez. I'm not encouraging people to be flippant with their greetings, am I? I just don't like leaving people out and I can't remember everyone.

So, Hiya! to each and everyone of you.

Eek! Not your face. It's a nice face. Not that it would be any less of a bother if it wasn't a nice face. Faces should be left out of any mauling, if at all possible.

Ummm...I'm stoic to a fault. I don't like sympathy. I could be lying there with my guts spilling out a deep and gaping wound and I would be all, "I'm fine." I might even be tempted to pull out a little Monty Python. Lightening the situation can is rarely a bad thing in my book.

Forget to add this: Mal4Prez...hey there! How ya been? How's internet boy?

I'm not good at water cooler talk. Doesn't that require detailed knowledge of the latest episode of Friends?

Hiya Tristan and Rugbug and MSG and Dayve and Penguin and Mavourneen and James and SismyG and everyone not posted yet. I've missed you guys!

More of the same in my world, only it's cold now. Hey - I went to the nonflan. Were any of you there?

Edit: broke up with internet boy. But it was super fun while it lasted, and didn't end ugly.

Hey then it's all good Mal4Prez...

I think we can just chat about whatever we want:) Not like that's ever stopped us before or anything.

Ah so much better. Changed my gym clothes and did a 30 min run on the treadmill in our faculty fitness room ( which we obtained through a grant and the company that leased us the machines went bankrupt and no one ever came to collect the machines...so we'll keep them until someone shows up to fetch them)So I feel much much better.

Good for you! I wish I had a fitness room. I've put on so much weight I can't wear half my clothes!

Hey - that's good cooler talk, right? Whining about weight gain?

Well M4P, at least your internet thing got off the ground. The only guy I was interested in just fizzled out. He got all weird and uncommunicative, so I stopped the effort and then he got upset that I didn't completely re-arrange my schedule at the drop of his hat. Sorry, buster. I've got a life and it only included him if I figured it did (or he communicated enough so that he was a person I wanted to spend time with). He made me not want to figure it did.

Fitness room? Yes, please. Although I HATE running. I missed the gym on Mon because horse is lame, but that should be over with and I will get my booty back on that elliptical and do that hour and a half of weight lifting...I swear.

Ah, weight-whining and dating woes...good stuff for the water-cooler!
I have given up trying to find a love-interest around here...I have zero opportunity to meet anyone, actually. That does not leave out my qing ren, though...even if she is halfway around the world!
I have gotten to the point where it just does not seem like it's worth the effort; I am happy alone right now. Well, not completely alone...I have y'all!
M4P, I am sorry the internet thing did not work...but I am glad you had fun while it did. And RugBug, you need to find someone willing to rearrange THEIR schedule to meet yours!

absolutely Mal4Prez:)Whine away

Rugbug- I so totally cannot do an elliptical. For some reason I just can't master it. Probably the shortness factor

Tristan- yup you've always got us...but don't give up. When you least expect it BINGO!

Hello again all.

My back is killing me this afternoon. Not really a water coole conversationalist either.

I think nighttime is dark so you can imagine your fears with less distraction.

No more whining today - gotta go. But tristan - I'm with MSG. Let's not give up - anything can happen!

BTW, I think back ailments are excellent water cooler conversation material. I'd join you, but I'm now allowed to leave the office.

Ah, the Lady Browncoats are all I need!
I do think you are right, MSG...it will happen when I am not looking. I'll let y'all know and judge to see if the next one is right for me!

Mircea...sorry to hear about the back. You need to get better; you've got some marching to do in 200+ days!
