If you have taken the time to read my sidebar, then you most assuredly know that GQ happens to be a homosexual man who works as a supporting engineer to the production floor. While most of us from the production floor know and accept this of GQ, I have my serious doubts the Director of Operations is aware of this fact.
A new guy himself, the Director of Operations is a foreign born citizen from the Czech republic who has found himself, up until this past August, heading up 3 corporations in the country of China. With such little exposure to GQ and the production floor, I'm certain he, in no way, knows the identity of GQ's true sexual orientation.
If he did, the following events may not have occurred.
Tuesday morning, bright and early, I happen to look outside my area and see, in all his glory, GQ gliding his way toward myself and Sophia, dressed entirely in drag, complete with red wig, make up, and grey wedge heels.
As he approached, hand bag on one bent arm, plastic shopping bag on the other, he began speaking of how he had decided to dress up as Sophia's sister for Halloween. I was speechless.
Word of GQ had spread across the entire production floor, now a legend in his own time, even the Director of Operations had found his way to GQ's desk just to see with his own eyes.
GQ was elated he had created such a stir.
Fast forward to yesterday, if you will. 24 hours had passed and the entire production floor is in attendance of a plant meeting. The Director of Operations is standing before us all, microphone in hand, talking about how much fun he had the previous day, how morale boosting it was, and how he had in the past enjoyed dressing up for Halloween, but had chosen not to this year due to his newness in his position.
It was at this moment in time he had chosen to bring up GQ, how lovely GQ looked and how he was tempted to ask 'her' out on a date.
I almost died. The production floor was silent, for, I'm certain, they were all thinking the same thing I was thinking.
Does he know? Is it possible he does not know? If he knew GQ was gay, would he have still said he was tempted to ask 'her' out on a date? And, most importantly, did GQ take this as a compliment?
I couldn't believe my ears!
Alas, it is now today, and, my head is absolutely killing me. I've just spent the last 3 hours sitting in a conference room reviewing slides on the 3rd quarter QSR, and, to be honest, I feel like my eyes are going to fall right out of my head.
I think, perhaps, the events of today will have to be chronicled tomorrow, in a very rare, Saturday post.

Holy shit! That's fuckin' wild! How long did it take to pick your jaw up off the floor?

Spicegirl looks absolutely terrible today. Ratty grey t-shirt that said Yellowstone, jeans that were not only too short but way too tight, and reebok tennish shoes.
COSJ was completely clothed, swear to God. Turtle neck beneath a blazer, dockers. I was in shock, actually.
Maybe under the turtleneck she had something HOT working...but didn't want to bust it out until closing time when she will be headed to Happy Hour! Drinks for everyone...and some nipple pinching!
I have a friend of mine named Dave Dread. Actually he's a friend of a friend. So, one dress-up party he rocks up as 'Davina' a sexy siren (picture him as a six-feet tall, stubbled individual who has crooked teeth). We all have a laugh. A few weeks later there is another party and 'Davina' turns up to that as well. There is laughter, albeit slightly nervous ones. A month later somebody catches 'Davina' walking down the street with a case of beer. Weird. His housemate confessed that he is seeing more and more of 'Davina'. He once came home to find 'Davina' in full drag playing Playstation.
Epilogue: As far as we can tell this was a temporary thing. 6 months later 'Davina' never disappeared for good.
fatman, I can totally see GQ doing drag on the weekends, I'll bet his boyfriend gets a real kick out of it.
