Better Than a Smack on the Ass
After coming to the rescue of one of our attorneys (again), a detective meeting with him said, "Gee, I wish I had an assistant as pretty as yours to help me out." Then, after I gave him the document that the attorney was struggling to print out, he said, "Thanks, baby." I was laughing at the time, because I really didn't care.
I still don't care. I thought it was funny, and I know he was trying to be funny. But some of the people who overheard it don't think it was funny. I've already been apologized to twice and a co-worker expressed her dismay that I didn't "stand up to him".
Look, if I'm not bothered or offended, you don't get to be bothered or offended on my behalf. Get over it.
