Workplace shenanigans
Funny story from work today--
My desk is right up front in the reception area so i get to greet all the visitors/solicitors that come in. fun job. this afternoon, a man giving away/selling promotions for a new golf course that's opening up somewhere around here comes in. Below is an excerpt from our conversation.
mr. golfman: so do any of the guys here play golf? (as if women can't play)
me: mmm, not that I know of...
MG: are there any guys here you could ask, see if they're interested?
me: there aren't any guys here, they've all gone out to lunch or something.
MG: well I should work here then! (and proceeds to make some comment about the guys going out to lunch and leaving the women at the office. yeah dude, that'll make me more receptive to you!)
MG: does your husband play golf?
HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! me! married! do i look like i could be married?? i mean, i am a well-poised gal but seriously... i could have given him a dissertation on my relationship history, but i chose to simply chuckle and say "I'm not married."
Maybe i'm the only one who finds this outrageously funny but that's okay. i'm used to it!
okay, back to work.

I know you posted this like two years ago - but I have to agree with you on the whole married thing. I am also not married, and I got some mail the other day addressed to Mrs. Riddell - I wasnt aware there was a Mrs. Riddell. Anyways, I do feel your pain.
