wrong, wrong, wrong...

there is simply no other way to describe it - wrong is the only way i know how to describe what i'm about to tell you...

so i've been working at one of our city offices the last few weeks...in fact i usually work there every week on a wednesday but for the last fortnight whilst my boss has been away i've been here everyday, which means that every day when i walk in i am confronted by something that has caused me to feel increasingly disturbed and i have meant to blog about it before but i kinda forgot (you already know i've been pre-occupied...)

but this morning i am walking past this guys desk for maybe the 3rd time today and i am now compelled to write about it as it's got me wondering: am i the only one who is worked up by this sort of stuff or am i being super sensitive? am i mental? (don't answer that unless you can be nice!) am i the only one who finds this stuff inappropriate??? anyway, whatever is going on for me i'm gonna write about it and you can be the judge...

so the problem is this: a guy at work has photos of his children on his desk and i find them offensive...

of course you are reading this thinking 'what is her problem, don't all good dad's have photos of their children on their desks?'...yep, well all good dads probably do

but i ask you, do all good dads have photos of their young girls (and by young i mean neither of them is more than 7 years old) on their desks where they are a) wearing makeup b) posing in a rather sexual and frankly inappropriate ways and c) looking like child prostitutes????

methinks not! frankly i am incensed that someone (and perhaps it's not him but his wife) not only dresses/grooms their young girls in such a way but then feels perfectly comfortable having those photos (and i'm not just talking small discreet photos, nooooo big A4 sized glossies in rather imposing photo frames) on his desk, at work...

do you think that is right??
