I did that? Was i drinking?

Not that I remember-- but I totally remember it too!

In the workplace I just gossip about other women with the Lesbians

Wait, I wanna hear more about Not Afraid's hypocritical girl code LAMEness!

(none of this - sending your husband in to lesbo derail)

Well, since I don't remember but can surmise WHO it involved, I'm just going to keep encouraging hubby to talk about lesbians.

This is why I love having my own office. My contact is very minimal with others throughout the day. No drama in being alone, right? (plus, I like lounging on my couch to chat on the phone sometimes.

)

There is only one other female at my work, and she is part time. I absolutely love her & we've grown quite close. No backstabbing and drama. In fact, we always surprise each other with little gifts.

The rest of 'em are all men. I get along wonderfully with men! In my office, everything is spread out on the table and upfront. It has inspired me to be the same exact way.

My boss & I were having a conversation this morning that turned to sex (the conversation! Not with each other!!) Suddenly, he turned to me and said, "you were raised with all boys. weren't you?" To which I answered "yes" (I have 3 brothers). He then said, "your'e a rare breed" to which I answered, "is that a good or bad thing?". He was like, "It's the BEST thing!"

Heehee!

I'm a way frilly froo-froo girly, but not when I open my mouth. No drama, frank sex talk, straight-forward. This is the best office ever & the greatest job I've ever had. There's something to be said for that!

Not much dating drama in my library world. There may be some among the pages. They're mostly college students. As it is they get a lot of time in the sorting room to talk and listen to music. I think that encourages laziness more than intrigue, though. I haven't heard of anyone getting involved with coworkers - most of them have relationships in the outside world.

We're about 60/40 women to men overall, so that's not why. In the departments other than pages, we tend to be older and married. In my very subjective opinion, the library attracts mostly stable, settled people. We do get a lot of younger girls as clerks that eventually quit due to moving to follow their husband's job or pregnancy. It's a mostly conservative lot.

As for the Office style antics - most of that evaporated once the real job began. We scrape out moments to smile at each other, never mind gossip. (Though if a cute guy walks in to get a card, the talk goes on for days among us girls.)
