The scene: me in the employee kitchen preparing my all-important Monday morning caffeine. Our receptionist passes by and I ask her to get me a clip for my keycard, in hopes of preventing me from constantly misplacing it like I have been doing the last couple of weeks. She gets me one, and as I clip it on, I mention that I blame the weather for making me lose my keycard a lot; when the weather starts getting nicer I start wearing pants without pockets and thus have nowhere to carry my keycard, so it goes missing a lot.

A male coworker says somewhat surprisedly, "Pants without pockets? do they make such a thing?"

Me: Well, probably not for men, but for women they certainly do.
Him: What, pockets are unsightly? it's a fashion thing?
Me: No, it's all part of the vast...
Him: Oh, I can see it coming, don't go there...
Me: ...patriarchal conspiracy to force women to carry purses, thus weighing them down -- it's all part of the Man's way to keep us down!
Him: I knew you would go there.
Me: I hate to disappoint.

In other news, ( I had a very eventful Mother's Day. )

So it was a nice day overall, although I'm still really bitter about the crappy weather. Seriously, what the hell? It's fucking MAY and we were wearing scarves and our warm coats. SCARVES!!! I ask you.

We have tickets for tomorrow night's Red Sox game, but if the weather is going to be anything like it was yesterday, I'm not sure I want to go. And anyway our babysitter called to say she isn't available, so whether I want to go may turn out to be moot. :(

And that's my eventful update for the moment. More later, you can count on it. ;)
