Harvey Weinstein, Kevin Spacey, Matt Lauer, Al Franken, Donald Trump, David T. Lancaster ...
Wait, David T. Lancaster? Yeah me. I’m just waiting for the ax to drop. It was fall 1993 and I admit to flirting with this cute girl at work. I used to leave her notes on her desk and made sure I sat next to her in staff meetings. I even tried to steal a kiss at the 1993 Christmas party.
I am waiting for the accusation to come. I’ll have to admit it, I’m guilty. Of course I married that girl in the summer of 1994, but still that girl could doom me.
Look, I understand that sexual harassment is a serious subject and those that really, really sexually harass a co-worker should get what they deserve — but this new way of doing things is going to kill office romances.
What is a fella to do if he likes a female he works with? In today’s new world, I would suggest that fella go on a dating site or something and not take the chance with the co-worker.
Now if I vacuum the carpet the first time my wife asks me, she might not turn me in. I hope.
David T. Lancaster, Murray
