Cover Up the Girls...

I have been traumatized. Horrible images crawl across the insides of my eyelids, haunt my sleep, torture my days. I don't know how I'll get over it.

Ever since I moved upstairs to a new cubicle in a different 'cube farm' at work, I'm constantly running into this woman. She is rather large. No shame there. But her boobs are absolutely grotesque. Massive, gargantuan, gi-normous (as Molly would say.) Okay, she can't help that. What is haunting me is the image of these milk sacks, poorly supported and covered only by thin, clingy shirts or sweater, hanging down to her waist and swinging from side to side. Come on!

Ladies, do us all a favor, puh-leez!

1. Get a good bra. Surely your back will feel better, and you'll look much better AND more professional.
2. For God's sake, don't wear clingy clothes! We know they're there. We don't need to see the outline where your boobs are puffing over the top of your bra.
3. Familiarize yourself with the concept of a JACKET. I don't have big bazoombas, but I wear a jacket every day. Winter, summer, spring and fall. I have short sleeve and 3/4 length sleeves for summer. Jackets cover your bazoombas, and look much nicer in the workplace. More professional. If had to be in a meeting with her, I would feel like the airbag in my car deployed! This chick is a manager. She needs to dress more professionally!

If there were a suggestion box, I would suggest an extreme make-over.

If I were in charge, I'd make everyone attend Workplace Attire 101.

But I'm not in charge. So I guess I'll keep peeking around corners trying to avoid her. And her girls.

This is an entry from my blog on another site where I rant on things that piss me off (sack of shit ex-husband) or strike me as odd or ridiculous (work.) But I will admit to blogging on my kids frequently because they do funny, silly, and inexplicable things.

I've thought about mentioning it to her, but don't know her well enough. But I've known her boss for many years, and could point it out to her. It's just uncomfortable to discuss such things. I know how mortified I would feel if someone called me on the carpet for my dress. Awkward!

Hahaha... This seemed more like a weird blog/rant until that solid ending. Very good.
Oh wait... you actually sub-genred that hahaha. I hate it when you can't be honest with someone just because they're manager or a little higher on the totem pole.

So that's why you hide everytime I try to talk to you!

only kidding
This is good advice from another one's perspective. Can't you type a little note of advice and sneak it to her desk? I belive it makes us feel more self-conscious about our appearance to be around someone like that. Great little rant here.

Ewww... Agreed.

I have this girl at work who is really really sweet and I like her as a person, but she dresses like a whore and management doesn't stop her. It makes me feel bad because I know the guys are leting her dress like that in an exploitative way. She is young and doesn't know any better.

Sad.
