Maybe this thread will be fun, Add what you will, of course the women will be watching (they like to watch too)...I am sure there are more that can be mentioned, >Benefits of being a guy on the job:
1- I can ignore the "gossipy" conversations and NOT be expected to care or participate, BUT if some topic piques my interest I can jump in...HAHA!!!
2-A "side" from number 1- Since I don't stay involved in the banter, they listen when I do want to speak
I dont have to participate in the loooooong and repetitive conversations about the weather, their kids, their problems, their husband, their boyfriend, or their friend whos having problem with their partner etc etc etc
Now how do I block out the other girls who do the above around me @ work..?? I think like call bells, I am getting immune to that noise :)
I am a new grad about to start in the ED, how do you stay away from gossip?
Gossip is like smoking, just don't do it. If other employees are gossiping just ignore it and remove yourself from the situation. One thing I like to keep in mind is that if I wouldn't feel comfortable saying something to someone's face, I won't say it behind their back. Trust me it will save you a lot of trouble and peace of mind to just steer clear of the drama.
When the chicks at work start talking about some new purse or shoes they see in a magazine they ask EVERY-flippin-BODY around if it is cute and would THEY buy it. I pull up a pic of a 1968 FJ40 and say "O-M-G...that is like so amazing...I want it, would I look cute in it?" They usually just roll their eyes at me and move on down to the other end of the desk and I get precious peace and quiet.
