…hen you get an email confirming a booty call, and you’re sitting at your computer with a huge smile on your face, and your underling comes in and asks what you’re grinning about … …you can’t tell him. 😃 ---

Forgive my bluntness but please explain the big smile. As in, “Yahoo I get to have sex with someone who thinks of unworthy of dating, weeee!” I just don’t quite understand anyone being flattered to have received a ‘booty call’. To my sensibilities it is offensive in every way. ---

This is someone who I enjoy spending time with and who I enjoy having sex with – but who’s as uninterested in a “relationship” with me as I am with him – our quirks don’t mesh particularly well. It will be a pleasant afternoon and evening, plus some excellent sex, an activity not otherwise available to me at the moment. Thanks for asking. ---

The real downside is that when one of your underlings pulls such a stunt, you have to let them know in no uncertain terms that it is not acceptable business behavior and does not belong on a business computer. Unless it pertains to work, keep porn off your computer. ---

No porn involved – an exchange of personal emails, using my personal email account. Yikes, what is _with_ you people? ---
