Office gossip

Shit truly happens especially at work. But this time I'm sure that it has also required a considerable amount of good effort and hard work to put together...

I've never been too keen to spend time with my colleagues outside of the office. Don't really know why as they all seem to be quite ok and relatively normal at work. So, this gone Saturday I gathered up my courage and accepted an invitation to attend one of these boys nights with beer and playstation.

As a result, I think my perception of the people I work with needs some rethinking, as it appears that all this bunch was thinking about was whom they would if they could and whom they either had or were about to. To my knowledge, there's nothing inherently wrong about this either but considering that most of the people in the office are either married or at least cohabiting (as the term goes) with their partners, it was somewhat revealing to me. Too revealing.

I'm not exactly a stranger to good old in-out-in-out myself (hell, I'm a married man!) but somehow I found this evenings conversations to be either total bull or just some macho-male-chauvinism. Whether or not any of these alleged sexual encounters have taken place that I can not say, but I've certainly received a proper dosis of office gossip for a good while now. Looks like I won't be going out with this bunch in a while, hopefully...

In sum, a boring, testosterone-stenched evening with crap company. Come to think of it, I did not even manage to meet any Swedish-speaking dinosaurs during my evening out with the colleagues as Mick did. Makes me kinda wish that I had. At least there would have been something more interesting to write about.
