Maybe it was the rose perfume I was wearing at the Mines today, or just a really good hair day...but strangers and bare acquaintances were insisting on touching me. And me without any sharp pokey things to poke with...

First there was one cow-irker, then another, then a docent and finally a patron or two. It was mostly patting my shoulder or touching my elbow gently, but one was describing another co-worker with long hair by trying to touch my back. I managed to sidle off a little and gave the over-the-glasses disapproving look. (I learned it from Shamu. Nobody shows disapproval quite like a rabbit.) I dunno, Maybe it's just the dark coldness of winter or something that's making people crave human contact, and I'm rosy-cheeked and approachable-looking...or at least look like someone who won't try to judo-chop them too hard if they try. Alas, while wearing my polyester finery, the judo-chopping is not allowable, but I should practice my disapproving stare until I can make things melt by looking at them hard enough...

Hey, watch the hand there! My elbow, not yours!
*slaps wrist*

>>That made me smile.

I love that song so much...If I had theme music, that would have been what I wanted to play yesterday, all day long.

Did I tell you about the time a (female) co-worker slapped me on the ass? Awk-ward!

Yikes!! Why oh why would someone want to bring butt-drama to work like that?!?

(Okay, that was just an excuse to say, "Butt Drama." I am a crass, crass thing. Heehee. Butt.)

It would have been hilarious if it weren't so inappropriate. She slapped my ass, and then laughed and said she was the only one there (at work) who could get away with that. She was, in fact, one of my better friends at that job, but I've never been into friendly ass-slapping, much less in the workplace.

My response (borderline-sputtering): "You can't do that! You can get FIRED for that! Don't DO that!"

And no more was ever said...or slapped. :P
