Don't ask me how something like that could happen. It just happened. OK?
I was the victim here, remember?
You want full detail of the incident? OK. Give me a chance to describe the environment. See if you can picture this.
I work in one of these chicken coop offices. You know the type. Everyone has their own little cubicle with walls high enough to cut down on sound and to shield everyone from everyone else.
You get to work, you enter the maze, you settle down for the day and no-one knows if you're even there unless they come to the cubicle to check. My particular cubicle was on a dead-end corridor, mine being the last door there. People just don't pass my cubicle so I don't get interrupted by chance passers-by. Anyone there is there for a reason. Generally they have a problem and hope I'll have a solution.
Clothing wise, I favour miniskirts, lacy blouses and long boots. They really set my legs off. No-one cares what I wear to work. Like I said, I'm tucked away, so I'm not a distraction.
Sexual harassment is frowned upon. Anyone who tries it gets a single warning. They take heed or they're out the door. Management are hot on this. I've never been harassed, and neither have any of my friends that I know of. That's part of the reason this all took me by surprise.
Now what happened is, I had this stack of folders I was working my way through. They were neatly stacked to one side while I was working on one and I got this phone call. I answer the phone and I'm chattering away, trying to answer some idiot's inane questions, and I needed some stuff from one of the folders. The bottom one of course, so I shoved the rest of them even further to the side while I fished out the information I wanted.
By the time I'd finished the call, I had stuff all over the desk, and I had to sort it out again. So I gathered up the folders and stacked them where they'd originally been. I found that I'd just dumped the phone on the desk after the call, so I grabbed it and slammed it back on its base.
