I don’t believe you actually spoke to her, Correction, I don’t believe she replied

You know at Target they make you a handle for the big packs of toilet paper with a strip of tape. You can carry the pack like a briefcase and not loose your swagger, or street cred as at were.

It seems to me that to be “winners” we make the best choices we can, then make the most of those choices. “Losers” always second-guess their choices, or bemoan the outcome. It is only be hindsight that we gain perspective and if you’re always looking behind you’re likely to go off-course or crash into a solid object. So – winners also must focus on what’s next, not what’s been.

I *love* how you made the most of a potentially awkward situation by recognizing that any awkwardness is perceived and conveyed. You overcame that! Way to recognize that everyone needs good toilet paper! And who doesn’t love a bargain?

Hahahaha. No shame in crapping a lot. As my dad would say, it’s a sign of good health.

And maybe one day you and she will laugh about this story when you’re old friends!

I agree with Heather. “You’re THE writer. The rest of us are just wanna be’s!” I also liked your story very much, and I’ve personally taken far worse walks of shame.

Is this a quiz?? I love quizzes:>)
Both choices–the Mets game & elevator discourse–were winners because you chose real life connections. Networking is an illusion. The players constantly change and it becomes a moving target. It’s exhausting. You, Neilochka, can be the calm in the eye…

i like the way you elevated the walk of shame. i had a really interesting conversation with my husband, he runs along the lines of introvert and i think his thoughts would have been parallel to yours on the whole toilet paper/loser thing….but i love how you just pushed through to make it a totally okay thing with the hot chick. i am going to have tim read this post because i think it will resonate after the conversation we just had.

still rocking september, neil.

And I think you put too much stock in these “networking” events. Make yourself happy. In the end, that’s all that matters.

It is all about your attitude.
