People that use the forum to ask questions that are better asked to someone in real life who would be more inclined to give a proper answer.

Like "can a tailor fix this shoulder"? Why not actually show a real tailor the jacket and ask HIM?

Or using the forum to ask questions that can be googled in 2 secs.

Like "How many dollars is 100 euros?"

I personally search Google as my standard way of finding information. Although you really can't blame people for asking others' opinions on a clothing forum, it's like going to see 50 tailors at once (well more like 50 knowledgeable salespeople...).

My job, I know most people feel that way, however I have to stew for the next week and a half to see if mine is one of an unspecified number of positions being eliminated.

This was never intended to be a career, more a stepping stone until my business takes off, however I had hoped to pick the timing of my departure.

Snow. It starts snowing almost literally the minute we start class this morning and has not stopped class, and we didn't get out of class early even though the roads have gone to **** when I went to work. Ugh.

This really attractive girl, who seemingly has her **** together, who I think likes me, and after the first conversation longer than 5 minutes with her I find her to be very boring.

Sorry to laugh Brian, but that is funny. There's a woman in my office/building who every guy agrees is good looking (okay face, phenom body), well educated, etc. but who is also the biggest bore in the world. I tried to talk with her once in the elevator and even going down a few floors I was bored.
