The other day the UPS guy dropped off some office supplies. Of course, the guy was tall, tanned and still wearing those sexy brown shorts even in October. Hey, I may be married, but I'm not dead!
I guess he knows my boss as he came out and said hello to the UPS guy and they started up a quick chat. Apparently, the UPS guy lives closeby to where my boss's daughter recently got a townhouse apartment. They started discussing all the recent growth in the area (I work in a growing country bedroom community, that is starting to get over-populated). He also asked the guy if he knows so-and-so who have a couple of sprogs.
Just a quick bit of back story here...
I work for an accountant. It's just me and him. He's a bit on the older side, so I know that I really don't have any long-term job security, but I like the work, it's quiet, and noone bugs me for the most part. But my boss is definitely a republican, and I have somewhat left leanings on a lot of things (gay rights, pro-choice, freedom of/from religion, etc). One day my boss gave me something he printed from an email he got about how the European population is slowing and being taken over by Sharia muslims. He handed it to me and said "Here, you're a liberal. This should really piss you off". I read it and it basically said I need to start breeding to keep the population balanced (read: white, intelligent people need to have more babies). And he KNOWS that DH and I are holding on by a shoestring. I even said to him "Are you trying to tell me to get knocked up? How the hell am I supposed to pay for childcare?" His answer was "The government". I was appalled. I told him in no uncertain terms that I may be a bit liberal and drink flavored coffees, but I am NOT having a kid just to get the tax credit. Besides, who is going to "mind the store" while I am on maternity leave? It's not like there's anyone else here to do my job, and I can't see him paying me and a temp while I would be off. I don't get it.
Okay, now that the back story is out of the way, my boss then says to hot UPS guy, "Do you play with so and so's kids?" The UPS guy replied, "I stay as far away as possible". Boss then says, "Oh, well, when are you going to have your own?" UPS guy replies, "Never."
I nearly dropped the full box of copier paper on my toes when he said that.
If I wasn't married (and I didn't see a ring on UPS guy's hand), I'd have been all over that like white on rice.
