Offended
Today, I was offended. I was at work talking to a fairly respected man about social programs etc and he was telling me about a social program he used to work in many years ago, he said he did modeling on the side, so it was kind of extreme going from one job to the next. I said, "Modeling?" and he said, yes, I was a nude model about 100 pounds ago and then he went on with the conversation. To him, he seemed to be mentioning a statement of fact, but I was floored that he would casually tell me this. I poker-faced my way through the conversation and then went and hid in the back until he left. I told my supervisor what he had said because she could see I was flustered and she seemed like she may have been more amused/disturbed by my reaction than by the fact that this guy just told me openly that he was a nude model. Sometimes, I don't know how to live in this world......

Just get over it - - -
LOL - - - - sorry, I couldn't help myself.
That's a weird thing to tell someone for sure.

Sometimes I wonder how people normally react to these things. Maybe I don't want to be normal.

Re: Offended
It is weird sometimes how people that live in the same world can have such completely different lives. I'm sometimes floored by things that people accept as just completely normal.

I watched a movie called Time Changer once. Sometimes I feel like the guy in that movie. http://www.timechangermovie.com/

Re: Offended
I feel like if I told people in my workplace what happened, they would all laugh at me and say I've lived in a box for too long.

Re: Offended
I would have said, "Really? You're kind of ugly for me to believe that."

He immediately covered that by saying 100 pounds ago.

He said he was modeling for talented, young men who were aspiring to be great artists.
