Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well, it's not an Indian restaurant, right? It looks like a generic vegetarian restaurant with some Indian, some other stuff.

Someone needs to back away from the burger chains...

Yeah, Cosmic is strictly vegetarian, with mostly Indian food. It's the only thing near though.

Why do people assume I know everyone who works in my building and instantly know every department just because I have a cube next to the door?

The same reason they assume that you need to stop typing/talking on the phone/working to help them. Sitting near the door=de facto receptionist.

I think there's a gendered assumption at work as well. Which, you know, @@.

Y'know what Nora? I didn't think about that, but you may be right.

I think I just got a tiny bit more irritated.

Well, if we don't get another receptionist soon, I'm going to start flipping out like a mammal.

I am taking a gender issues class- I see the world in gender-colored glasses now!

It's crazy.

It cracked me up, when I came for my job interview here, at an organization that's mostly women, that there was a man at the front desk. Turns out he's not the regular receptionist, but still!
