Snark in the office

At least once a week, a coworker, vendor or customer says to me, “Oh you’re so lucky to work upstairs with all the women.”Â The first time it happened, I was taken aback.Â It had never occurred to me think working with women was in any way different than working with men.Â

However, it has become such a common place experience, I’ve developped a stock answer:Â “Well, Tom (or Bill or Kevin or Scott), they don’t work topless you know.”

Thus far, only one person has succesfully responded in English:Â “Well they sometimes wear tight sweaters.”

Share and Enjoy:

And speaking of office romance, this is what the Decider let slip today re Afghanistan:

“I must say, I’m a little envious,” Bush said. “If I were slightly younger and not employed here, I think it would be a fantastic experience to be on the front lines of helping this young democracy succeed.”

“It must be exciting for you … in some ways romantic, in some ways, you know, confronting danger. You’re really making history, and thanks,” Bush said.

No matter our orientation we all bring a certain orientational naivete’ into all social and work environ situations.

What a mine field. Your replies if overheard by the wrong “person” could constitute sexual harassment! Or as a male of your orientation are you deemed immune from such things?
