Office politics. Yuck!

I can't complain all that much. I do like my job, and it can always be worse... I could still be teaching. lol

There is that. I would not actually mind it so much if it weren't for the female "wanna-be-men" deans! Guess that goes on just about everyplace nowdays though.

You know, speaking of office politics, I'm trying to figure something out right now myself. If it's an insult or something nice somebody tried to do.

On my birthday nobody was around and I didn't get any gifts. Everyone at work forgot about my birthday but the secretary remembered after the fact. So, yesterday, she brought me a gift. It's a denim dress. Thing is, it is a size 2XL. Uh, I wear like an 8 right now. The dress is new, still in a wrapper and she said she'd ordered it just for me. But, I can't for the life of me figure why she'd order me a 2XL. And she's about that size so I was thinking she might have gotten it for herself and then felt bad because everyone forgot and just given me that because she had it. But, she is known to be quite catty at times, so she coulda been thinkin' it was a gag gift. Not sure.

I'm perplexed... but laughing about it.
