I think you flatlined because he didn't say what you thought he would say. I think that your impression of him and his of you was doomed for failure from the very beginning of this hairbrained scheme because of the contrived nature of the meeting. You didn't meet because you thought he was interesting enough and he thought you were interesting enough based off of your relative postings, which is how most people decide to meet IRL off the internet. You met because you wanted to prove something to him (and the board) that you ultimately couldn't prove to him. (What you proved to the board remains to be seen, but the board probably would have had more sympathy for you if not for the subsequent four days.) I think your meeting was too artificial for "chemistry" or "type" to come into play.

As for issues, we all have issues. This board is full of off-kilter people who I find to be a hell of a lot more interesting than most of the people I deal with on a regular basis, which is why I've put a lot of personal effort into keeping this place going. None of us fit the mold of the normal GA (whoever that poor soul may be). We're all rattling at our cages, and this is one of the only outlets we have. We're generally extroverts (with a bunch of voyeurs thrown in) who like our jobs to various degrees but have a lot of other issues and interests to keep us going. Our jobs are not the end all or be all of our lives. We're divorced or perpetually single or constantly moving jobs or hopping across the country or shocked as hell that somehow we became GPs or wondering how we managed to get older with kids and mortages but still feel pretty fucking young at heart. We don't want to necessarily become the GPs that we saw when we first entered this profession, but there are a shitload of expectations on us (usually from those very same GPs) that we do. Of course he has issues. We all do. It's the reason this board exists.

RT, this is too much energy to put in a post about a 10 minute meeting. I met her. I was polite. She joked. I joked. She did not feel uncomfortable at any point. I cut it short and that was that.

She is a moron to think that I would talk to her any differently than I post. She is a moron to think that I wouldn't be honest about her looks after repeatedly saying I would be honest about her looks. She is a moron for thinking she is attractive when she is not. She is a moron for saying I was very nice and very handsome and then trying her damndest to take it back after she didn't like what I had to say. She is a moron in every possible way one can be a moron.

Don't waste your breath on her.

You dumped him. He's mine. You can have Coltrane, and groom him as he grows into the next stage of sebbiness.

Can you stop with the moron diatribe? I worked until 2am and I am very cranky.

And you are a moron. For thinking you are cool when you are not and for having an overinflated sense of self. Not in the way that you accuse me of, but calibrated differently.

After the sort of humilating experience, it hasn't affected how I percieve myself. I perceive myself as attractive yet a work in progress. Really that's arrogant to try to take that away from me.

And JUST SO YOU KNOW. I said the nice and handsome part to be obsequious.

AoN, I do feel attractive today. Fall is almost here and the fall colors are with it....

Besides this wack assed tornado warning I'm trying to not fall asleep.

Also, one of the secretaries who I am buddies with said I look sexy today so there.

I had a dream about Coltrane last night. I totally forget what we were doing, but he was there. It was non-sexual. For some reason I think we were talking about green tea ice cream.

Was someone here lamenting that the complete Calvin and Hobbes was a limited edition that's since sold out?

If so, Amazon is offering it again.

I hadn't thought of this in years. Thanks!

"Grandmother's Song" by Steve Martin

Be courteous, kind and forgiving
Be gentle and peaceful each day
Be warm and human and grateful
Have a good thing to say

Be thoughtful and trustful and childlike
Be witty and happy and wise
Be honest and love all your neighbors
Be obsequious, purple and clairvoyant

Be pompous, obese, and eat cactus
Be dull and boring and omnipresent
Criticize things you don't know about
Be oblong and have your knees removed

Be tasteless, rude and offensive
Live in a swamp and be 3-dimensional
Put a live chicken in your underwear
Get all excited and go to a yawning festival

Unless there are sirens going off and you are taking cover, it is a tornado WATCH.

Idiot non-tornado area dwellers.

Surely you of all people are aware that green tea ice cream is a classic anal sex reference.

Are you positive? I'm pretty sure it's a fisting reference.
