I could stare at him in a movie....any day.
We can pray it is so.
good looking enough to be gay, but he’s not!
LOL I have been tanning away my whiter than white skin for the wedding....just one day did I see a male there. He didn’t notice any of the young things there...just his own image in any reflective surface...OMG...I gagged to myself that he had to be gay. Good grief. Talk about a vain man. He was good looking enough, but the fact that he had to look himself over all the way to his car was gag worthy.
A caring garage would put up a reminder the day before.
I have to say that the guy yesterday did say to me when I was leaving, see you MONDAY. I thought, oh has he forgotten it’s only Weds [they know I telework on Fridays]? caring, but not caring ENOUGH, I guess.
Interestingly, this particular guy told me that Monday was his Easter, identifying himself as an orthodox Christian. They are all arab, but this one at least, is a Christian.
He is also the one that had been draining my car battery by charging his phone in my car! did I mention that? bc you park people in, you have to leave your key and the car unlocked. I had a USB cord that I kept plugged in for charging my phone to and from work. Once I got in and the car was turned ON but not running. That was one red flag. Then more recently I got in and the car was not ON but there was a PHONE plugged into my charger. I took it out, walked up to him and said, is this yours? he sheepishly took it and said thanks. Needless to say, I take the USB cord in my purse with me now.
Oh, wow. Not at all Christian behavior. Not at all.
We saw the trailer to this movie in the theatre last week (we were there to see Woman in Gold). It looks very good and is on my list to see. I did not notice Eduardo, however. And Eduardo is very noticeble! (heart throb).
Ick. Maybe you need one of those nanny bears to leave in your back seat.
A simple sign at the exit of the garage would be nice. “Hey, we’ll be closed x because of y.”
well this is the District building, there are not a ton of non-DC employees parking in there, so they figure everyone knows.
what’s a nanny bear?

If I want to see Kate Upton all I have to do is look on Twitter, where she’s some video game character in an ad constantly.
Did you know they are talking about letting restaurants deliver beer now with food orders?
