You sneak that on the clock, or during a "potty break".
And no, I'm not joking.

Me: Nope, that's why I have you around to tell me.
Nitram: You -are- beautiful. Anyone tries to tell you otherwise kill them.

Silly Tev.

It's two hours.
I was actually going to guess two hours. Long enough to actually cook a meal for myself at home, walk my dog, maybe a little *ahem* quality time with my lady. You know, the way I got to live when I was a cab driver AKA: When I was happy with my life. Buddy of mine from high school teaches college in China for twenty years now (English and English Lit, of course). He says he loves it there. Dude's about 6'5", 120#, which is considered a lot more of a chick magnet there than at home for some reason.

I like Celine Dion myself. Her ballads alone....they make me go all teary-eyed and shit.
