There was a woman, around 50, with a great hourglass figure, fun, smartass personality. She dressed to show off her figure, but didn't look like a streetwalker or anything. The three male, older owners of the company loved how she looked (and this worked in my favor b/c I realized that although the official dress code was business suits, I could totally get away with knit shirts instead of blouses, which is way more comfortable for lunchtime speedwalking--and I could ditch the pantyhose--b/c although I was dressed casually, it was very conservative compared to how she and one of her other coworkers dressed).<BR/><BR/>The kicker, though, was the Halloween party (during our lunch break), when she wore a tight plastic/vinyl sexy cop uniform, and the innuendos were flying. Everyone was laughing and having a great time, but I felt so bad for her b/c I had to wonder how much of it was just her having fun, and how much was her playing along to keep her job? (No idea if she was great at her job or not; she was definitely the life of the office, though, and a genuinely nice woman; it was just a potentially super creepy scenario.)<BR/><BR/>BTW, love your ending!
