Office Foibles

Blergh. I just had one of the worst conversations ever with my boss. I’m never the friendly girl everyone wants to hang around with in the office — and I like that. I do join in on office drinks and whatnot some times, but officemates to me, aren’t supposed to be your friends — they’re there to help you out when it comes to office business, but besides that, I like having a clear dichotomy of my professional life and my personal life.

Apparently, the other day, on one of my worst days, the wrong person heard me order another officemate around, and probably took it as some sort of office offense. There’s no official reprimand for workplace mean-ness, but then again, you have to command it.

In the office though, it’s a whole different jungle — you have a boss, and your bosses have boss. While some people work under me, I still defer to a higher authority — and that’s part of the reasons why I can’t befriend work people — in as much as it is easy to let your guard down on them, they’re still your colleagues, and demand more respect than your average girl friend. Lesson learned? Watch what you say — even to the point of faking it … being angry doesn’t really solve anything — it’s just a huge waste of energy.

Anybody else go through things like this?

3 Dangerous Objects In A Girl’s Purse

“The female of the species is much more dangerous than the male,” at least that’s what a song says. We already know how much a girl can hurt you after a break-up (or during a relationship! Haha!) and there’s no need to veer towards that.

Notice the everyday office type — wearing heels that make her calves pop out, dressed in a suit that hides her girlier features, and carrying a purse. Take note, a normal girl-purse. Did you know that the stuff inside a girl’s purse is lethal? That normal-looking office-type you were staring at? She’s really actually packing! She lugs around a variety of objects that are dangerous both to her, and to others! Really!

Eyecurler / Eyeliner – I have a friend who’s deathly afraid of the eyecurler. When asked why, he said … “it curls … the eyes!” Well, yeah, plus they accentuate whatever theme you have going on for the day. The thing is, one curls the eye, and one’s essentially a pencil FOR the eye. How scary is that?

Dental floss – If she’s a girl who values oral hygiene, she doesn’t have killer breath, but she has killer equipment. There’ve been news about toothpaste and dental floss being used to cut down steel bars in prison. Think how durable that piece of wire can be as something to inhibit your breathing, Hitman 47 style.

Cosmetics! – Some cosmetics are just plain scary. When they’ve spent too long a time in someone’s purse, bag or make-up kit, the brushes contract bacterium upon bacterium! Remember that some of these stuff get absorbed in the blood stream.

How about the men on the net? What other items in your girl’s purse are you afraid of?
