[...] Last week one of the girls at work was commenting that the youngest member of our team will soon be turning 20. Then she went on to remark that she was old enough to be his mother and I was old enough to by his grandmother. I know I have joked in the past that I am old enough to be his mother (which I am) but the figures don’t add up to turn that into grandmother status.

It is mostly women in my office, but I work on a section that is all men apart from me. When the girls start with the claws I just switch off, I am not into that sort of thing at all. Thankfully none of the girls that sit near me behave like that.

Girls in offices. I’m glad I left all that behind years ago. It was worse when I worked in a three woman office and one went to lunch or was off for some reason. You can imagine what happened! Yep, claws out!

Sure your work mates are not like that though.

It is supposed to get to minus 10 with us tonight!!!

I think they were just being thoughtless rather than anything else.

Good description of just how hazardous getting to work can be in such conditions. I remember ‘em well. Hope you continue to cope as well as this.
And if you’re not at that party – well, who is ?
