Why am I still employed?

Remember the chair dancing episode from a few months back? Well, this may be comparable.

Over at Man vs Clown a few days ago, Peter Lynn posted a "safe for work" video of a very fit (and clothed) woman pole dancing in what I assume is her pole dancing nook at home. Naturally, those of us who can't imagine lifting ourselves horizontally across a vertical pole are amazed by this feat of athleticism. In fact, this notable video came up in discussion between myself, Karissa and Jeremy (the IT guy). Since Jeremy had not seen this gymnastic marvel, we fired up the website in my office to have a look. Like any good host, I turned my monitor toward the other two so they could see.

Incidentally, this position for the monitor ensures that it can be seen from the hallway.

Within seconds, the chairman of our company rounded the corner to ask one of us a question. For a moment, he seemed a bit confused: why would we all be watching Daorcey's monitor? And then, in a classic double-take, he focused his eyes on the pole dancer I was sharing with the office.

Our chairman could be described my many as grandfatherly (I suspect that may be how his grandchildren describe him). He's certainly the type of man from whom one can learn a great deal--a potentially brilliant mentor. I really enjoy working with him and picking his brain from time to time.

And now it appeared as though I was sharing something vaguely pornographic to him and the rest of the office. My face may have reddened as I turned the screen back into normal position while he asked the question he'd come to ask.

Honest, the woman is quite athletic.
