1. I have 'em stashed everywhere. When I resigned and wasn't given a chance to clean out my desk, I
almost sent a note to the poor gal who had to clean out my desk for me -- she found them in all sorts of drawers, I'm sure, and probably thought I had a real problem...

:rofl:

12. I was given an early surgical reprieve back in November
But I had been having major problems with that part of my anatomy since my daughter was born 7.5 years ago. I think her birth sent me into "perimenopause". Perimenopause, I have heard, can last up to 15 years.

I still have the hot flashes and the night sweats.

4. I've got 'em stashed so many places I have to be careful.
"Can I borrow a pencil" gets really weird when the, erm, products, go flying.... :rofl:

8. I keep a box of tampons in my desk drawer.
Edited on Sun Mar-01-09 01:26 AM by davsand
One day, one of the men in my office was looking for a phone book and I told him to get it out of the second desk drawer down in my desk. He goes in my office and there is dead silence. He doesn't come out and so I holler in there--"did you find it?" I hear a quiet little "no."

I go in there and he's just standing there with the drawer open looking mortified. He had opened the WRONG drawer and was face to face with a big box of super tampons. I reached around him saying, "No, you idjit--not the tampon drawer!" and I opened the one above it and handed him the phone book.

This guy lives with two daughters and a pretty cranky wife--you'd THINK the sight of a box of tampons would be no big thing.

:shrug:

9. I keep finding them in the damnedest places.
We recently ran out of TP and I went for the roll in my backpack. While I was getting it out, a couple came out then. I had forgotten even putting them in there. :P
