I'm really really happy....

....I knew today was going to be awesome as soon as I saw a group of Eunuchs standing in the middle of busy Outer Ring Road on the way to the office this morning. They were totally busted, and knocking on car windows demanding cash! It made me happy to finally see them after hearing so many stories of them crashing weddings and threatening to show their mangled junk to people. We drove away before any junk was displayed, but it still made me super happy and made me feel more at home (I miss you, Gayborhood Trannies)!!

Then, once at the office, I found out that work is cancelled tomorrow, and that instead of being picked up to go to work, we are all getting picked up and driven here, The Club Cabana Resort, for a day of team building exercises, bowling, swimming, ice cream, and water slides! And they have something called a "lazy river," which sounds like a really long pool that I can float down in a big inner tube! I am sooooo pumped on this, although I have to admit that the bathing suit thing is causing me a tiny amount of anxiety.

Normally, I would be sick at the thought of donning a bathing suit in the presence of co-workers, but in the States, that would be due to poor body image and all that Western "everyone is going to see how fat I am" kind of shit. Here, though, my anxiety has way more to do with the confusing instructions we were given regarding proper bathing attire, and an odd mention of lycra cycling shorts, which I do not have with me. That and the fact that most of my lady friends at work have told me that they are not planning to go into the water, because they do not want to be immodest in front of the men. I already cause a commotion of sorts when I wear skirts here, because the other women are totally covered up. And the gym down the street has "ladies only" hours, as do many salons. So, I'm thinking that even my athletic-cut, t-back bathing suit is going to be considered scandalous, and I'm also thinking that I will be the only person showing any skin, and hence everyone will be staring at me in a bathing suit, which is a pretty nightmarish scenario. I really want to go down those water slides, though, so I'm going to just go for it, and if anything embarassing happens, at least I'll have a funny story for you!!

P.S. - Speaking of funny, I accidentally bought a pair of MC Hammer pants. Photos maybe to follow, if I can stop laughing long enough to put them back on.
