Yeah, back before my bike crashes, it was the dates with social workers that were the big running joke.
what is with the social worker dates? A good friend of mine is a social worker and she is quite nice, is she the exception or something?
Hey, I never said that they can't be nice - I just advise against dating them, unless you want to be seriously exasperated. The running joke was that they were generally neurotic as all get-out, and would suddenly decide that they hated me and couldn't talk to me anymore (or even correspond by email), but wouldn't tell me what I'd said or done wrong.
I know that this doesn't sound all that funny, but when it started happening so regularly that I could predict it right from when I first found out that my correspondent was a social worker, it actually did start getting pretty entertaining. I swear I wasn't pissing them off on purpose.
I find that the fact that they are supposed to be coaching people on how to live normal, well-adjusted lives adds a wonderful touch of comic irony to the whole situation.
So yeah, social workers aren't my type. Left-handed scientists, however . . . wow. Great times. Even though (or perhaps especially because) left-handed women are trouble.
