Female Troubles
Pinch Me...or Don't
I had just had female surgery and had to return to work sooner than planned since my counterparts were out of the office. My boss told me I could wear sweats as long as they were nice (I was not able to button up dress pants). I was back at work for the second day and attended a meeting. The man running the meeting looked at me and asked how long I was going to "milk" wearing sweats to work! I could not believe he said that in front of a group of people!
