Threesome
There is nothing like sharing your office with 2 guys.
After a 2-year-and-a-half deep dive in a 90% feminin team in a huge open space, it feels like a reward. How relieving not to hear (and, ok, sometimes take part too) the permanent chip-chip-chip of the poultry in the basse-cour. And it is not a matter of topics. It is a matter of frequency.
No wonder that in the middle of this high-heeled fauna, my best favourite colleague was the only man of the team - except the boss but I don't consider he was IN the team.
Now it is a different story. Smaller team, mainly male, with not-so-feminin species as woman representatives. There are still tensions, even conflicts. But few. Men - at least the 2 sitting opposite to me - manage to get over it and their work and working conditions do NOT turn into a visible permament contest. On top of that, they love cooking, they watch 'La N*uvelle St@r' and talk about it just as extensively as Caroline does. They don't watch football, do not buy Auto-Moto. I've never had so much chocolate, sweets, homemade cookies. No bikini/low rise/slim (yuk yuk yuk) dictatorship. Some precious and sometimes long moments of silence. Some typical dirty naughty jokes...
Mmh... is my man side over-developped ?? Or are we just the living proof that the border between man and woman standards is getting blur and thiner ? Woaaah...
Sorry for the hooky title... :-P
