mandragoraToday I went into the office for the first time in a month. Been working at home, but as the legal project is - at last - approaching its end I took the files back to the office yesterday when I could park by the office without incurring the wrath of any passing traffic wardens.
The office I'm using is next to the senior partner's, and he wandered into my office this morning and mentioned that he'd had dinner with a mutual friend the other day.
Mutual friend is a very close friend of mine who knows that I write slash. I told him in the interests of friendship and reciprocity after he'd told me all the details of his latest girlfriend's liking for S&M and how he wasn't sure that it was really him. Oh yeah, and there were pictures :g:
What I should have remembered is that mutual friend is incredibly indiscreet. Hey, I know all the details of his sex life, right? And I do mean all. So telling the senior partner all about my little hobby probably didn't seem like a big deal to him.
Senior partner decided to ask me all about it, starting off with great tact and subtlety, by saying, "Hey, I hear you write erotic fantasies about Captain Janeway and put them up on the net under a pseudonym."
Cue hasty denial on my part. No lie, either, I've never posted a story featuring Janeway in a starring role (although I do have an unfinished Janeway/Paris somewhere on my hard drive). "So, [mutual friend] wasn't telling the truth, then," senior partner says. "Pity, 'cos I was looking forward to reading them."
:g:
I told him that the stuff mutual friend was thinking of isn't really meant for men, knowing that he was referring to my slash stories, as senior partner mentioned the magic word. Eventually. "What is it called?" he says. "Dash, slash, something like that?"
He's a straight bloke, though, so I doubt that slash would appeal. Although there's some great het stories out there, of course. However, I think I'll refrain from giving him any URLs. What I will do is make a note to kill mutual friend next time I see him. Which will be on Saturday. And he's so not getting his birthday present now.

And if your blabbermouth friend were my blabbermouth friend, he'd be taking a long walk off a short pier real real soon.

Nope, I think I'm just going to ask him - loudly and at length - for his views on table dancing clubs vis a vis the lap dancing variety, seeing as he's such an expert in light of his many visits. In front of his girlfriend ::smiles evilly::
