So at the luncheon for Jen, I handed her the gift from the office that I had wrapped myself (in pink and purple leopardskin paper, thank you very much). One of my coworkers, an older gentleman (60) asked if I had wrapped it myself, I said yes and he said "See, you are domestic."

OK, What!?!?

First, The "See..." part makes that sound like a continuation of a conversation, but I've never been a part of any conversation about my domesticity or lack there of...is it something being discussed upstairs?

Second, how is wrapping a gift considered "domestic?"

Third, countless things about women not needing to be domestic and is this really something unconscious for you about needing women to be domestic and in the kitchen and does it bother you that I'm both working and *gasp* single and not looking for a man and just GAH!!!

Ahem, sorry. Needless to say, the comment rubbed me in the wrong way.

My patience level is back up again. It probably doesn't hurt that it's payday and my check will include the HUGE July commissions.

Short Circuit was on last night. I forget how cute that movie is.

"What'll we do"
"I don't know about you, but I plan to scream and then run."
"Good idea."

"No shit! Where see shit?"

What can I say, I'm easily entertained.

Yipee!!!

Seen this a couple places and liked it so I thought I'd share:

A couple goes on vacation to a fishing resort in northern Minnesota. The husband likes to fish at the crack of dawn. The wife likes to read.

One morning the husband returns after several hours of fishing and decides to take a nap. Although not familiar with the lake, the wife decides to take the boat out. She motors out a short distance, anchors, and continues to read her book. Along comes a game warden in his boat. He pulls up alongside the woman and says, "Good morning Ma'am. What are you doing?"

Reading a book," she replies, (thinking "isn't that obvious?")

"You're in a restricted fishing area," he informs her.

"I'm sorry officer, but I'm not fishing, I'm reading."

"Yes, but you have all the equipment. I'll have to take you in and write you up."

"If you do that, I'll have to charge you with sexual assault," says the woman.

"But I haven't even touched you," says the game warden.

"That's true, but you have all the equipment."


MORAL: Never argue with a woman who reads. It's likely she can also think.

You know, my job's not half bad when nobody else is in the office and I can blast my music and be as goofy and hyper as I want. I think it even makes me more productive.
