TAN #51: TAN and Deliver (Page 71)

That seriously sucks.  You could fly across from New York to San Fran in that time, with a few hours left to spare. 

Or you could drive from Davenport to Cedar Rapids and pick up some tires, drive to Cedar Falls and pick up some muffler cut-outs, drive to Cascade to talk to a customer, to Monticello to talk to another one, and finish the day in Davenport.  The funny thing, at this point I don't remember any of the day before 3 o'clock.  Mind completely shuts off.

It was good honestly - I thought the conference was a bit disorganized and the area we were in was both forlorn and overpriced, but research/networking wise it was good.  A few people congratulated me on the Nature paper (score!).  I saw some people from my old job, which helped confirmed how was it was for me to leave.  The funniest thing was running into this kid I knew from my undergrad that I haven't seen in almost 10 years!  Apparently he went to grad school with this girl I knew from New Mexico; turns out it's a very small world. 

OK, that does suck...  4-5 is my limit for enjoyment.  8 is my limit for comfort.  11-12 is my physical limit.

Guilty.  But my frame is not made for cars.  I can't stretch out at all.  I'm cramped up all the time.  It's impossible to straighten my legs...

That's awesome!  Congratulations.  It is a small world.  Glad that the research and networking was good.

We're talking about driving Sharkie, not pizza.

That doesn't sound fun.

You are completely messing up your quotes tonight. And if I could have had 7 hours of pizza while driving today I'd be in a much better mood.

That sucks...I'm really sorry to hear that.  This whole process of dating is such BS.  And if the guy is dumb enough to want to try to get back with his ex, F him.

Ick!

First, he shouldn't have been on the market if he still had feelings.  At least feelings stong enough to want to get back together.

Good for you for nixing the "hang out" thing.  Eff that....

Sorry....

Thanks.....dating is BS.....i'm gonna be single forever..........ok.....hopefully not!

Join the club.  I actually don't think I'll be single forever.  Just until I'm in my 30's.  

Puppies are expensive.  Mine thought the coffee table legs would be a perfect place to work those baby teeth...  They are all gnawed up now....

Thanks......mind you he did this via EMAIL...................................................

Fantastic.  I know that feeling.  I had a girl break up with me while we were in college.  She left a message on my instant messenger while I was away.
