What's on your mind today?

Sometimes I wonder if I'm in some kind of Truman Show turned soap opera. I had to close a loan for a customer and I've never done that before. Both my manager and the only other banker were out today so I was completely on my own. I ended up fucking it up so bad that I had to call my manager on her cell to help me fix it. Then the poor guy had to come back because I missed a signature.

I thought for sure that the guy was going to hate me and think I was a total idiot. Then I get a text from my manager that he had texted her and asked for my number.

This is the second time this month that a customer has done that.

I think I need a neon sign in my office that says "I'm gay"
Strange but not a stranger<br /><br />I love my car more than I love most people.

Hire a model to take a picture with and put it on your desk. When people as if that's your sister say, "Noooo, that's my girlfriend..."

Nah, she's in Indiana or someplace. A stock photo of a guy will keep the wolves at bay. Nothing wrong with being gay, it's just a matter of self-preservation to have a guy picture. Though it certainly shouldn't be necessary.

:snicker1: I had similar experiences when I was younger, because I don't "look gay", but I don't hold back my opinions, so the situation is soon cleared up.

The women will ask for your number then. Lots of them :)

I'm having some TMJ problems, which is an issue for someone who likes steak and apples (not together).  Painful to chew.  It's a bit better, but I may have to go see an oral surgeon if it doesn't heal on its own.

Well, I got to the cardiologist this morning and was informed that he wouldn't be there today.

He's a doctor but obviously a really bad one. And his staff is just plain fucking stupid. I've dealt with bad doctors before but this is just ridiculous.
