I agree with Robin (and presumably with you) that an individual's expression and overall attitude have a lot more to do with their attractiveness than how buff they might be.Lisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-54297462548023400062014-04-18T23:26:03.168-04:002014-04-18T23:26:03.168-04:00The office atmosphere in your excerpt definitely s...The office atmosphere in your excerpt definitely seems stressful, JP. It's easy to see how working out aggressively (maybe punching something inanimate) could relieve stress. I have a stepson in his 30s who was bullied as a child who was small for his age. Now he's a drummer who goes to the gym every day. He says he likes to "beat the shit out of things," but wants to avoid becoming an ass toward other people. When he goes shirtless in summer, I am always amazed. He looks like a Greek statue. Persistence clearly pays off.Jean Robertahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08805088081675965859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-14484996073437351422014-04-15T17:01:01.721-04:002014-04-15T17:01:01.721-04:00Corporate America has become the bane of individua...Corporate America has become the bane of individuality. I have never worked in that kind of environment but I have friends who do and their stories are sometimes quite sickening. If they do a quarter million in sales one month the company expects a million next month. Stress is a way of life for these people. At least in fiction you can give the guys a happy ending!JPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10305127219838784688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9156334464585894857.post-64380446476741900142014-04-15T12:50:23.258-04:002014-04-15T12:50:23.258-04:00That ad reminded me of the ones in back of the old...That ad reminded me of the ones in back of the old pulp magazines, with some bully kicking sand in a skinny guy's face. Usually, right in front of the guy's girlfriend. I always wondered why the girl would go out with the bully; or that the bully, in his own mind, would think that behavior would get him any action. Then I grew up.<br /><br />But the workplace attitude was particularly disturbing. My brother-in-law works at a high-tech place that has a 'Firing day" every month. Their policy is to fire the two people at the bottom of the profit scale, for no other reason. And, oh, did I mention that a worker can also be fired at any other time as well. The company says they'll end up with only the best performers that way. Now what's wrong with that picture?Daddy Xhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927663248424944119noreply@blogger.com
