Actually, there is something to "women's intuition" or so my consumer behavior/psych type classes tell me, though it often has more to do with a desire to communicate. Men tend to get very different intuition and it's not often the kind that needs to be communicated, just acted upon. I must be tired because I can't remember which of my classes this was for, but last Spring we watched a video where they had boys and girls at various ages, 4-5 9-10, etc respond to the same situations and almost invariably the girls acted one way and the boys acted a different way. It's not better or worse to be one or the other, it's just what it was, which could be genetics, conditioning, or even more likely - both.

But back on topic, I can understand the discomfort that may have come from the situation. No need to beat anyone into the ground over it, no need to figure much out - I just think the whole scenario seemed rather odd. I'm totally in Alex's corner with this one - it was asked entirely in the wrong order. Maybe it didn't warrant walking out, but... it is what it is. On the other hand, I prefer €'s analysis... I like caffeinated illicit sex. Or whatever that was. All I saw was sex. And illicit.

Are you sure the offer of good deed came from a young college student and not a christmas woodland creature? If the latter, I think you chose wisely.

Christmas Woodland Creature?


Whale day!

I had loose stools, but I fixed them up with a new set of good screws.

Well, nobody offered to buy me a starbucks this morning. However, a nice gentleman held the door open for me.

Unless he was leaving that means he would have been behind you in line.......not that I have ever done that:D

He ended up in line behind me. The barista did not get my drink right, alas. Since I got more than one, I did not actually start drinking until I got to the office. My once in a blue moon coffee drink was not a peppermint mocha. Too lazy to go back and get the proper drink
:( Oh well!

Well, duh... it's because you went to Starbucks! ;)

Too bad you don't live down here - I'd treat you to a prettyful peppermint mocha.

How about a to-go at the big blow out in your honor? ;)

No Peet's near the office, sorry to report.

I happened to read the starbucks cup today, they've got a "promotion" called Pass the Cheer. Offer to buy the drink of the person behind you. Or the retelling of a story, to inspire cheer and paying it forward, or backwards.

Wonder if this is what the college student was all about?
