Work

boobs and offices - am I disgrace to the sisterhood by thinking that perhaps they don't mix?

got a new colleague. in her 40s. boobs jiggling around in ludicrously low cut tops. clothes generally that involve too much effort and scream LOOK AT ME. bright red dyed hair. am i hideous for finding it difficult to take her seriously? am I sexist for thinking about (and quite possibly looking at...) her boobs when she's talking to me about work?

No I work at home. Sometimes if the phone has rung and I've been in the shower, I'll race up the stairs to answer it and I'll be having a chat with a client or someone in the nuddy. Hatwoman's colleague is a model of appropriateness compared to me.

Just in case there's any confusion, I was talking about expressing breast milk in work, (which I've had to do many times!) not expressing personality or style or those things
I agree with custardo. You have to look past the outward appearance and see the person. Not everyone is blessed with an impeccable sense of style and it's all a matter of opinion anyway.

caligula - you remind me of the time I conducted a whole phone conversation with my boss whilst sitting potty-training dd on the potty in the middle of the sitting room, wiping her bum (it was a POO, how was I menat to know) and generally dealing with it. he never suspected a thing.
