[QUOTE=Team of Scientists] How did you guys boink after drinking that much? [/QUOTE] We’re Aussies, what can I say? 🆒 I think he’s kind of a root rat, so is probably used to it. Honestly, how much coordination does it take? And to those voices of wisdom, we’re a very casual small workplace. I don’t think we even have sexual harrassment policies, and if we do, they’re probably from the 1970s anyway, and detail ‘what not to say in front of the secretary.’ And, since you’re all dying to hear… I haven’t heard from him. I’m not surprised, because he mentioned on Monday he has no phone credit, and payday is still a week away. Poor starving student. We’re supposed to be working together this Monday (which is a public holiday) so I may have some more gossip then. ---

I work for a federally mandated (USA)county agency(Equal Opportunity Commission) and even _we_ don’t consider this happy tale, as is, a case of sexual harrassment. We really _are_ an Equal Opportunity employer… and so are you! 😃 ---

[QUOTE=BrainGlutton] How could either of you get it on after drinking that much? [/QUOTE] You know what - this question popped into my head randomly today, during class of all places. I have to say I am impressed. I had a similar episode happen to me recently and … let’s just say things did not go as smoothly as they should have. So yeah, that is quite impressive. We await more gossip eagerly. 🙂 ---

I hate to be a wet blanket, but I’ve been in this situation before myself – way back when in America, I slept with my female supervisor – and things got a little too “uncomfortable” after a while. In general, I think it’s best not to sleep with your immediate subordinates if possible, although those darned glands do have a knack of having their own way. On the other hand, my best friend in Thailand, a fellow American, married his secretary, so that worked out okay. ---

[/QUOTE] Whatever gossip you may have heard about **Autolycus** (and I’m sure it’s all true, in his case), I have to say that twenty years ago I used to be good with six UK pints inside me. It was just that she’d better not be in a hurry for me to finish if I was in a state of moderate intoxication. 😛 ---
