I want to go kiss this person, except that they don't know me and thus would probably find it weird and scary. ;P

Then again, if I did what they did at my former company, I probably would have had my ass fired, or at least something bad put on my record. They weren't too fond of "problem CSSRs" over there.

*sigh*

SO glad I left that company.

My suggestion is you go and do it anyways and find it. Who knows, I'd say there's a good chance they'd find it original and charming, not weird and scary. ;)

I'm a feminine pronoun, not a plural pronoun commonly used to denote neutrality of gender!

Heh. :)

See, I was reasonably sure of this at the time, but I hadn't read your little userinfo and what have you, and I have been misled by usernames in the past, which has got me into trouble with the owners of said usernames (even ones which you'd think were clearly gendered one way or the other). I tend to use the third person plural as a sort of gender neutral singular until I'm more certain of my footing so as not to cause more offense than is strictly necessary.

I shall henceforth use the third person singular, feminine, to refer to you, chère dame. :)

I think you maaay have had to have been there, if you can parse THAT bit of grammar.

Anyways.  Yes!  I'll state that I had NO idea how to refer to you till I saw "la la la lesbian la la", so unless you're one of those people, i.e. those guys who like to say they're a lesbian trapped in a man's body, I figure I'm safe using the feminine pronoun.

Frankly, if I had a username like "ladytabitha", and was a guy, and actually got offended if someone thought of me as a she... oh, the heavy-duty mockery of self that would happen!

Oh, cool. I'm oddly flattered. I get told a lot that I'm pretty easy to read, and thus people spot me for a girl a mile away, blah blah blah, so it's nice to retain a little bit of mystery every now and again. ;)

Actually, my username is the French spelling of a Japanese word that means "little girl."

I don't think I was there for bunnyDUCKbunnyDUCKbunnyDUCKDUCKDUCK, but it sounds vaguely familiar... is it a completely in-joke, or something that I might actually have heard of?

Oh, and no, I'm not a lesbian trapped in a man's body. I'm a lesbian in a woman's body. My life is complicated enough, thankyouverymuch.

I kept seeing "MOUSE ME", since my friend's phone number is MOOSEME...

Also, naw, that's totally an in-joke, between me and my strange strange brain.  Dear god, I need to get out more!

It sounds like Loony Toons or something, you know? Kill the wabbit, kill the wabbit...

And yes, a lot of people see the name as "mouse me," but there's no extra "e" in there. It's a perfectly undestandable mistake to make, given that the word isn't really a word that exists.
