P.C. Gone Wild?

This just strikes me as hilarious. So, apparently just certain departments or certain people receive recognition/celebrations/decorations on their birthdays...I won't go in to trying to figure that out right now because it really makes no sense anyway.

So, on to the hilarity. I will preface this by saying that I have no prejudices, ill feelings or any negative association with homosexuals whatsoever. As I have stated before, I have friends that are gay and "to each his own" is a favorite and oft quoted motto of mine. That aside, there is a lesbian in our accounting department and it happens to be her birthday today. She also happens to be one of the lucky few who has received the birthday accoutrement. I fear that those in charge of decorating her cube may have been very confused and/or nervous as to just how to do so without offending or misstepping in any way, shape or form. The result was utterly ridiculous, if I do say so myself. She also happens to be a hockey player and so her cube is doused with inflatable hockey sticks and a sign that says 'Hockey Birthday'. It is more masculine than any of the cubes I have previously seen decorated for the men in the building. I can hardly wait to see what the gift is. People, sometimes simple just is best.

Oh well, whatever gets me the free brownie and ice cream for birthday dessert.
