'Unleashed'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
On the radio this morning, they were discussing the apparent trend to greet or say goodbye to a business associate with a hug or even air kiss. Have you seen this at work? Because I find it really unprofessional to do this with someone I don't know personally.
I've never heard of this, but would find it incredibly unsettling.
I do it with work people I know, like my boss when he comes to town. Well, not a kiss, but a hug.
My bad, Jen-- I forgot one ". Fixed now, I think.
Yeah, I just saw that - you fixed before I edited, sneaky person.

There is an article about this in today's NYTimes as well. They had a drawing of two people bonking heads. It made me laugh.
No one I work with better try to air kiss me.
Or, hypothetically, he's that plus one of your doctors. Actually, I don't feel bad, though. He's just too adorable and not really fluster-inducing, exactly. I bet 90% of his patients crush on him.
My Gyn is like that.
Yeah. Awkward.

Considering that about twenty minutes ago I was ready to take down a complete stranger for trying to high five me, I think I can say that if hugginess becomes de rigueur in the workplace, I'm going to end up unemployed in Greenland.
Google tells me that there's a National High Five Day coming up:
Yet again, I ask, what is wrong with people?
I enjoy giving and recieving hugs. But if anyone that's not my friend, family, SO or even someone I've been flirting with tries to hug me, I feel very uncomfortable. I had a couple people at my company Christmas party who'd had a bit too much to drink hug me or otherwise get a little too cozy with me and it gave me the wigguns.
Yeah, I'm not so much a hugger of acquaintances.
Well, but now you know if a woman is avoiding looking at you, it's because she has a mad crush on you. And is flustered.
Sure! That or she finds me repulsive.
My Gyn is like that.
Yeah. Awkward.
Perzactly. This is (mostly) why I've never had a male gyn before, but this one was a referral and is my gyn oncologist, so, you know. But, you know, right now my 78-y.o. mother and my lesbian sister also have crushes on him, so I feel pretty justified. (They met him in the hospital, lest you all think my family is weird(er) than it is). It's just... not quite as awkward for them.
