The amount of dates I’ve been on where they were amazing in text and potatoes in real life led me to ditching the apps

It’s disconcerting when you have these great convos in text, get a kind of vibe going then meet the person and you can’t pick that vibe up in person.
It’s a really odd feeling. You know someone better from a distance than when you’re closer to them.

Chalk it up to a learning experience.
God knows I’ve made my fair share of blunders. Ive been fairly forthright about my background, so you can imagine what app dates were like in the beginning lol

That’s incredibly kind of you to say :)
It’s funny:
The difficult times are easy to deal with. But when you’re succeeding, or have something to celebrate, there’s definitely a sting that comes with it if as you say, there’s no witnesses.
get to know them 🙂
You’re going to quit because the very first person was nice and the date went well?

I only wind up with women I’ve known for a year+ through hobbies or social circles. I don’t date well, I’m a bad salesman.

soft tacos for dinner

Sooo good. Are they homemade tortillas?
Yes, homemade tortillas. And home grown corriander too.
Oh yum
That’s hot 🥵
picture time
Cat bum!
yes it is … lol , it’s Ted
Can he fit if he wants?
yes , he even looks out the little windows
Woke up too early due to a nightmare I was going to fail year 12. What? That was a very long time ago, and I was never at risk of failing, brain what is wrong with you? I would like to go back to sleep now.
Gotta say, work is not very good at product launches. They’re the sort of place that only puts out something new every 5 years or so but this has been a real hodge-podge.
When I worked for the world’s largest instrument manufacturer we would sometimes have 3 product launches in a week, but they were bad at launches in their own way. They’d announce something then say stock wouldn’t arrive for a couple of months. When stock finally hit stores we weren’t talking about it because we were preparing for the next product launch.
I took the best client facing IT guy with me into a meeting today.
Let me just say, he’s an awesome guy and great to work with.
However.
These guys really overestimate what the average person understands. Now I get why they hired me.
Back when I worked as a business analyst, about 80% of my work was translating geek into human and back again. It’s a thing. Geek being insurance speak/legalese.
My job description is “Parts Interpreter”.
I have to translate descriptions like “Thingy”, “Whatchamacallit” and “Doo-dad” into useful descriptions through dialogue with the customer.
It is amazing how often the customer doesn’t want to work with you in a dialogue and doesn’t answer any questions or respond to clarifications.
Yeah, I run into this all the time with legalese.
Especially when people claim that they have a share in a trust (they don’t, as trusts don’t have ‘shares’) but their inside-own-head definition of ‘share’ means they think they have a right to benefit from the trust. Unfortunately, the reality often is, they don’t.
What they have is permission given to the trustee to give them some benefit from the trust if the trustee feels like doing so - and that permission can be revoked or just not exercised. The benefit, any benefit, is NOT guaranteed.
But they still use the word ‘share’ to describe their situation. Its not accurate, but who actually cares what reality is anyway? Not the lawyers, not the accountants. And they pay me money to explain this sort of thing to our clients. And sometimes to accountants and lawyers.
I almost got offered a job because I could explain Juniper and MLPS even though I don’t have the technical knowledge.
If you have good hygiene and can translate any technical concept to a normal person you’re basically an instant hire in IT.
agree
the hard part is not making average people defensive
Part of the reason I gave up on my relationship with my father is that he started off defensive when learning about computers and devolved into a full on adult tantrum when I told him he didn’t need to know everything at the start. Specifically I was setting up DNS and he wouldn’t let me continue but refused to listen to anything I had to say. Still bothers me. Were I richer I’d get therapy for it but as it is I don’t think there’s any reconciling between us at this point.
that could be an age thing
It’s an asshole thing in this case.
You are soooooo right about that.

AMPLIFON !
Did you turn 50 too and get a letter?
lol no I’ve been around longer than that. I just had a giggle at your story yesterday 🙂
Oh yeah 😂
For me it was the bowel cancer swab that really made it sink in (so to speak)
I’ve had bowel cancer screening and breastscreen letters so far. Apparently turning 50 means your body is going to try to kill you.
If it makes you feel better, it’s probably me who reimburses you for the cost of those. I pay a ton of hearing aid claims
Why pay when the gubbermint sends you a bowel cancer screen for FREE every two years.
The one that super pissed me off was ‘you turned 30’ upgrade your health insurance for Spawn! Get all the way in the bin.
In case anyone was wondering, Bunnings do in fact, stock ladies underwear. Be the first to review!
They also have DIY options that work out a bit cheaper.
🤣🤣🤣
Dude! One can tell you are not well acquainted with the female nethers
my timetable is out of sorts while the move is in progress
but it’s not absolute chaos , I’ll work around it 👍
One blackberry + one triangle of cream cheese = party in mouth

Fruit & veg box arrived. I have sooooo many limes now! The capsicums are red this month instead of green which is nice.
Green capsicum is definitely the inferior capsicum
FYI - it’s the same plant, just harvested at different times. Greens are harvested early, yellow orange are mid ripe and red are the ripest.
I only learned this a couple of years ago.
Yep. Its legit. Green capsicae are unripe, usually red capsicae harvested early. The red ones, the yellow ones and the black ones are different varieties - all at ripe stage. Bull horn (red or yellow) caps are two more different varieties again. Don’t get me started on aubergines.
We agree on most things…but it’s eggplant. None of this aubergine jive
Only once in my life have I seen an aubergine that actually looked like an egg. Unless you think eggs are 20 cm long and black.
They should leave the green ones on until they’re done
That’s only half right. Green are unripe fruit of any variety, but the yellow, orange and red are different varieties.
For real? Learning heaps about this veggie.
it’s the same plant
my whole life has been a lie.
I have never recovered from learning that
afternoon tired
wonder if I have a bug
Helping the young Seagoons to move house and you are tired? Post 50 its not a bug, its a hardware issue.
they arrived from overseas with just a few suitcases so they’re organising or buying a whole household of stuff
they are getting all the spares of anything I have and of course I bought them a lot too, hopefully other fam members can kick in too
I’ve been headachy too
Holy shit I got my ticket to see Poison the Well. Been waiting since I was twenty fucking one to see these guys.
Fuuuuuuuuuuuck yessssssssssssss🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
