Today I came across something that supersedes anything I have ever come across in all my years of blogging in the auto industry. Peculiarly it came in my first day on the job with a new gig in child safety.
The discovery began as I was sorting through an initial batch of emails to which I was included on from the client. These emails contained links to articles, press releases, blog posts, etc. There were even links to re-tweets on Twitter (it irks me that Twitter is now in our vocabulary).
After a few moments I was grazing through some of the Twitter conversations and came across one from a blog called Pajamas and Coffee where the author gets in to how she got shit-faced the night before and cheated on her boyfriend (seems trashy I know but it’s not, keep reading).
Her boyfriend in this case was Jack Daniels the liquor. She cheated on Jack by drinking another liquor, thus the post title I cheated on Jack. She regretted it in the morning with a major hangover. What blew me away though is what her husband told her the next morning when she woke up…
(Remember a moment ago I said this isn’t trashy? Well, I lied. It is. It’s profane and distasteful and this is your last chance to escape the vulgarity to which you are about to be exposed.)
Her husband’s first words in the morning were, “I knew it was time to take you home when you started fucking the icicle.”
So here I am fishing through conversations amongst moms and then WHAM! I have this in front of me. Suddenly I began feeling like a pretty simple guy.
As I look closer I see other “mommy” bloggers and Twitterers commenting on this and sharing a laugh (and re-tweets too). I knew that women, like men, have their raunchy side, but I didn’t consider their public conversations about it when I took this job. It just never crossed my mind that I would be susceptible to this kind of dialog.
Considering this is only my first day on the job in this arena, it makes you wonder what else I am destined to see considering that after nearly 4 years blogging in the auto industry I have seen nothing remotely close to this.
Ohmygosh! Thank you so much for saying I’m not trashy. Heh, heh.
I appreciate you finding and reading my site (although visiting on the first day after my somewhat unusual incident with the Absolut Pear may have been a bit shocking). Oh, and be sure to come on back tomorrow- I write “Hump Day” posts every Wednesday.
Cheers and thanks for reading!
