Why the weekends suck edition. Or: Being stood up blows.

So, this latest kvetch focuses on my dating life, yet again.

Remember this ladies, you get what you pay for. At least that's been the conventional wisdom. If this is true, then why is it that I've only been stood up by guys from the one dating site I actually have PAID FOR? Riddle me that, why don't you?

Anyhow, nothing says awesome like schlepping out in the FREEZING cold (have I mentioned that it was about 30 degrees today and SLEETY? No? Well, let me tell you, the weather's no treasure this week) and then festering in a bar for 40 minutes waiting for your mystery date. Who chooses not to show, and doesn't bother telling you he's not going to grace you with his presence. Thank god for World War Z, that would have been a very painful hour without its company.

I just don't get how some people find it acceptable to just not show up-as if everyone else's time isn't as valuable as your own? Were they all raised in barns? Who knows. All I know is that I am seriously cranky about the waste of time-I have loans left to underwrite tonight, you jerk!

His loss, really, at the end of the day. But damn if I'm not annoyed right now.

Yeah, I am going to poop on his head, but he's probably not even worth the effort.
