Meetings: Where the hell do you put your eyes

MonkeyMonster

Brainstorming session... no its offensive to epileptics, lets have an idea shower instead.

DDD - the simple solution is to GROW UP and treat your colleague as just that - she's a colleague. We all take a look from time to time, but FFS. Suggest in future you think about Maggie Thatcher, naked, taking a dump when you're in a room with her. Or hold the meeting with a desk between you.

Does growing up mean not getting myself hot and bothered when a pair of superb legs, smooth as they are long, in steel heels find themselves in front of me? Does growing up mean not feeling odd when said feet slip genetly from shoe and point towards me almost inviting me to nibble. And does growing up mean not enjoying the odd fantasy about being forced to work late by the rigid, conservative hair up, thick rimmed glasses, battle axe pencil skirted boss who is strict and evil until circumstance has me feeding her a length as she clings desperately to the desk with one hand while seperating my flesh with the nails on her other hand.

Because if growing up means not sharing the enjoyment of that with my fellow man/person, then I'm not interested in growing up. The alternative is so much more enjoyable.

Secondly I don't think that in a World where all these fantasies, clothing and antics exist growing up has anything to do with it. We're all children at heart and someones child at least.

All fine and dandy IN YOUR HEAD! No need to inflict your 'Secretary' fantasies on us though.

Baa baa sheep of irrelevant outer colouring,
Have you any fibres shamelessly exploited in the Imperialism of the Industrial Revolution,
Yes person of equal social standing, yes person of equal social standing,
Three biodegradeable containers full.
One for the bourgeois so-called Master-member of the ruling class,
One for his emotionally oppressed civil partner in a monogamous relationship,
And one for the child under the eye of Social Services,
Who lives in the perfectly respectable social housing on Nelson Mandela Avenue.

Is that so hard to remember?

Fun, was such a novel concept back in the 80s.

It sadly became extinct during the Politically Correct war of the mid-late 90s. The war was fought between two gender inclusive shades grey as not to offend any other colours of course. Religion wasn't discussed.

The slightly different shade of grey politically correct armies won. They outlawed the human ability to laugh at ones-self and changed the nursery rhyme of baa baa black sheep to baa baa any sheep as not to offend.

I laughed with you, we laughed with you SHE and THEY may not. I think you were OK until the fantasy bit.
Just saying, you have your own mind to use as you see fit.

SIlly PC example.....
Is it politically correct to ask a Rastafarian working on a food production line to cut off enough of their hair in order for it to fit in a hairnet? - Religous descrimination surely!
Is it politically correct to allow a Rastafarian to work on a food production line without all of their hair in a hairnet because it wont all fit? - How would you actually react to a piece of matted hair in your Chicken Tikka Masala ready meal :shock:
You have to choose, one or the other....... :?

Nah, I'm confusing nothing due to the fact that a couple of firms of Solicitors earned pretty good money arguing it out at an employment tribunal. Incidentely the tribunal found in favour of the Rasta' having to have all their hair in the hairnet or be excluded from the job. The reason for the finding; Rasterfarianism was (is) not a recognised religion in this country :roll: Reason played absolutely no part in it.

Uh huh, reason won out. If Rastafarianism was recognised as a religion I should hope the ruling would be that they'd have to place him in a role that didn't compromise health and safety, rather than being able to fire him.

This female target fixation thing would be awesome on the golf course - just have a few buxom beauties loitering around the green on a long par 5 - we would all be looking at an eagle.

I somehow doubt I'd notice the eagle with those buxom beauties there.

I'm sure there's a "horny ornithologist" joke in there somewhere too.

DDD, if you need to cool down you should come and work with me for a bit. 90% male, the remaining 10% are nothing to write home about it and we're all dressed head to toe in up to 6 layers of goretex, fleece, cargos and steelies....

While I'll notice low tops and what not, hell I'm one of those weird men who notice haircuts and so on.

I'm the only man at work, so to be honest while they are all attractive ladies, I don't want to be put in a position, that I see anything.

And to be honest I've not only seen it all before but have cleaned it all.

If you think it would be an interesting read you need to get to the library more
I am pretty sure it was not reported but it occured on a site in Spalding, Lincs that was (is) part of a large national food producer. Rasta was asked to cut hair or work in another, lower paid, part of the business that did not require hairnet use. Claimed religous descrinination as part of his rastafarian religion was the wearing of dreadlocks. At the same time a Sikh was allowed dispensation from wearing a hairnet whilst wearing a full turban (although had to wear a beard snood) which the Plaintifs solicitors burned lots of money taking out of context.

In a previous job, one of the secretaries went into the pornography industry....she was pretty and curvy, again, beating off the drooling geeks.

I also worked in a "film production" offices in Burbank, California. This was a brief 1 month stint to earn some cash as I was travelling at the time, having a year out. The films they produced were "culturally stimulating". Suffice to say, I met many a starlet in those offices and still keep in touch with a couple of girls, the girls I know have now retired from the industry and now have families - well, one has a family and the other is now married. Some of those girls were some of the sweetest and most generous people I have ever met (no pun intended!). However, the whole point of the office was to assess look and "feel" for the movie....so, being PC was completely blown out of the water!

Unfortunately I did not see much, generally closed sets and so on to retain "dignity"....I just drove a van about and carried equipment, also drove some of the staff about as a chauffeur.

It's a common known fact that if you are stuck on an island with a woman you are not attracted to, by the end of the week (or longer depending on the level of repulsion) all you can think about is giving her the ol'heave'ho.

There are some women who are the exception and you can never find them attractive. Usually these are ones with poor genes and natural selection/survival of the fittest really needs to get its act together.

The two above paragraphs also apply to work. When at work, you aren't comparing the women there with all the other women you know in the World. You're just comparing them against each other (an immediate point of reference). So even though you have a relative poor selection at work (and the manager really needs to get his natural selection/survival of the fittest act together) compared within its own continuity ugly suddenly becomes fit when compared with an immediate greater form of ugly.

I.e. 'The fittest burd in the building' isn't necessarily fit outside the building. But fit nontheless.

I bet on those needy days you've compared which burd-bum looks better in cargos and who 'fills out the fleece' the best. You can't escape it, the World has to spin.

I think you've just called your manager ugly, at least by the standards of the outside world. You really had better hope no one at work reads this, if it wasn't bad enough already......!

There is a hell of a lot of difference between doing personal care for someone you have no interest in sexually and thinking carnal thoughts about someone you do find sexually attractive. If those lines are blurred, you need help.

EKE_38BPM

I once had a manager who had a fantastic pair of chest puppies and always wore very low cut tops, but I could not stand her as a person. Even still, its was hard work looking her in the eye when talking to her.

Women have evolved unnecessarily large fun bags because men look at them. Male Baboons look at female Baboon's brightly coloured behinds. When we started walking upright, females needed something to keep their attention and big bristols took the role.

Women in the workplace can be really cruel to men. They can dress in a way that says "Look at me, don't I look great!" and then say, "Oi, stop looking at me like that!"

no blurred lines just tired blurred posting!

My job is all about people I need to get along with all sorts of folk, so checking my work collages cleavages out isn't on at all.

the 2nd point is that personal care will get one quickly used to naked bodies.

dunno I've while I enjoy summer in the park and low cut tops, I take care not to see any ones at work.

EKE_38BPM

You may take care to, but accidents happen (especially if they are smuggling peanuts).
