hygiene and a cup of coffee
Tuesday, September 9th, 2008
ne way for me to get the latest office scoop is seduction. i know it’s bad, and i might get fired or maybe even get sued harassment style. but every time i open my starbucks coffee bean canister, throngs of people follow me to the pantry, willing to dish out the dirtiest secrets just for a cup of brewed coffee. talks about coffee whores! who would ever figure that these people can be lured by the stimulating smell of fresh coffee beans?
oday, would-be-manager invited me to the pantry after reviewing a stack of proposals and sow (statement of work). he’s a coffee addict as well so i brought my beans which i keep at my bin (coffee beans should be kept in a cool place away from direct sunlight). as we were preparing the coffee press for brewing, we go about our usual catching up, read as chika and gossiping. we talked about project assignment, my new role, an offer for him to be a project manager of a highly visible project and somehow the conversation went to personal hygiene. he digress that one of his pet peeves is people who don’t wash hands after peeing. i think it’s because of the cut-off plastic spoon in the sugar jar that was being used as a scoop. he can’t stand the idea of an unwashed hand digging into the jar. admittedly, it’s one of those things that filipino men are guilty of, maybe because of our culture of peeing in the streets and unavailability of a washroom, or plain laziness. he further elaborates that as respected, revered, intelligent a person maybe, he thinks less of him once he found out that he doesn’t wash his hand and that he secretly watch who wash hands at the restroom.
y over active mind then wandered to this thinking. is it redundant to for gay men to wash hands after peeing? <adult topic> since we do *stuff*, stuff that involves that part, mouth, tongue and saliva, is washing hands just a waste of water and soap? is not washing hands an act of auto-felatio? unless you’re o.c. that you really do wash everything you put in your mouth. </adult topic> my dentist really is telling the truth when she told me that the mouth is the filthiest part of a person.
offee, i need more coffee. or should i have less?
