It's the field and it's society growing men to be chauvinistic until women with brains teach them otherwise. <b>Avi,</b> I'm sure Amy ate a man or two alive for pulling that shit with her. Dawg actually got a little twinkle in his eye about showing up as my non-wife. He's crazy, though. <b>Lisa,</b> I've never been big on them either but it's part of the culture at this job and I think my co-workers are cool so I'll hang out with them once in a while.

But I assure you it glosses over my brain, I'm just in there to see if it should be delivered or not, I don't care what it actually says. I've had that job function at previous jobs so it's not anything new to me, it's just the last job I had for 6 years was soooo big about NOT doing that type of monitoring that it's weird to go back to it. <b>Noelle,</b> that sounds like a conflict of interest at the very least, which is pretty rad. <b>Sour,</b> you are lovely too. I'm sorry I haven't stopped in for a while. I'm still adjusting... <b>Maman,</b> it was the first Poppified insult that entered my brain. The IT guys don't wear Gucci.

A few years later, I showed the agreement to a friend who needed an example so he could write one of his own for a magic show. I wonder, is it a violation of confidentiality to show the actual agreement to someone? If so, the above story is completely made up, and I'm not Noelle.
