So you all have made me quite happy today. It's early, I'm sitting at someone else's desk waiting for work to do. Temping kinda rocks if you have distraction and/or the ability to tune out (which I don't which is why I'm here). I feel like we've come to an understanding here.
PJS- women will always talk to each other when you're not looking, one of the beautiful aspects of being good communicators.
However, I will continue to put my 2 cents in, get in trouble, get bullied, have people mad at me, apologize, not apologize, look back at things, get apologies from others, have people shoot me down, try to embarrass me, or have people honour me and encourage me, put more 2 cents in, repeat. I promise!
But that's hard, and like it or not, harder for anyone that's not a straight white male. And especially hard in a space that is especially dominated by one type of person that isn't you. I try not to act specifically "like a woman" or "like a man" nor "white" nor "straight" or anything else. However, lots of what I am and the parts of me that I really like come specifically from things that are bred in me because of those traits, whether through nature or nurture.
So now that this is a friendlier more open thread can we get back to tales of bike-related sex and flirting? Bring this thread back up to the naughty heat it started with? I could tell you all about how Tramps gets when he wins an alleycat....or how about the first time I met SuperTed.... Or Agata, what was your favorite move of Chug_It's?
