[kj] OT: women & working from home

[fatpotanga]

Excellent!
Your wifes maiden name wasn't fatpotanga perchance...?

Glad my misfortune has made people smile and enticed Janean out of lurkdom
for a second time in as many days :)

Speaking of underwear, my most embarrassing incident was when we were having
a room redecorated after an insurance claim.
I'd just got showered but damn, no underwear - it was all clean downstairs
along with my jeans, so wearing nothing but a T shirt I nipped down to
finish dressing there.
My office is downstairs at the back of the house & as we're not overlooked I
thought I'd quickly check my emails. I'd been sat down 30 seconds when
there's a knock on the window behind me. I hide as much as I can under the
desk & turn round to see a rapidly retreating decorator who gives me a very
quick thumbs up and vanishes.
I was soooo embarrassed. I mean how must it have looked a guy sat at a
computer, naked from the waist down.
It was even worse having to open the door to the bloke moments later after a
very quick ninja-like dash to the laundry.
We didn't discuss it.
