It has been almost two months since Fine Girl retired and she loves it. “All I ever wanted to do was drink coffee in the morning and watch the TODAY show, and I’m doing it!” By the fourth hour of the show, she’s put down her coffee and, like Kathie Lee, picked up her skinny margarita. “It’s the greatest on Sundays when I realize I don’t have to be anywhere the next morning. All I have to do is put on the coffee,” she told Calling The Dog and I while we were in our fourth hour of drinks.
We then begin talking polidicks – yes, polidicks. These are the men in positions of power who sleep their way to the top while the women with whom they are sleeping often find themselves on the bottom – literally and figuratively. “If you’re a female, especially in a city like DC, and you want a promotion, you sleep with people,” Fine Girl told us and then added, “I never wanted a promotion.” “Me neither,” Calling The Dog replied. “I haven’t wanted one for a couple of years,” I told them.
As I quickly thought back through the years, I realized I never wanted a promotion and this was evidenced by the individuals with whom I was ‘interviewed.’ “Actually, now that I think about it,” I told them, “I’ve never been in a ‘position’ to sleep my way to the top. As a result, I just keep sleeping my way to the bottom. Snooze button optional.”
you know I never know what we are talking about until I read it here. love ya T
Glad to be able to assist with translation. Sometimes what we talk about and what ends up here are two different things:) Names, facts and comments are often changed to protect the guilty.
