I go on call Wednesday. I apologize for anything uncouth that I may post.

This is a daily post for “casual” conversation. If you want to post or talk about something non autism related this is where to do it. For example if you want to info dump about your special interest but it doesn’t fall into “autism related” then you can post it here in the comments. All other rules are still active, be respectful to each other.

I met a dude at the auto parts store. (I’m a straight man). We chatted for a long time. He offered to be my friend, since I am new to the area. It is very difficult to make friends at my age. I said I would hit him up on Facebook (I know, but that was the easiest thing.) He didn’t have a friend button on his profile. I messaged him and let him know. He said that was weird, and he would check it out. Never heard anything after that.

I was on-call all last week and didn't get any time off before this workweek started. I'm exhausted and cranky, gonna do some self-care after work today.
