Something weird is going on.

I’ve been getting hit on.

This never happens to me. Ever. And that’s not one of those statements that’s meant to prompt a compliment – it’s just true. I mean, I have been hit on before. Usually towards last call.

The only thing I can think is that it’s the braces.

I don’t know if it’s a brace fetish or just sympathy. But I’m pretty sure that’s it. One guy even said “You look cute in those braces.” Like they were some kind of fashion accessory. Of course, this could have been from lack of skill because he also said “What you doin tonight?” Um, did you just leave the verb out of that sentence?

So yeah, the caliber of these guys is not what I would consider quality. But that’s beside the point – it’s just weird that suddenly I’m getting comments. Like what’s changed besides the 10 pounds I’ve gained?

And just in case you’re wondering - my response to that grammatically incorrect question was “I’ll be with my kids.” The fact that he didn’t anticipate that was going to be my response also demonstrated that he lacked observation skills. Since the kids were with me when he asked.

Ohhh yeah, bring on the winners!
