When co-workers ask how your girlfriend![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
aquariumgirl is doing. (Can I please just kvell for a moment about how much I love the fact that non-traditional relationships seem to be such a completely normal thing here? I appreciate that so much about my workplace.)
Getting back the brochure you've worked on for weeks with minimal corrections (a comma instead of a semi-colon-which I disagree with, but grammar is not something worth arguing with management on) a correction to a funders name, and a could you put one sentence in that says this?)
Not Nice:
Taking on a big project for next week that I shouldn't have. (I'm going to be the lead person on the testing day we're doing at a local university for next week.)
Staff meetings that go on for ever and ever (even if they do provide interesting learning experiences)
Silly:
Co-worker looking through the CDs in my desk, which also happens to contain the pharmacy (Tylenol, Tums, Tampons and deodorant.) Seeing the label on the deodorant "Kiss My Face" and teasing me about keeping a bottle of lube in my desk.)
And I think if something doesn't happen at the CDC soon, I'm going to go nuts.

Re: ummm ...
Date: 2003-09-29 04:49 pm (UTC)I have an office job, which also requires that I spend time at sites away from my office. Sometimes I'm in and out of the office, sometimes I'm out in the field most of the day and feel skunky when I get back. Hanging around in a school gym, no a/c in the middle of the summer for a couple of hours can leave you feeling kind of yucky.
I also keep two spare pairs of pantyhose around-one in black and one in beige....just in case I get a run in the pair I'm wearing. I also have a toothbrush and toothpaste, and contact lens stuff.
Basically, it sucks to be a girl sometimes.
