mousmeOr not. You know.
Went to Boss!Man's goodbye party. Lost my watch, which sucks. Left my number at the restaurant, so hopefully I'll get it back when they find it.
Also, in the category of "This is why I'm not out at the office," we got subjected to Boss!Man holding forth loudly on the topic of why gay people (specifically gay men, but who's going to quibble over gender when you can condemn everything else?) should not be allowed to raise children.
There was debate, of a sort, with most people carefully abstaining. Three people were firmly in the "OMG homosexuality is unnatural and t3h g4yz shouldn't be allowed near my innocent darling children lest they corrupt them!" camp, and three others (myself included) attempted to argue the contrary. There was also one person who came out with the "But why won't anyone think of the CHILDREN?!?" argument, too, which isn't so much an argument as it is a cop-out. Obviously we're thinking of the children, dumbass.
We dropped the subject before it became too heated, but let's just say that at the end of that conversation my opinion of some people in the department had sunk considerably.
Bleah.
Mostly I'm upset because I lost my watch.
