I work on a college campus with approximately 12,000 female students between the ages of 18 and 24. I feel like a dirty old man at least once a day.
But would you feel the same way if you met an 18 to 24 year old woman who wasn't on a college campus. Like in a bar or on a deserted island? Hmm? |

If 40 sorority girls walkedbt me wearing yoga pants on said island I probably would feel the same, yes.

At the end of my time working at a university I kept looking at all the freshmen and thinking, "They're just babies!" The scantily clad ones I wanted to cover up, not drool over. "You're too young for that outfit!"  |
Hahahaha! I'm really good at this!

I've been given a document and a freshly-wired HP C7000. Let's see how this turns out.

I'm rollicking here. My college campus has < 25 year olds (I'm 33) of all nationalities. The truly exceptional eye-catching women are rare (my tastes in aesthetic are particular), but there's still a large number of very healthy, very beautiful women on campus that stop conversations when they walk by. The Swedish women alone fit a particular archetype of height, health, and habitus.

I'm mostly safe from temptation because most of the women in engineering aren't particularly heart-stopping, but when the exchange students from Sweden, Iceland and Finland come over, each one looking like a better version of Reese Witherspoon, I giggle hysterically watching the faculty fall over themselves to offer their advice.

I should get back to nature, too. You know, like going to a shop for groceries instead of the computer. Maybe a condo in the woods that doesn't even have a health club or restaurant attached. Buy a car with only two cup holders or something. -Signe

I'll take the campus and the young blood over the assholes and conservative business types twice my age and on their way out of existence at the casino.
It should be interesting when I get into an actual Accounting office.

Working in advertising means most of the women I work with are attractive, with some downright hot women. Figuring out that these women are half my age is really... well, I'm not entirely sure of the word exactly. Discouraging? Shocking? Depressing? It's not like I am in any position or real desire to go out with them, what with being married and all, but damn... when the fuck did I get to be so old?
Having gray hairs infest my Beard-thulhu doesn't help either.

So my outgoing deputy is pretty awesome, pretty cute...and pretty married. My incoming deputy is pretty cute, and single, but...well, I'm the supervisor, so...  Was ordering tickets at work for an event, and the guy manning the table asks me if I'm bringing a date. I'm pretty new here, so I say no. He suggests that maybe I can bring one of the women from my section, because there's a bunch of cute girls down there. Pretty much the only section with more than one or two people in it. I had to remind him that I'm one of their managers, so that's a no-go. |

Thanks, folks! I find I'm having an "easier" time of doing these doodles because I've been making myself do the monthly challenges. Easier in the sense that my lines and technique has been improving. Coming up with ideas on what to draw is still tough.

Damn you for making me google that. (Yes, I know the context made it very clear, but having been involved in this type of thing* this side of the pond, I was curious.) (* No, not that involved. Peripherally involved as the boss.) |

I've done that more times than I can remember. Something about how the quotes come up in the reply window means I miss the end of a quote and put my reply inside it. And thanks! Right now, someone just needs to roll me home so I can hibernate. I'm stocked up on food for the winter. *burp* We had our Harvest / Diwali pot luck today. So much tasty, tasty Indian food and desserts.. omnomnomnom. |

I had to remind him that I'm one of their managers, so that's a no-go. Did you know the management counselor here (just before I got here) was PNG'd back after his secretary walked in on him boning a subordinate generalist?  You should ask around some more. At many places it's common for the names of all the new single men to be passed around all the LES staff. Friend who went to Bangkok met girls in annexes blocks away they he had never been to who knew him by full name already. I'm sure you can find somebody, heh. Also, I hear Mexico in General is a pretty happy hunting ground. Every single person I've met who did a tour there has a Mexican wife... |

That might be true for the entry level folks, but that's not the impression I get as a manager. Maybe I'm just too boring for all that.
Frankly, my social life was a lot better in Benin...which should be impossible, but at least it's given me an excuse to splurge on toys for myself.

Ikea has come out with their own electronic Stand Desk. As my Stand Desk had not arrived, though my wife's had, I requested a refund for the desk and all the extra bits. Much to my surprise, they are giving me said refund.
I expected no such behavior from a Kickstarter company. I'm pretty happy with them. Makes me almost wish I'd kept the desk. Almost. But given the total fucking nightmare of their cheap Chinese pieces, I'm glad I'm getting an Ikea one.

Sometimes I give our web address with a 'dot orgy'. But not blatantly, just enough that it makes the person pause and consider asking for clarification, then think that I'd never say such a thing and move on. Those brief moments of subversion are so special to me.
