Office fun

I just got back from my company's sexual harrassment seminar, where the person giving the seminar allowed people to go "ewwwww!" about the concept of same-sex harrassment. Oh, the irony! I should have pointed it out, but I didn't. I don't know why I didn't say anything; I'm already known for occasionally being an instigator over stuff like that. What's one more windmill tilted at? I'm disappointed with myself.

The seminar made me think about my days back in college, working at Mad Science, where the work environment was like Melrose Place. Every employee was harrassed and committed harrassment against some one else daily. We didn't really think anything of it at the time. Everybody was somewhere between 19 and 23 and really stupid (myself included). I'm so glad I'm not there anymore.
