Now I didn’t post about what happened and I’m not going to go into details, but I found out yesterday I get to keep my job. I know it sounds weird that I won’t give any details, but the last thing I want is for my work to find me on Xanga and fire me over something like that. I know its VERY unlikely that they would even find me, but I just don’t want to take that chance.
Last night I went out with Danielle, who I used to work with at AAA. We went to the Bolingbrook Golf Club for dinner. For those of you not familiar with it (which is probably most of you) the Bolingbrook Golf Club is a VERY nice golf course which is about halfway in between my house and work. I’ve never actually been there but every year comedian Tom Dressen has a charity golf benefit which brings out a lot of celebrities and athletes. The closest I’ve come to going to the Golf Club was getting pulled over on the road that its on and pulling into the parking lot so that the cop could give me a ticket while I blew his partner. Anywho, where is a link to the website:

I expected the food at their bar and grill to be outrageously priced, but it was more reasonable than I thought. Sure, the Awesome Nachos Danielle got were $10, but these things were a meal in themselves. They were fully loaded on a large dinner plate, piled high with cheese, beef, sour cream, onions, olives and peppers on the side. And even with me having some of them, Danielle was still not able to finish them. Not only that but she left behind a lot. Oh, and they really kicked ass, they might have been the best nachos I ever had. I got the ravioli which came with my choice of soup. I chose the French onion which was very good as well.
There was this really cute bartender who working there. I kept checking him out as soon as I got there. The more I saw him the more I thought he was gay. And after dinner we moved to the bar, I had a chance to talk to him and interact with him. He was very cool, always smiling (he has an AMAZING smile) and having a good time. He is 23 and started working there 6 years ago as a busboy. Turns out, he is the manager of the bar and grill now. And he loves his job, which is always cool. All that was wonderful, but it also doesn’t make a damn bit of difference to me at this point because he has a girlfriend, which means that he is straight. And yes, I know what everybody says “well just because he has a girlfriend doesn’t mean he is straight.” And yes, that can be true in some cases, but for the most part, most guys who date girls are straight. And I’ve never been the type to be the other man. I also don’t like to live under the delusion that I can convert a straight guy. Gay guys that believe that really annoy me.
Still, it all means that I’ve got no gaydar. In fact, I’m starting to believe that there is no such thing as gaydar. I usually just try to base my opinion on if somebody is gay by their mannerisms and how they talk. It never works.

Good morning!
I’m glad that you get to keep your job! I ALWAYS order nachos when I go to a place that offers them for dinner, as your friend Danielle did.
I don’t know–I’m not convinced. I was reading an article the other day in an older issue of cosmopolitan (not sure which month, but it wasn’t this months issue), about gay men….”how to tell if your boyfriend is secretly gay” or something RIDICULOUSLY titled in a similiar manner. It gave all sorts of “tips”
, but it did also state that ALL men have the best gaydar (it was actually suggesting to women if a male friend thought the boyfriend was gay, he was probobly correct)….and it went on and on about this, how men always are on target with their gaydar, while we women aren’t as able to discern as easily.
There were all sorts of other things…..left handedness, length of finger…..on and on and on…all sorts of BS, as cosmo. is ALWAYS filled with.
Happy Sunday!
