A Life Examined

A Middle Manager on the Art of Seduction

You have to be patient, my boy. The hottest fire is one that builds over time. Say a new girl comes into the admin pool, and you can’t believe how tight she is. You want to beat through the door to the pen where she sits and holler that you have to have her right then and there or your soul will be crushed like a tin can under a dump truck’s tire. Wait, instead. Over the years you may see that she’s sleeping with some of the young guys, like that bodybuilder in finance. She may marry a vice president for a while. But your love will grow hotter. Don’t let it burn out. Keep it alive. Then, one day, she’ll be older. She’ll be divorced. She’ll still be in the pool. Maybe she’s gotten a little wider in the backside from sitting on a rotating chair all these years. But now she’ll be able to appreciate you. You want that. Just wait. Maybe ten years or so. Focus on your 401K while you wait.

The Stoneslide Corrective is dead. Long live The Stoneslide.

 

Stoneslide has been reborn. We’ve shaken the dark ash off of our feathers, and we are resplendent once again. But we’re now at thestoneslide.com. This site will remain as an archive of The Stoneslide Corrective.

Thank you for reading. Check out the new plumage at thestoneslide.com.

Back Stoneslide today!

We’re running a Kickstarter campaign to help us produce our first print edition. You can support everything Stoneslide does and get your own copy of a beautiful, new magazine.

Go on, you know you want to give us a kick!
