Sexual Harassment Panda!

[judecorp]

So I did that meme that's going around where you write the first sentence of the first post of every month of the year. It's kind of sad, actually.

January: Happy New Year, everyone!
February: Today I actually went and signed up for a gym membership at the gym I previewed.
March: Today was such a waste of a day, and because of that, I'm exhausted and lethargic for nothing.
April: Quota reached for the week.
May: Today I did something that I rarely do - I made plans with some coworkers.
June: We're in Rhode Island.
July: Leavin' work early (home by 2)
August: So I'm still sick.
September: I have to work until 5:00 tomorrow.
October: Geena Davis is on the television right now and I think she makes a darned good president.
November: Happy birthday, pantsie!
December: In other news, it's that time of year again to send out the holiday cards.

Almost every month begins with some sort of talk about work. In fact, I'd be willing to say that most of my posts have to do with work. (I was actually going to write about work tonight until I decided to do this and then figured maybe I should take a rest.) It's sad that I'm usually either wishing someone a happy something-or-other or else thinking about work. (Unless, of course, my dad is dying, in which case you have June.) I guess I /do/ spend a majority of my time and brainpower there, and I guess that's part of getting older, but dang, I need some non-work activities worth writing about. Life was more interesting when I was in school and had a million activities, social events, and other randomness.

I printed out a copy of one of thatpatti's pictures of us for my office (dang, there I go with work again!) so I would have an updated picture (the one that was in there before was from Niagara Falls) and so I could test out my new printer. The printer worked beautifully and the picture was also a huge hit with my coworkers. That's nice.

Oh, forget it, I'm just going to write about work. So yesterday during an assessment, one of my coworkers called me "sweetie." Like, "Let me borrow your pen. Thanks, sweetie," or something like that. And I said, "Sweetie?" and we both started laughing - me because it was funny and her because she was embarrassed. And the poor mom of the kid was just so entirely confused. So today she is reminding me that we are also doing an assessment together tomorrow and she says, "So I'll see you tomorrow, sweetie." It's especially funny because she's a 40-something divorcee mother of two who is incredibly man-crazy (talks about men, her lack of man, hot men, sex with men) ALL THE TIME. Now I shall have to tell everyone she has the hots for me.

The other funny thing at work is that we get toys/clothes for needy kids from this organization called Cradles to Crayons. Sometimes they send us whacked out stuff. I guess Coworker Funk got this bizarro hair-clip-holder for girls - it's like a stuffed doll's head on this long stuffed post with ribbons you can clip barrettes to. But it really looks like a head on a huge stuffed dong. So I've been calling the thing "Dildo Dolly" and placing her on random people's chairs. I also have no qualms about announcing exactly where Dildo Dolly is as loud as I possibly can throughout the office.

Time to call Sexual Harassment Panda!

Man, I bet you are awfully amusing to have as a co-worker.

I'd like to think so. I'm usually a big hit around the workplace.

I was recently nagged into agreeing that, at long last, I will start holding the game nights that I said I would.
because of the whole working thing.
Stephen Colbert on the Daily Show about the Oscars.
I need a good *free* (or at least not disabled so I can't save the tune) music creator.
I just found an old .sig of mine, from 1993, when I was 2 months past 22.
Some of you who have been involved in Toronto Freecycling might be interested in what I've managed to put together here, based on talking with a few people at Freecycle, and based on my own dealings with the whole mess for the last few months.
She even laughs at a joke made by Jon Stewart of "The Daily Show" -- that she could make a shiv, or small blade, out of a lamb shank.
The problem with this, really, is it didn't ask any of the *interesting* questions, that would lead to much more interesting thought processes.
because while I could see liking anyone else in the show (and I do), I have nothing in common with anyone else but maybe Raffi.
As mentioned a week or two ago, I'll be playing Scrabble at [info]metalana's for the Frontier College Foundation's drive for literacy,
ok. So here's the story.
only getting about 2/3rds of comments mailed to me.

Much more variety.

If you're worth your salt as a co-worker, when is it _not_ time to call Sexual Harrasment Panda?

An example, to a co-worker slapping the check-taker:

Me, in jest: "You don't have to hit it to make it work. It's not a _woman._"

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

D'oh!

If you weren't my friend, I would find that HELLA offensive!!

Ther are some straight women, I've noticed, who flirt with gay women as a weird half-joke thing. I don't know if that's what's happening here, just sayin'.

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I don't know if it's "safe flirting" or whatever. Actually, I think she's just kind of fond of me in a friendly sense. I get the feeling she calls people she likes little diminutives (which I don't really like, but hey, she's sure not the only one who ever does that) - I just like to call her on it and embarrass her. :)

Me too me too!

Also, I /love/ that new pic of you!
