Random Funnies 2

It's common knowledge that I get outed at work on a weekly basis. It's the inevitable consequence of the fact that I've worn an engagement ring for five years, which clients find interesting, then moved to New Zealand for a relationship, which clients also find interesting.


This was my favourite image from the Google Image search "Out at Work" - from Analekta, an online classical music store.


Sometimes this is awkward (thinking back to my first ever audit engagement), but it's usually a bit of a fun aside. I lost track of how many of my clients have GLBTTIQ nephews and nieces, but the one of the consequences of this is that clients can sometimes over-share because I seem pretty non-judgmental.

See below for one such example.

Had an awesome client encounter yesterday.

After catching up since last year, I had her tell me all about her upcoming 3-week trip to Melbourne. Her son’s is getting married, she’s going to hang out with the grandkids, go to some nice restaurants and will probably end up getting a little botox.

I had to resist the temptation to high five her for owning it, and being awesome.
