TAN #198: Oh What a TANgled Web We Weave. (Page 44)

For most of history, it was more important what you owned/made or how strong you were as a man and how visually attractive or how much money your daddy would send with you for a woman. It's only in the last century or two we've been picking our own wives/husbands.

I was talking to a Hindu Indian guy who works with me and he was miserable because his parents keep arranging marriages for him and then he breaks them off. I said "as the father of a girl, I wish I could have a say in who she marries, but in our culture all I can do is feed her lots of chocolate and not buy her acne products until she's out of college..."

Coffee. On. The. Keyboard.

And thanks for the tip.

Hi TAN.  Dating is hard and most marriage end in divorced so does it even matter?!? 

<-------Continues to search and love the wrong ones. 

Oh and my butt feels better today, will try to run a bit tonight! 

My new response to everything is FOAM roll!!!

Morning Meh and Matt.

Morning Cheri.

Morning MEH.  That sucks, sorry to hear. 

Did you fall and break it?

Slow Roll through TAN land.  Good morning.

Alrighty TAN.  I'm outta here.  Time to go head into the City and make some money.  See ya'll later

can't hurt to try it!

nope.  i'm afraid it may be a running-related injury...i should go to a doc before i put myself out of the marathon game but who has the time??

You're starting to sound like a typical guy - "Why go to a doctor??".

Hello, TAN!

Yes get to the Doc! You are old now so you don't want it getting worse.

mebbe next week.  i hate trying to get a recommendation or find a specialist for this kind of stuff.  i don't have a real PCP and they would be useless anyway...so i feel like skipping that step?

Hi TAN! 

How does this happen?   Now that I've gotten one job offer and accepted in writing (though my background check hasn't been completed yet), I get a call last night saying that a position has opened up at the firm that I've wanted to be at from the day I met the managing partner a few months ago.  I've got an interview with them today (going to be leaving in about 15 minutes), but how much of a schmuk would I be to renege on a job that I've already accepted? 

Oh, and I reached for the wrong thing and accidentally used Oust as hairspray.  At least my hair will smell nice? 

If you have a physical therapist that you can talk to, or better yet, a trainer who is a PT, try starting there.  The trainers at my gym are all licensed PT's, so I go to them for all my little aches and stuff.  If nothing else, they know anatomy really well, and the various exercises to combat common ailments.

I'd definitely start with rolling and stretching though.  It seems lately that any time I start getting real pains that it is always a result of a lack of stretching.

do you have time to wash your hair before you leave?  i'm not sure your floral air freshener scent will win them over.

and you can absolutely go back on your offer.  another opportunity came up and you had to take it.  done. 

my girlfriend Amy is an athletic trainer....maybe i can give her a call.  i bet she HATES people doing that....HEY AMY, my whatever hurts, HEY AMY, can you help this, etc etc etc.

That would suck to renege like that, but be up front in the interview today that you have this deal and that if they are interested, they need to let you know ASAP. 

If they offer you a position, weigh your newfound options  :-)  If you take it, it's rude and all that to the people you just accepted the position with, but your job is to look out for you.   Signing that offer letter just states that you have accepted their offer... it's not a contract.
