Taj Mahal - 11 April 2003

11 April 2003

If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.

--Gen. Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett

Kathy was telling me about the Taj Mahal today. How it was created in Persia. But Persia doesn't exist anymore because now Persia is a part of India. But, back in the 1800's (when Persia was still around, of course), the Taj Mahal was created by the King of Prussia (it means the same thing as Persia, just a fancier way of saying it) for one of his many dead mistresses because she had eaten some poisoned meat that was meant for him, thus saving his life and being deserving of a monument. Since her first name was Taj and her last name was Mahal, he called the building (which was built in 2 years) the Taj Mahal.

First off, Persia is made up of the Middle East area; it's nowhere near India. Secondly, the Taj Mahal was created in India and not Persia/Prussia. Thirdly, it was done in the 1600s. Fourthly, The wife did not die by eating poisoned meat. Fifthly, why am I even bothering to continue trying to explain her idiocy? She is insane!

When I first started working here. I had my suspicions that Kathy may be gay. I wasn't sure. I didn't particularly care. Then, on my three-month review date, my boss, McFly, asked me if he could request something of me confidentially. I said sure because I'm a kiss-ass.

He asked me, since I share an office with Kathy, if she mentioned anything about being gay. He said that our corporation supports partnerships and provides for them, but he doesn't know how to approach Kathy about it. I told him I wasn't sure; she had never said anything specific, but I would see what I could do about letting her know.

Then, at the Holiday party, Turtle, WindWalker (WW), and I were all talking. Somehow, Kathy came up. Probably because she flaked on the party and didn't show up. Something EVERYONE knows to NEVER do if you want to succeed in a company is to not show up to an office party.

Turtle mentions that she has a question that she was wondering if either WW or I knew the answer. WW jumps in and says that it's probably the same question about Kathy that he has. I start to laugh and I say that not only are they having questions about Kathy's orientation, but also McFly!

So, we spend a few minutes discussing the fact that she has lived with her female roommate for 5 years and spends every moment talking about her "roommate". She has no interest in guys and is practically raising her roommate's daughter with her roommate. There are so many other things that point out her gayness.

None of us particularly care; we just think it's stupid for someone to pretend to be someone they're not. Well, that and it allows us to gossip about her more. Who cares what the topic is.
