GOLDdigger

I love hanging out with my friends, especially when they're so overjoyed to share their stories with me (haha..to the delight of one amused girlfriend..but even she laughs at the end and which he says he feels comfortable with me that no matter what he says in my presence I will not think more or less of him)...to which I will share a story about the difference of working in a cubicle versus an office...(I even got some help with the wording from the subject b/c this story deserves it!)

For guys, I guess they feel they can be quite "au natural" in their work environments, especially if they work in an office. Your space can be your sanctuary and you do things in there where you think no one will see/hear/smell...yeah, you get the idea. This is where you can find the guy being pretty comfortable doing what they do best. However, taking the subject away from his confined (door closed) environment into a space where it is shared with other individuals of both sexes, does not necessarily mean that the guy will always remember that the walls are only partitions and there is no door for one to knock on when they walk over to you. So while he was working away on his computer, he felt the need to ...er..clear his nose of debris. It took him more than a few tries, and he clearly tried digging for some gold...(his words were more along the lines of "working it"!) When he was finally successful, he looked at his "pot of gold" on the tip of his finger, and then flicked it off into never never land....at that point in time, he noticed that he was not alone. His new associate was standing directly behind him and mostly watched the last 20 seconds in stunned silence. First reaction the guy had was shock, followed with being flustered and then berated the associate for not doing his work. The guy felt bad for snapping at the associate but was embarrassed for being caught at such a natural habit for him (haha). The story is not over...another new associate came by to introduce herself to the guy, and of course, hands need to be shaken. Obviously, there was no time to wash his hands or use hand sanitizer.

Yes...stories until tears form because I was laughing THAT hard! LOVE IT!
P.S. Please do not shake his hand if you're ever to meet him...cuz you never know! ;)

Folks, the only reason we laugh is because we can all relate. Think about it...you know you do it....we all do....

i tend to think that most girls are not so uninhibited in work space environments...but it was the dramatic fashion in which you performed which makes it so memorable!
