Uh, That's Not the Fire I Was Expecting...

[savageseraph]

Let's say that you won a Kindle Fire. And that you played with it a bit and were not terribly impressed with it. And then let's say that you tell a coworker about this situation and ask if she'd like to take it for a test drive and bring it back in a few days. If all these things are true, there are some things to consider.

1. You probably shouldn't be logged in to your apps for Facebook, Plenty of Fish, Amazon, etc. If you are, you might just discover that you bought an iPad for Barb, that your status has been updated to "single and celibate," and that you are now dating a blue-haired Florida retiree who wears Hawaiian shirts and plays the ukeleke.

2. Failing that, you should probably clear the search memory in your Amazon account, or else the person test driving is likely to open up the app and immediately see your list of books on how to be a male exotic dancer.

*sigh* This is a conversation I must have with him when I bring the machine back because while I've tried not to open any apps with personal information in them, I cant navigate that well, and some mistakes happened. Also, while I found the exotic dancer list FUCKING FUNNY (and honestly, I was pretty sure he was doing nude photoshoots), I could see how the fact that you are having twenties stuffed in your thong outside of work hours is NOT something you really want to be common knowledge in the office.

I'm totally giggling over here. Just to let you know. *g*

What the hell was he thinking? *snort*

[wyncatastrophe.livejournal.com]

…wow.

[savageseraph.livejournal.com]

Yeah. That was my thought. Right after, "Thank god, I wasn't looking at this with other people and opening it in the midst of a gathered crowd."

This has really made me grin this morning. Thanks for the laugh. :D

[savageseraph.livejournal.com]

Always happy to oblige.

LOL

Brilliant. Can’t help from giggling. Thanks for the laughs.

[savageseraph.livejournal.com]

You're very welcome. ^_^

*snicker* I cannot wait to find out how telling him went. ^_^ ...Also, holy crap, what kind of books were these that he's doing well enough to get twenties stuffed in there, eh? *G*

[savageseraph.livejournal.com]

I didn't. *sigh* I just gave it back. Mostly because his officemate was in there with him, and it wasn't a good time.

Now, well, I don't see it at work anymore, so I guess it's all good.

I can honestly say that I'd not considered up until now the need for a bibliography on male exotic dancing (you might ask Why?); however, it sounds either as though he hardly needs self-help books, or, this is an elaborate scenario he's created to see how his helpful co-worker reacts. *g*

[savageseraph.livejournal.com]

*snicker* Well, I assumed that he was doing some nude photography (or films) on the side, so I'm guessing this is...errr...research material.

*facepalms*

*snicker* And then there are times when I *really* miss having an actual office with co-workers. Of course, I have LJ, so I can vicariously enjoy other people's offices and co-workers.

Oh dear... although I admit, I wouldn't mind being a fly on the wall for that conversation. *snickers more*

I didn't tell him when I gave it back because his very religious officemate was in the room. However, since it is no longer on his desk, I'm thinking we're safe.

*snorts* He's an IT guy. He should know better.

I shouldn't laugh ... but I did!

[savageseraph.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. I think laughing is the only reasonable response. *g*
