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.
How did office workers ever manage to look busy before computers?
I swear they just didn't bother. I distinctly remember being at my father's office one time when I was little and everyone was like sitting around chatting, talking on the phone, etc., etc.

When my old boss(pre-old evil boss) was a secretary, she would Xerox Copy novels and type them on her typewriter!
She also used to type lists of songs, or of her grammar school teachers, etc.
What she did that was kind of weird was that even as boss, she would count the number of people with the same last name in the phone book and type up the lists! This was out University phone booke, not the one for the outside world.

I don't think Sophia's old boss was bored. Sounds like she was crazy.
Talked to my boss.
Me: "I don't think she's happy with me."
Boss: "Who's heading up the project?"
Me: "*CrazyLady'sName*."
Boss: " t phbbbbt Her? She's crazy."
Soooo, I think it's obvious that Dana's project lead is Sophia's old boss. The whole puzzle is coming together.

She was, a little, but one of my better bosses.
Unrelatedly, one of the funniest videos I've ever seen.
Dear god. I hurt myself.
Lord, that was some good funny, that was.
So, on the video of nasty-ass Bush groping the German chancellor, I have a question. I showed it to my co-workers, and as I was doing my flail-y chair dance of "Ick nasty nasty ick ick ick," Chatty!co-worker said that Bush's groping wasn't a sexual thing.
I disagreed, and said that adult men who have grown up and live in Western society are damn well aware of the connotations of touching a woman like that.
He told me that was a broad, sweeping generalization, and that it was a sexist (actually, he used the term "misandrist") statement.
Question(s): (1) Do you think that Bush's grope-y gropiness was sexual in any way? (2) Do you think that, in general, adult men in Western society are aware of the connotations of touching women? (3) How was my statement sexist?
actually, he used the term "misandrist"
Whack him with a stick. (Tell him a man told you to.)
(1) Do you think that Bush's grope-y gropiness was sexual in any way?
I haven't seen the video (just a still) but people have said it was one of those deals where it's sexual but the guy pretends it's not, in order to have plausible deniability.
eta: or did I read that here? I don't remember....
