I have survived my second annual thinning of the herd

[Al B. Sure!]

And out of curiosity, where are all these short people? I'm 6'1"-6'2" and I'm hardly towering over my fellow males. If anything, I feel a little short at that height.

My dinner was quite good, despite costing barely more than I imagine albie spends on rent every month. Excellent Scottish smoked salmon, a decent lamb dish and coffee and beignets to finish. Pimms cups as drinks.

No coffe /single malt scotch ?

[KrazyHorse]

Does salmon from Scotland really taste that different, or are you just throwing in adjectives to make it sound sophisticated?

1) It's not the sourcing from Scotland but the smoking technique (which tastes rather different than the cured lox you normally expect when you see "smoked salmon")
2) Duh

[Al B. Sure!]

They're who I spend more than half of my time awake with, so it's not surprising, you ****...

So?

Honestly, am I the only one who thinks this is a little off-putting. I mean think about KH always referencing his job and putting in a lot of hours, posting about the IQ's of his compatriots in his department, posting this herd culling thing, posting about how he's the 'rockstar' of his group, even comparing his height with people he works with, etc. Everything is in relation to his co-workers.

It's brought up a lot but maybe no one noticed it all coming together like this? I can't be the only one that thinks this isn't the way a man should define himself, right?

I've stopped drinking scotch, as I get immediate headaches every time I do. It's unfortunate, as I was starting to develop a real palate for them 2-3 years ago.

You are an idiot.

6'1" here and I sometimes feel short too.

Are you an idiot? The person who brought this up was Aeson.

I'm surprised you're only claiming 6'1. It may merely be that you're so big overall that I'm remembering you as taller.

albie, those of us with jobs spend a lot of time with our coworkers. Saying that I shouldn't define myself by my job is like saying that more than half of my life should be thrown away. I am proud of the things I do at work every day, and think there is a lot of meaning to most of that work.

[SlowwHand]

Correct statement. Coworkers are seen much more than family. That's why so much emphasis is put on "quality time" at home.

I really feel sorry for you.

My stomach goes crazy when I eat cheese, and considering the vast amount of tastes, types etc, it sometimes make me cry
