That’s Your Opinion

The trouble with addictions is the abnormal becomes normal. Most people caught watching porn at work would immediately exit that site. Weedman had become so accustomed to it, he didn’t.  At least not until after Jackie the HR manager walked by.

“I wasn’t watching, I just stopped by to thank Weedman,” I stammered, sounding like a high school kid telling his parents ‘that wasn’t my weed, I was just holding it for a friend.’

“Read your company policy on inappropriate websites gentlemen,” Jackie said.

“Seriously, I just…” I started to say. Jackie cut me off.

“Men are pigs,” Jackie said. “Although I had hoped you might be different, Ken.”

After she walked away, I whacked Weedman on the back of his head. “I will never convince her I wasn’t watching porn – at work -with you,” I said to Weedman. “Never.”

Today I will accept I can’t control what other people think of me.
