It just seems so exhausting to keep clenching. But perhaps it will make my ass perkier. He was not creepy in any other way, at least.

Omg my 3rd grade teacher used to do a bum-wiggle when he conducted us in music lessons. I distinctly remember him doing it to 'Memory' from Cats

Uh...in public - at work?? I'm not saying heavy people are ugly - far from it, just that they might be less vain! I'm sorry but people who show off at work tend to be, uh..."hot" in the conventional sense of the term.
So, hot women with dancer's legs are more likely be vain, as demonstrated by... masturbating during in a work meeting? I thought your first comment was pretty offensive (tent dress? bite me) but now I just think you are a very strange person with a weird view of women.
PS women who cross their legs and jiggle them during meetings are not masturbating, regardless of their size, dress preferences, or the shape of their legs, unless you work at Adam and Eve.

carl otm btw. I forgot to post how pissed off I was about the tent dresses bit. and weight/vanity correlation is just hilarious. I'll have you know I am +/-230 pounds and I look in the mirror ALL the time. And love what I see!

If you had an, um, normal body, you wouldn't jerk off in a work meeting. I mean, someone cruel might be there and make fun of you. I meant exactly the opposite of offense! If someone had a conventionally "hot" body, they might feel they could get away with it. I mean, it's obnoxious behavior, and who is going to take you to task if you're "hot"? No offense to women was intended.

Are you actually implying some people would consider mastubating in front of work mates AT ALL, and that it is because they are good looking? I mean.. what the hell?
Isn't being made fun of the last thing you'd be worrying about if you were trying to surreptitiously masturbate in public what is this conversation even

just to bring the tone up a bit, with ffm's description of the buttock-clenching teacher i had a bit of a brainfart and was imagining him with his arms behind him, one hand on each asscheek, rhythmically squeezing away. it was disturbing.

what do you do when you've asked someone politely and nicely to do something relatively easy and sensible that is part of their job, and they continually fuck it up, most likely due to just incompetence rather than intent? i seriously don't even know... it becomes embarrassing to the point that it's like each time i raise it it's as if i'm going HI YOU'RE THICK, regardless of the wording.

Boss: Can you see if there is a problem with Verizon? X says she didn't get any of my texts and I've double-checked the number. Me: That's her office number. B: I know, and now she's not getting them for some reason.
Sure enough, there were numerous outgoing texts to a landline in her history.

Coworker across from me talks all day long. Any word we say gets commented on for 2-3 minutes of stream of consciousness comments. She just spent two minutes talking about mushrooms she has in her fridge because another coworker complained that she forgot to put mushrooms in the soup she'd made.
This woman is training me to do my new job! She showed me how to create a purchase order and was searching for a name in a 'vendor number' field and got frustrated and started to vent to me. I tried to suggest we might find the name if we highlighted the venderNAME field rather than vendorNO and she got ranty and started talking about how 'that will screw everything up,' naturally I waited til she went to the printer and sure enough, the name is in the vendor name field. SHOCKING.6 weeks of training. YAY.

For real. But WHY? Things like what FFM talks about and shit my bosses fuck up problems that require VERY simple reasoning that has ultimately has nothing to do w/ computers. If that person were searching through papers for a vendor's, would she for it look in the space where vendors' numbers go?
If my boss were trying to access a folder of papers in a file cabinet, would she use the handle to open the drawer all the way, or would she notice that it had a hole in the side and pull documents out that way for years and years?

They're good enough analogies.
They work. This lady is nuts. Often pleasant, but I truly dislike when stressed people rage on others. Or dismiss me - a very tech savvy person - because I'm new to something they're good at. It's a computer problem lady, I got this.

Yes! Or when you show people how to copy files from a USB stick which appears as drive E to drive C, and that's fine, they remember that, they do it every few days with no problem. And a month later they put a new USB stick in and it appears as drive F and you say, OK, it's showing up as drive F in "My Computer" so you can just go into that and drag the files in the same way and they freeze up and tell you they don't know how and what the hell do you even mean because it's completely different.
I can't think of a work-related analogy for the analogy collection but uhh it's like they can't get the number 20 bus because they've only travelled on the number 15 bus before and the same concept of getting on the bus and saying their destination to the driver doesn't occur to them. Or something.

Kicked upstairs to management?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Dilbert_principle
companies tend to systematically promote their least-competent employees to management (generally middle management), in order to limit the amount of damage they are capable of doing.
