LOL – Yeah, I’d tap that. ;)[/quote]

I’ve shove you into the path of a speeding 1961 DeSoto to jump his bones before you could get to him, UCGal.

Actually, I entered the workplace during the last gasps of that era. The feminists had marched, laws had been passed, but everyone, including women, were still walking around in a daze, not fully comprehending what had happened. So a lot of the earlier behaviors continued, including the 3-martini lunches (which could also explain some of the daze).

Thanks to the unjustly maligned “women’s libbers”, we girls didn’t have to wear girdles and bullet bras anymore. But you never told an employer that you knew how to type. Otherwise, no matter how much education you had or type of degree(s) you held, you’d be placed in the secretarial/typing pool (and kept there!). All in all, a strange time.

Funny thing, though. When I was young, I had a firm and fast rule about not dating married men, to which I steadfastly adhered. And quite a few were Don Draper clones. It wasn’t a moral thing, I regret to say. It came down to “what do I get out of this?”, and in every scenario, the married man was getting more than I was.

We’ve already established the fact that you’re a loser since you rent your home, so it is doubtful that entering your cocktail choices would skew the Myers-Briggs results significantly.

I’m cognizant that you didn’t ask for my opinion, but thought I’d weigh in anyway as it appeared to be an emergency situation.

Second that opinion, UCGal. Thanks for interjecting a note of sanity, along with a healthy dose of fact, into the atmosphere of hysteria.

I am particularly grateful for your attempt to enlighten on the realities of the post-1983 Federal retirement structure. You’d think that after 27 years, word would have gotten around.
