Bump in the road

[Teri Jean]

Today was a full day of very hands of physical work, moving snow from the roof of the basketball arena. It is a whole nother story. My supervisor has been totally supportive of my transitioning as well as a supportive supervisor all the way around. Anyway he had arranged for the whole crew working in shifts, two hours each in two man shifts, to remove the amount of snow.

After a five hour shift the one person who is going to be the problem child said to me I definately did not dress appropriately for work. I was thinking since he feels jeans and sweatshirt is not apropriate maybe I should come to work in a skirt and blouse tomorrow.

Some days it seems I am surrounded by knuckle dragging nimrods. :Angry3:

Did you forget the boots today, if you did wear heels with the skirt.

[CharleneT]

I think a jeans mini-skirt, hose, heels and a flouncy blouse are the only things you should have even considered !!!

Nimrod hardly covers it ( yes, I meant "it" )

sorry to hear it, but at least you knew it was likely coming !

I hope it was at least light weight snow ? !!!!

Maybe that you weren't wearing a skirt and blouse was what he was alluding to as in inappropriate dress..................... for a girl ??? :heehee:

I keep telling you Terri... for snow removal you need to wear your LBD. Get with the program girl.:eek:

Or maybe it was the peep-toe shoes? They really are a bit inappropriate for shoveling snow in.

Girls this has been more fun than you know. Pam knows this to be true when I say if I wore my mini skirt I would not get it even damp up to 30 inches of snow. Vertically gifted. LOL My co-worker caught me in a bitchy moment and he is lucky I didn't B-slap him for being a knuckle dragger. Moron!

I did think it would be fun to bring the dress for the party this week to work and then walk in on him during his lunch period and ask when he would be free for this evening. That would fix his butt.

Terri, dear, poise and demeanor. Those are your armour against the knuckle draggers. The problems of the problem child are the problems of the problem child. Ignore it. and him. And my two cents... I can't bring myself to wear a long skirt on a cold day... let alone a mini skirt in the snow! You northern girls must have anti freeze in your blood. brrrrrr. But I can comiserate a little about the problem child. I have a co worker that a year after announcing my transition and my new name, he still gets it wrong when he gets distracted or busy. After a year I'm getting a little offended. A Little???Carol

Tights are wonderful for this very reason and if you need to double layer it! :D I love the feel of fluffy tights my GG friend got me for winter as a gag gift cause I complain about my socks not being warm and long enough 2 years ago before i told them.

But yeah Ignore the ignorant, most of the time they have nothing good to say anyways so why bother listening to their opinions. After all opinions are like A holes, every body got one.

Moron's! I'm surrounded by Moron's, I think there's a movie in there some where

[Teri Jean]

Carol, that anti-freeze is not the cheap stuf you buy by the gallon but by the liter. E&J VSOP. Neat or on the rocks or with a spash of water, put your feet up and reach for the crackers and cheese. LOL

As far as a movie it would have to be sold as fiction as no one would believe this person is real and still has a job.

Although I would like to do the skirt and tights it may be inappropriate and work off a ladder. Then again.......................... :-) I can see the news letter for the department. "For all those who wish to wear skirts to work, yada yada." LOL Okay so it would be just me, I get it. A girl can dream.
