i've learned to be weary - verrrry weary - of dudes in the potential dating pool with job that require:

a. shift work

or

b. a uniform

six really unappealing words come to mind:

"you can take your lunch now."

reminds me of an old navy sales associate. or a janitor. or a mall security officer.

felons, on the other hand - especially recovering addicts - totally acceptable.
