And Another Thing!

I've been told that I "walk like a construction worker." Well folks, now I've got me a snappy comeback for that one, eh?

*rolling eyes at myself now*

So what's the comeback? If there ever was a forum for too-late comebacks, this is.

I AM a construction worker!

(I am also a colossal dork.)

But do you also whistle at any attractive women who walk by? (Isn't there a book that tells you how to act like a construction worker?)

Actually I think it's pretty cool. If I haven't said so yet congratulations on getting the job and good luck.

"But do you also whistle at any attractive women who walk by?"
No, because a) I've never learned to do a wolf-whistle, and b) it would get me fired. "b" would be the primary reason, if "a" didn't make the point moot. "b" does, however, prevent me from yelling "nice rack, baby!!"

What if you're pointing to your own rack when you say it?

Well, then I just look silly. I was joking with the bosses today about having to clean and Armor-All the boss' pickup before driving it again. I was riffing on my usual "I'm happy to do this job, but I need you to explain it in detail because I've never done it before and want to do it right the first time" routine, asking for specific details on how to apply Armor-All to the dash. He said that a shirttail works fine. I pointed out that if I used my shirttail to clean the dashboard, I'd create a safety hazard on the job site.

I want to walk like a construction worker! I've been told that my walk isn't particularly "ladylike", so I think I need to find a new walk, since the ladylike walk isn't working out. Can you teach me to walk like a construction worker? I think that sounds cooler than walking like a lady.

I think it involves taking strides that are just a little too long for the length of your legs, walking "quickly and with purpose" (to quote absurd_observer, "God help the person who gets in her way"), and wearing hiking boots for the required foot-weight.

Thank you. I will try that sometime.
