Turning in my 'Card'
My last day of class for the semester was on Friday. I now have three weeks of freedom until school starts up again in January
Our class days are each 9 hours long, with an hour for lunch and a few breaks during the day. During one of the breaks, my classmate Mark, a naval officer, and I were chatting.
Mark: "Did you go to work on Wednesday (Dec 10)?"
ME: "Umm, yeah...of course. Why wouldn't I work?"
Mark: "I figured you'd take off to protest the Prop 8 thing?"
ME: "Why would I do that?"
Mark: "Dude, it was 'Call in Gay Day' on Wednesday. Pete (a mid-level exec with a construction firm) and I were talking about it at study group and we figured you be out of work."
ME: "Seriously I had no idea. I'm totally out of touch with those kinds of things."
Mark: "Don't you find it a little disturbing that you have no idea when your people are doing things?"
ME: "I think it's more distrubing that the navy guy and the construction guy knew about 'Call in Gay Day' and neither of you are even in the Village People."
(Pause)
Mark: "Point taken."

BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Steve, I'm LAUGHING OUT LOUD here! THANK you for that; I've had a shitty couple of days, and it feels REALLY good to laugh.
Love you!

hilarious! I love the fact that just because you are gay you are supposed to know?!?!?!?
Were you wearing your cowboy hat when you said that?
Don't worry I called in for you.
"Hello Steve's workplace? He's gay!"
You're too funny some days. :-)
I should know better than to read your blog at work on my reader. I nearly fell out of my chair when I read this. I started laughing before I finished it so I missed the Village People reference the first time. I was sharing it later and had another great laugh over that!
THANK YOU!
Have a Merry Christmas!!!
That is funny.
