Gay Buffet

For the past two weeks I have been working with a team of all guys (no, this isn't the buffet). This is something that I don't think I've ever done before. The entire day is completely different in almost every way than it is with even just one female on the team. What that means is that with deciding on lunch and dinner during the day and a two week period where UT won the Rose Bowl and Marcus Vick got kicked out of Virginia Tech, not a single productive piece of work is going to get down. The comment made at the end of today was that we just need one girl here to keep us productive.

There are seven guys in all and two of them get there early every day so that they can leave for a couple of hours in the afternoon and go to the gym. When one of the guys got back yesterday, he mentioned his problem with old guys in the locker room who like to stand around (or sit on the benches) naked and talk to anybody else in the room. For those of you who haven't spent a little bit of time in a guy's locker room, this is true of all old men who go to the gym.

Anyway, when the second guy got back today, we asked him if he had any 'old guy' experiences today. He responded no, but said he had another kind of bad experience today. He prefaced his story by saying that he has nothing against gay people, it's just the staring. He said there was a gay couple (he has seen them work out together several times and it's obvious they are a couple) in the locker room when he was getting dressed. While he changed his boxers, they both just full-on stared at him the whole time. He said that it just didn't seem fair that they got to stare at him in the locker room. That it was like him just wandering into the women's locker room and sitting down to watch. The guy's locker room was like a buffet to them. It was such a good deal for them, that if he was gay he would probably just hang out in the guy's locker room all day.

On another gay note, a third guy in the room randomly commented last week "I wish I could quit you." I laughed under my breath.
