I'm inappropriate. I've lost count of the number of times at work I have told someone that I needed "workforce sensitivity training." I think I've figured out that you can get away with it as long as you have a certain gleam in your eye and are quick with a laugh.
For instance, today coworker Dan was telling me that he drove some road from point A to point B that I know doesn't exist. I made him pull up GIS layers and we pored over maps and I insisted I was right and he was wrong. I asked him how long it took for him to make this drive that I knew would take hours (if that road existed, which it does not) and he scratched his head and came up with nothing. I said, "Gee whiz, Dan. Did your anus hurt when you came to?" Marisa popped over her cubicle and said "Dan's anus always hurts." (She might need the training, also.) Brian, the archae tech crew leader, came out of his cubicle and said, "All I heard was anus and ..." I am glad I work with a pretty good spirited group of individuals. Not everyone appreciates alien anal probe humor. - Jenny
I've found that too. - Son of Groucho
it's true, we are. - Big Joe Silenced
No wonder this group gets along so swimmingly. We folks who can't get inappropriate enough at work can fly that flag here instead. :D - That's So CAJ!
