    Is the same girl I was the Amazon comment to, making comments about my gender, sexuality or the size of my penis nonchalantly (which they had never seen btw) sexual harassment? What about when I’m walking up to a cash register while she’s filling scripts and instead of Paul I get called Pauline which honestly is what I rallied for if my name was feminized, but to have The Amazonian say loudly to customers, oh Pauline (or she) will be right with you, which like I said is like half-assed validating, It just seemed like it was fair game to me. And I am kind of a whiny sensitive bitch. But I take things with a grain of salt. I grew up with a bunch of dude friends that listened to a. Of heavy metal and they had that kind of rough edged mentality. We all gave each other shit hardcore, cuz that’s the way we interacted as buddies. It’s like how you just hang out with your friends, and it felt like we were all friends at work. I wasn’t being a creep to her or anything. And like I said, people had approach me before to talk to me about the way they heard these co-workers talk to me and the things that have been said. About not just this particular woman (the Amazon), but also another two or three or four women in this pharmacy, And the way they were talking to me. People asked me if everything’s okay, and they just don’t understand how I put up with that. I Head heard that dozens of times from people outside my department. Every time I would reply that don’t really have a problem with it, and they’re just my friends, and I don’t know what I would do without them. We’re just trying to have some fun at work, Trying to like make the day pass a little quicker. And sure, you know, over 3 years working there, I’m sure some lines had been crossed on all sides… But it wasn’t like I was calling her fat, or ugly. No. Was calling her a badass Amazonian. So I guess I mean I’ll take whatever down votes I get, and can see the headspace where they come from. I’m not completely naive as to how that would come off in a normal workplace so I should have originally prefaced that the workplace I was at was not normal and my coworkers were a little rowdy and quite frankly would be considered unprofessional with their friendly banter and any other environment People knew I was kind of queer and sensitive and would give me a lot of grief as well, for a lot of different things. But this gal was tall. Maybe not as tall as the gal in the picture. But seriously, who would fucking deny that an Amazon isn’t like a fucking badass thing to be called cuz that just means you could wipe the floor with somebody bro. Like I don’t know. Maybe it’s just my perspective from playing too many video games playing as Amazon’s and and watching Xena and I don’t know. Anyway, I’m probably just digging my grave deeper here so anyway, I hope everybody waiting. This is a fabulous fucking morning. Try to forgive my alternative sense of trying to have a sense of humor with my friends or coworkers that usually were about 10 times as brutal with me. Like I literally probably should have went to HR and I probably could have got at least three of these bitches wrote up a dozen times. The playing field was already uneven and it wasn’t in my favor. Let’s just say that you know. Usually kind of a little more shy, quiet and timid, but shit if the whole department’s going to just like drop Hot shots at each other once in awhile as funny games and a good Humor? Amazon is endearing term compared to half the shit. I’d fucking come across you know.

        Actually I have been such inappropriate at that job as well but, since we knew each other well enough, it was just one more thing and I would throw myself in front of a bus to cover this girl’s ass. If management decided to ask questions I’d say I don’t know what the hell you’re talking about. This s the best technician we have here, and I’ve never seen her once behave inappropriately. Although they would know that was a fucking lie because the whole store knows her personality. Just saying yeah. Everyone can believe what they want to. It’s all cool. I’m going to get off the internet for a while cuz apparently I’m getting a little too hyper fixated on comments that don’t really matter in the long run of things. I just thought the original was funny and I didn’t want people feeling like oh, I’m just some kind of a creep but. Is what it is so have a good morning and all ❤️
