dude, your post above is full of insults and an implied conditional statement in the apology.

try something like this

I'm sorry I offended y'all. I did not mean to imply that workplaces run only by women suck for men.

Dang do you think that you two can stand up to all the men in the company who know the truth?

Whoops, I meant to say, "Do you think you can confront all the pathetic losers in the company who can deal with women in positions of authority--or in any postitions beyond supine--without having some sort of charges pressed?"

I can see it now.

You are under arrest for 6 counts of flaunting testosterone to the testosterone deprived, 8 counts of role modeling and 23 counts of acting like reasonable human beings.

Fishy, sometimes testosterone is helpful... sometimes it is not... now... which do you think Heli and I would be?.... hmmmmmmm?

Fuck, first work annoyance of the day:

on my way to work (as it turns out, there was no work, day off, oh yeah!), I have this Biach swiftly drift into my lane forcing me to make some fairly dangerous moves on the Golden Gate Bridge, which by the way has no center divide. I correct my vehicle and pull along side the Biach who happens to be driving a fucking way to large for the road SUV, toot my horn a couple of times, point to my eyes when he finally looks over and then threw him a questioning shrug.

He then promoted himself to a motherfucker by flipping me off and laughing with a snide fucked up look.

I am not a violent person but, fuckheads like that are everywhere! I wonder, where IS my snapping point?

six and a wake-up for me...

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!

i think a coworker just tried to ask me out. he kind of did the whole 'pass it off as a joke' technique.

gak!

in the process i seem to have stumbled across some drama involving him and another coworker that i had no idea about. um, can we say tmi? (ok, so i'm kinda curious now.) Do these people not realise what an utter disaster it would be if i mixed with them on that level at this point? I tried to explain that we're all freaks, us artist types, and that this work persona is all a ruse...

ok, god, just kill me. i HATE it when people ask me out at work. thank god it doesn't happen as much as it used to here. *shudder*

Has you ever wondered just how much they are faking it as well? I mean, are people really that, for lack of a better term, wholesome and normal? Maybe they want to reach that "other" place of artsiness, but don't feel that they have social permission,, not being designated as an artist themselves.

But otherwise: Ick!!!

Rian Jackson · Post by **Rian Jackson** » Thu Jan 20, 2005 3:25 pm

except, i might add, when you know you're quitting soon. THAT works out ok.

but, yeah.. i learned that lesson properly, for long term jobs. too bad not everyone else has.

Well... I still don't think I would around here, unless I first drove a spike through my brain and dropped my IQ about fifty points... maybe then....

trust me, there are few people here that wouldn't be appalled by me. i'm pretty damn sure.

i had a hunch this was coming. this is one of the 'entertain me' boys. very, very sweet man. but regardless, no thanks.

i'm so glad that doesn't happen much here anymore.

discussing this whole thing with Coworker he says that he knew i was a freak a long time ago, before we really knew each other.

now i'm really scared.

he then came back and said that his perception of me did change - he just came to his senses.

well, if this person were my boss, i could have used him to further Villainous Schemes. But it doesn't look like it's gonna work.

Samtzu- an important distinction- by "mostly I just came to my senses", I do NOT mean that "I came mostly to my senses"! If I had, I wouldn't be spending nearly this much time with such a freak. No, I haven't come that much to my senses.

In other words, I got a little less crazy (and my perception evolved), but that doesn't mean I'm sane.

But I had a good idea of what kind of freak she was, long before I got sucked into that wild swirling vortex.

of course he is! he wouldn't be fulfilling his christian duty if he wasn't 'one' with the father, son, holy ghost, and some girlie.
