Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Chocolate, Razors, Nail File, Tampons

Posted by Cienna Madrid on Tue, Oct 30, 2012 at 12:08 PM

Today I opened my desk drawer and was confronted with a terrible caricature of womanhood.

All that's missing from this picture is my biological clock.

UPDATE: My keyboard is now covered in chocolate and errant hair trimmings.

Hey I have those same razors but in orange.

ACK!

All the others I understand, but razors at work?

I saw the headline and thought that was what you were planning to give out to trick or treaters.

I assume the culprit has already received a complimentary crotch punch?

Tampons make great first aid patches if you're shot, and the razor will slice them open.

The chocolate will make you feel better.

And the nail file will help you with the zombie hordes.

Every woman has a drawer like that. Mine also has Midol.

I saw Mr. Constant slinging those candies around yesterday during a regrettably necessary visit to the office. He tried to tempt me with them even though my pancreas does not work properly.

It needs yogurt, though.

@3, the razors were for Goldy's back. (His summer look is most mammals' winter look.)

And a copy of Dirty Dancing.

Usually, I'd expect a "HORRORS" tag on any post featuring a picture taken inside that office, but this seems reasonably tidy to me.

It's the Trick-or-Treating nightmare our parents warned us about.

@2,
Nice!

I assume you've got Tampons in there but no Vodka?

Dang it, I guess I have to apologize to grandma for not believing in her razor blades and candy warnings.

I assumed until I saw Goldy's post that these items had been left in your drawer by some other person to caricature your life, not that you'd realized upon opening your drawer that you'd created in your drawer a caricature of your own life. At least one other commenter (#5) shared this interpretation.

Due to word wrap, I read the title as "Champons, razors, nail file" then realized my mistake.

In other news, I just came up with a truly great name for a line of tampons...
