Anyone else have a boss that's a total asshole? Hope I'm not the only one.

I've had a bad cold for almost a week now and today I had jury duty. It took an hour and a half each way to get there in traffic so I left at 8 this morning and didn't get home until 7. That did not do my cold any favors.

I quit a job I worked at this summer because the sous chef under whom I worked directly every day was (still is, I assume) a manic depressive drug addict. That was a blast.

I'm still old fashioned when it comes to personal TMI online so won't say much, but I'm working for a firm that is beyond dysfunctional.

I actually went on a date with a guy who's a programmer for OKCupid a few months ago. Nothing came out of it, but it was super interesting talking about his job.

You're gay? Guess I missed that memo.

I remember that number8 is bisexual mostly because of that great exchange where number8 said "Turns out I love sucking dick" and Derek said "Time to update your resume."

Do boys really like dimples? Is that a thing?

Because I thought it was a sort of Victorian thing that's fallen out of favor. I think we're supposed to be too sunken-cheeked for dimples these days.

[Lucky]

I was more under the impression dimples were a thing girls liked boys to have. It also makes me think of older women fawning over little boys saying how cute they are.

[Mara]

I could see dimples as being seen as cute, but in a sort of infantile way.

I am, of course, quite dimpled. I never thought of them as an asset or a detriment-- they're just dimples.

So what the fuck is going on in Washington where this is legal? Cop stands there the entire time while this goes down.

[youtube]lVLvAOsX95M#![/youtube]

Phoenix Jones, Midnight Jack, Red Falcon, Bishop and Westlake Drake are on a routine patrol of the University District when they come across a man yelling at a car. The suspect, out side of the car in the orange shirt, starts punching the window of the car scaring the passengers of the vehicle. Phoenix steps in, stops the assault while Red calls 911.

The suspect in orange then changes his target to Phoenix and begins using racial slurs. After 8 minutes of trying to de-escalate the situation the cops arrive (this is a the 2:32 mark of your condensed video). Phoenix Jones tells the officer that he would like to leave and would like a police escort to the team's car. The cop agrees and then the suspect in orange says "F**k you ni**er! I'll bring this to your house!"

At this point Phoenix agrees to mutual combat, the two shake hands and the fight commences. Right before Phoenix knocks out the suspect in orange, the suspect says "You know you don't want none of this". His friends confuse this with him trying to stop the fight and begin another verbal attack on Phoenix.

The police officers move in and tell the suspect's friends that the suspect agreed to fight and in Washington that is legal but if either of them touch Phoenix without consent they will be arrested for assault. With the suspect in orange still unconscious Phoenix and his team continue patrol.

"I RESPECT EVERYONE'S RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH. THE ONLY REASON I CONSENTED TO A FIGHT WAS BECAUSE HE SAID HE WOULD COME TO MY HOUSE. I TAKE MY FAMILY'S SAFETY VERY SERIOUSLY."

On the way home Phoenix was contacted by 911 who said the original victims the man in orange had assaulted would like to press charges. Phoenix agreed to give them the video of their assault and not to play it for the public until the Seattle police could review it.

**UPDATE** Phoenix Jones wants to remind you that while this video is funny, entertaining, and justified, it is most importantly legal: Seattle Municipal Code 12A.06.025.

"My goal is to keep the people safe and to uphold the law. That is why I called the official authorities to report the crime and then later, under the SPD's supervision, engaged in legal mutual combat. I spend time studying the laws applicable to my nightly activities in addition to the time I spend in the gym training in combat." - PJ

I received a compliment from a customer today, where they wrote in about me.

They didn't know my name, so they described me as "the balding heavyset man in flooring".

Wow, talk about a back-handed compliment!

[Dukefrukem]

I trust everyone is okay? Was your car totalled?

What happened?

Sorry. Missed this yesterday. Yeh everyone is fine. Wasn't bad. I was probably going 20 MPH Merging off a highway onto a road. The car in front of me started moving and must have changed his mind. I looked behind me for oncoming traffic and when I looked forward again he was stopped. He must have slammed on his breaks when he changed his mind. Totally on me. Car was not totoalled. Front end was messed up. Hood and bumper. Won't be terrible to fix. Waiting for the est today. I just hate myself for falling victim to that.

Yeah, that's not very nice. S/he could have found another way to describe you... for instance, asking your name.

Oh come on. Now I want details. And a pic. And your address kinda.

TIL Washington has a mutual combat law. Can't decide if that's awful or fucking awesome.

[Dukefrukem]

TIL what TIL stands for.

i like that official correspondence from government officials includes things such as tl;dr and "super skunk."

[Robby P]

If that guy in the orange was intoxicated, which I'm guessing he most certainly was, he probably wasn't in the proper state of mind to consent to something as dangerous as mutual combat. I don't have a problem with the law itself but I also don't think the police should encourage it, particularly in cases such as this where it's obvious that one guy is just clearly going to get his ass handed to him.

Do boys really like dimples? Is that a thing?

Yes! Dimples, freckles and red hair. Can't beat those three features. ritch:


EDIT: Natural red hair. Not that chemical red hair that was fashionable a few years ago.

I allow it if the girl in question is Gillian Anderson. Fake away.

[Sycophant]

Dimples are definitely attractive on women, and I've never once thought about it as a child-like quality.
