Re: the posts on this thread, I am always happy to hear about the personal lives of my FRiends.

For myself, the first serious business I ran (and started) was practically an orgy of hard work, flirtation, sex, booze, bad jokes, teasing, free speech, political incorrectness...

I sure am glad it wasn’t during these stifling, sad “Me Too” years.

I still have the big $5000 full grain Bloomingdale’s leather couch from the salon, with a perceptible - and memorable - stain here and there.

Nobody had more fun at work than we did.

My first job in IT support was much the same. I worked at a startup, and the employees were quite close, and the conversations could get quite loud and raunchy.

One day as we were leaving for lunch, a travel agent from the business next door was also leaving, looked at us, and said, "Don't you people ever go to Church?!?!"

There were 2 women working there (there were 8 of us at the time,) and the receptionist had a sign posted on her desk, "Sexual Harassment will not be reported to management. It will however, be graded."

I do miss the days when you didn't have to evaluate everything you say multiple times before saying it.
