Crack Please!

Have you ever been sitting in a conference room waiting for a meeting to start daydreaming about life, grocery list, people you need to call, and then all of the sudden everyone you’ve been waiting for to start the meeting begin to file into conference room?  Well had one of these moments last week at work.  I was one of the first people to arrive simply because I just got off from work myself, and I just needed to pick up some coffee so I could survive another meeting with human resources.  As always I greet everyone as they come into the conference room to sit down and get themselves situated.  As I watch everyone come into the room I can’t help observe everyone’s behavior, style, attitude, and friendliness whether they wanted to be friendly with this person or not.  Meanwhile I check my phone for any miss calls or text messages and sip on my coffee and wait patiently.  After 15 minutes of waiting for the “big wigs” to show up I realize all of the seats were taken in the room and the only seat left was the ottoman, and to my surprise my supervisor was the only one without a seat.  It was quite funny to watch her spin around and do this weird production like someone was going to give up their comfortable seat just for her.  Finally she sat down on the ottoman, which was directly in front of me, and that’s when I was exposed to the dreaded BUTT CLEVEAGE!!!!   You know I’ve heard about this new trend women are doing these days, but I guess I wasn’t prepare to see this at a 9:00 a.m.  meeting while drinking my morning coffee and trying to mind my business.  And not only was I exposed to BUTT CLEVEAGE I was tortured with knowing what colored underwear my supervisor was wearing for 3 hours!!!!  I mean how embarrassing is this????  How can I take someone with a Master’s degree in social work serious when their running around with BUTT CLEVEAGE at a meeting with every single employee present?????  I guess I have to share this story to simply say this, if you are wearing dress slacks and your pants do not fit…..get your pants altered to fit you, and if you can’t afford the alterations wear a freaking belt!!!! Just always remember there is always someone behind you when you’re not aware.
