Episode 131: Outliers

Outline
08:27 - I have a coworker who has a language issue. He seems to think the phrase "blow my load" means the same as the phrase "blow my top". He uses it frequently to describe when he feels angry. Needless to say, we all find this hilarious, but I don't want him to hurt his career in the use of this phrase. Should I ruin this beautiful situation by telling him, or keep it a secret until he gets old? -- Amused In New Orleans

He's already a ginger tom-cat but all it would require would be some large cheek implants and he would be the pitting image of Garfield. What would this sort of surgery cost?"

19:05 - My husband often makes plan that include me and are at our house, but doesn't let me know of said plans. I always find out my/our weekend plans from one of our friends. It's not that I don't want these plans to happen, and I don't need or want him to feel like he has to ask me permission to arrange plans, but it would be nice to know from him (not a third party) what my weekend plans are? How do I approach this gently? -- Uninformed In Indianapolis

39:10 - About three months ago me and my best friend started dating. Since we're both a part of a small community of mutual friends and colleagues who love to gossip, we kept our relationship secret. But now that we're serious I feel silly having to keep my distance from my boyfriend when I'm out in public, and my friends trying to set me up with guys since they think I'm still single. How can I convince my boyfriend it's time to go public, and how can I break the news to this small community without it becoming dramatic gossip. -- Mary In Illinois
