Hi all,
Though I'd share an amusing incident that just happened at lunch in the mall close to the office. Now by way of background, my employer is not as decisive as Isha's is, still unable to even offer someone I can talk too capable of making a decision. So, in the mean time I'm advancing incrementally, adding something new each few days.. This has two benifits, it makes me feel more at ease, but most importantly by boss is so awkward about it, I'm now the last to be called into his office when the bad jobs get handed out.
So at the moment the attached pic gives a fair indication of how far I have come... Suit and tie but both hands all blinged up!!!
Now after eating lunch, this bloke (and I use that term in is most generic) comes over, points a my hand and says, "what's with the painted nails? You gay or something?"
"Sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not" I answer rising from the chair and advancing towards him... "but if you're keen, I can certainly arrange for a night in the watch-house for you with someone who definitely is!!! A cosy little cell for two!!" (And yes I've paraphrased the conversation a little, refining it for a more eloquant audience)
By now he's walking backwards into another table, hands held in front.... I got a few sorry' before he beat a hasty retreat...
Shame really... I would have liked to teach him a few manners and I would have got me out of a boring training session this afternoon.
