    hahahahahahahahahha....OMG....are you serious?! wtf kinda company do you work for? :p i don't care what anyone's feelings are on any of the holidays, but that is just toooooo FAR imho. it shouldn't be at WORK...unless you work in an elementary or nursery school! :D and believe me....from halloween trhu easter......i know it all TOO well from an art room perspective! yikes! that is just laaaammmmmmmmeeee from a work environment perspective. yikes, i'd not want to do ANY of that either...and i'm no scrooge! :p

    Well, you should have been around before Christmas. On Monday 12/10, there was a cubicle decorating contest; Tuesday was bring your favorite traditional holiday food; Weds was "craft-making" during lunch; Thurs was judging of the cubicles and hot chocolate in the afternoon and dinner in the evening; Friday was a potluck during lunch and Secret "angel" buddy (how that is more "pc" than Santa I don't know). I mean some of those things can be fun but it got to the point where it was excessive and I'm sorry I don't want to spend my lunch hour making gingerbread houses with my coworkers. (That day I left haha and people looked at me like I was crazy). Fortunately I was getting ready to go out of the country so I used that as an excuse why I missed most of the activities, but still, everyone couldn't believe why I didn't want to participate in EVERYTHING. :rolleyes:

    that's terrible! I hated doing that stuff when I was a kid! (well I liked the mailbox decorating, but I hated doing the cards.) you should give your coworkers cards that say "I choo choo choose you."

    Haha, good one. Or maybe some cards with that angry bunny :p

    your company sounds like HELL! the really scary kind...whereas it looks all shiny and happy...but is filled with evil! it's got to be a cover for some underhand sextrade or sumthin'. what aren't you telling us? :p


    seriously..i just think there are *degrees* of company-sharing appropriateness, and your place sounds WAY over! yikes!


    i hope at the very least you all get some good chocolate! :D
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    I disagree with this...I don't ever really think about sex anymore but I don't think there's something wrong with me except that it is possibly the medications I'm on.


    you just kind of answered my point :)

    as mammalian beings, we are mentally attuned to thinking about sex... its what mammals do... pandas are really hairy nuns, so we dont count them... but human beings should be thinking about sex quite often... if they dont then something in their life isnt as good as it should be.. and thats the 'wrong with them' bit i was discussing :)

    no, I mean I'm not sure I'd care otherwise and I know other people who I think don't care.

    thats utterly subjective... think think think..

    it doesnt stand up in court so it wont here.. hee hee... i said 'stand up'

    i'm not suggesting it should be thought about every 6 seconds... but if someone goes 3 months not thinking about sex or not seeing someone they think is hot then ... well ... you know :)

    finding love is like applying for jobs ( which is what i'm doing right now ) to get somekind of a job you've got to apply everywhere and even apply for vacancies that you think you won't get. and you've got to apply everyday!! and maybe after good 3 months you'll get what you're looking for.

    being fed up with sex???!!! what's that? i completely don't understand you
    Well, not being fed up with sex ... (never had it :o, I'm the 20 yr old virgin :o) but being fed up with all the complications it implies

    And good luck jobhunting, I'm starting my internship within two weeks, so I know about applying :D

    Then fine. Everyone is attracted to someone in one form of another though. If not, there's something wrong. it's human nature. :)

    even the Inuit people can keep it going... maybe you have too much choice... maybe you arent looking in the right places... like Scotland for instance.

    if you've never had it then you dont know the complications involved.

    I'm kind of the guy my friends go to if they have problems ... just to get it off of their chests ... pretty discouraging :p
    Plus, I heard sex makes friendship almost impossible ... don't want that to happen :o
