"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.

You've been "getting ready" for two years.

She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.

Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

Boss called me in this morning told me she had been noticing I hadn’t been clocking out for lunch

Our time management system deducts 30mins automatically but if you want longer then you are supposed to clock out, I usually take between 45 & 50 mins and rarely bother to clock the extra 15-20 mins because to be perfectly honest I never thought anyone would notice

Im fairly new here and have been able to claim a basic level of ignorance claiming I thought it deducted an hour automatically , I do like my boss and she (did) like me

She’s said that this sort of thing is usually a disciplinary but as I am new she will give me the benefit of the doubt and let me off with a warning but I can tell she isn’t happy

I do feel quite bad because she is a easy going fair boss and I guess I was taking advantage

I don’t know now whether to just leave it there or own up apologise and try to clear the air ?

i should add Im on a temporary contract and I have a feeling I will need her goodwill in the not to distant future
 

"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"

She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.

Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.

The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.

Don't apologize. Don't admit fault. Claim ignorance and that you will do better next time. No need to paint your self into a corner and remove all doubt that you knew what you were doing.
 

"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"

You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.

Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.

Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.

Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Yeah, do what others say, don't mention it again. Don't bust your ass though. You just got a taste of craftily applied stick. Male managers are taught to do that to guilt you into going above and beyond and not pressing your workplace rights. Women don't need to be trained to do that, the stick comes naturally for them.
