So what if guys would slobber on themselves? Dress up once in a while. Even if you only wore them once a month you make some guy's day! Don't be selfish. Don't worry about comfort or what people will think of you. Don't be a hater. Spread some happiness in the world.<BR/><BR/>BTW - I wish I had coworkers like yours. Friends in the workplace make all the difference. You spend more time with them than anyone else - best if you like them. I work for a guy who's inconsiderate and short sighted. My coworkers are okay, but just plain simple women. They are both nice ladies, but neither would I ask to share a cup of coffee or split a bottle of wine.twobuyfourhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18195751674340015830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2117136912052729666.post-91883672778981869812007-10-16T16:03:00.000-04:002007-10-16T16:03:00.000-04:00Oooo, sorry.
