Hello fellow Dopers,
The thread about influences reminded me of my favorite person and one of the awkwardest situations that I have ever been put into.
I was sitting in my private piano lesson in college with my professor, Sister Goretti. (Yes, I went to a Catholic University) Anyway, I was at my piano and she was at hers and we just got finished warming up when she popped the question on me, “So, what do you like to do in bed?” I know she meant it completely innocently, at least I hope, but it completely shocked me. That in itself is a difficult feat to accomplish. Anyway, I sat at my piano staring at her with my mouth agape drawing flies for ten whole minutes until I finally overcame the shock enough to say, “that’s really personal sister.”
Yes, she knew I was gay. She even really liked my lover. I think she was trying to ask me if I was a top(fucker) or a bottom(fuckee), but did not know the words. If I thought quicker I could have said something like, “It depends, what do you like to do in bed?” but that would not have been appropriate. For the record I am versatile being both top and bottom.
HUGS!

Um, I gather from your post that the two of you are friends, but still, that is completely unprofessional behavior on her part. As her friend you might want to gently point out to her that if she is doing that sort of thing with other students she could get herself fired for sexual harassment in a big hurry. (I think your response that it was none of her business was the best one, under the circumstances.)
The most awkward situation I have ever been in was when my company Pres and VP were in a meeting and started arguing with each other in a non-professional way while we were discussing the new products. They live together and it got really ugly and I tried to excuse myself politely but they kept saying to not go. Yikes! I hate working in a family run business.

Drain, is that the start of a joke?
Ok. After that lame attempt of humor. I guess you could just assign the nun to duties that are not involved with students. Don’t fire her, but move her around.
In answer to the OP. I think my whole life is an awkward situation.
