But if you want the truth...

Yesterday, my boss discovered that I hate some words. He threw out a word that I hate and many people are fine with, and when I crumpled on the floor, rocking back and forth like an autistic child (is anyone surprised with that?), that's when he apologized.

But shortly thereafter, he started "testing" words - saying one and waiting for the same great response. He didn't hit any others, but I warned him that if he kept on playing that game I was not above walking out of the office and never coming back. No one doubted that, for some reason.

Even though they know so little about me, they can tell when I'm dead serious.

Today at work, I'm not sure how we got on the subject, but all of the sudden my friend and co-worker states that she thinks so-and-so's problem is that he/she doesn't get enough sex. Though I was trying to write an email to a student, I couldn't help but hear that, and laugh.

What else can you do?!

Another person in the office disagreed that said person didn't get enough - but did my co-worker mean frequency or number of partners.

I was in shock. Where are we again?

Topics in my office range from pets, family issues, road rules, LOST, movies, people, etc. The list could go on forever. But I wasn't prepared for this one.

Then, my dear friend says, "Actually, I think it's Lana who isn't getting enough sex." And the person with whom my co-worker was talking said, "Now that I'd believe."

Did I ask for my sex-assessment today? Wasn't aware I'd be facing that when I got up this morning, or maybe I wouldn't have left the house.

Oh Place that I work...You are so crazy!

I laughed so hard my eyes became MOIST with tears.

haha very nice usage of the one word that Lana would probably kill over. I've learned my lesson. You'll never hear me use the word MOIST around her again. No ma'am.
