Well, I tried my housemate's new tea she received from friends in France. We finally worked out the translation as verbena tea. We then sat down to chat / shoot the shit (such a terrible phrase). We got on to office chat. These conversations are always amusing especially when you are living in a foreign country as you soon learn levels of appropriateness.
This story cracks me up. So Claire, my house mate, arrived at work and was talking to 'Big Boobs'. 'Big Boobs' informed her that she was happy because she had just had sex. Claire was taken aback by the forwardness of the comment but laughed it off. I bet she regrets doing that now. I bet she wishes she had nipped it in the bud. 'Big Boobs' went on to inform her that as her and her partner only had a short time they had to use lubricant - to Claire's absolute horror. Then 'Big Boobs' went on to explain why she needed to use it. As for levels of appropriateness in an office environment with others you don't know well at all...
If you want you can tell me what your reaction is. Blokes always wonder what girls talk about when they are together. At least now we know the kind of things they talk about in Carlton, Melbourne.
The other funny story is, again, from Claire. [I don't get out much these days...]. She told me how her office mate has a weight watchers calendar and uses it quite often. This office mate said she wouldn't eat a chocolate muffin for breakfast each morning as a start. Then Claire tells me that in her office she was told that if she was hungry and didn't want to eat, she should stand, naked, in front of the mirror and eat. The hunger feeling would quickly pass as a result... Honestly the lengths people are willing to abide by the old wives tale 'eating is cheating', never ceases to amaze me!
Okay, over and out.
