I was asked some ignorant a** questions by staff like:
- why are you flying coach? HELLO, THE GOVERNMENT IS PAYING
- why not fly first class? HELLO, AGAIN THE GOVERNMENT IS PAYING
- why is the per diem so much? HAVE YOU EVER CHECKED THE EXCHANGE RATE OF THE EURO
- are you scared to go by yourself? HAVE YOU EVER READ MY RESUME, I HAVE DONE THIS BEFORE
- where is Belgium? WHAT GRADE DID YOU GET IN GEOGRAPHY, GOOGLE IT FOR CRYING OUT LOUD
Don't get me wrong, I am grateful for the opportunity to travel but it just doesn't come at a very convenient time for me.
Anyway, there was a bit of a buzz around the office yesterday and folks were getting so out of had. It is going to make some ladies take a good look at themselves in the morning before they walk out of the house. If you know what you are wearing is going to "raise" the attention of every male and some females that you walk past, you might want to change it unless you are going to the club. The workplace has become slack on dress codes and some people take business casual to the extreme. I know some days I may be a little off point but I try not to do it too often. I may not have the body of a aerobics instructor but I can turn a head or two. You don't have to be rail thin to make men pay attention.
That's enough for now. I have to go tie up some loose ends around this place.
Later.

Ummm...I don't think those questions were that bad, especially the last two. And people don't run around ready other's resume's on GP...I will miss you while you're gone. But if you don't have a magnet for me, don't come back.
As for office attire, we all are bold from time to time, but yesterday was out the gates....let's just be thankful she wasn't a DB employee mis-representing.
