In a moment of sheer frustration, I took a stand at work today, addressing a peculiar issue that had been plaguing me for the past 18 months. After trying every conceivable method to resolve it, I decided to take matters into my own hands—literally. During our all-staff meeting, I delivered an update on my projects while unabashedly caressing myself. Starting with my left hand, I gently explored my body before bringing my right hand into the mix, fully committing to the act.
Throughout my update, I maintained my composure; there were no dramatic gasps or laughter, just a calm demeanor as I continued discussing crucial work matters. The reactions from my colleagues varied—some struggled to suppress their laughter, while others averted their eyes. A few were in on the joke, having shared similar frustrations about our office environment. However, two gentlemen, whom I’ve dubbed “The Adjusters,” remained focused on my presentation, seemingly oblivious to my actions.
These Adjusters are the type who frequently fidget with themselves in a way that borders on the absurd. It’s almost as if they are in a constant battle with their own bodies. My boss, an accomplished Ivy League graduate, is among them. Despite his impressive credentials, he has a habit of adjusting himself during meetings, all while maintaining eye contact and acting as if nothing unusual is happening.
I tried various approaches to address this behavior, including leaving a note suggesting remedies for itching “down there” and making exaggerated reactions each time he adjusted himself. However, nothing seemed to work. Even a conversation with our HR representative turned comical when she panicked at the thought of addressing the issue directly.
So, I decided to give The Adjusters a taste of their own medicine. I felt it was time for them to grasp the discomfort they were causing. As I wrapped up my update, I watched them closely, hoping for a glimmer of realization. Instead, they engaged in a discussion in the hallway while continuing their fidgeting. It was disheartening.
I left the meeting feeling a mix of empowerment and defeat. Perhaps my approach was too subtle. Should I escalate my tactics to something more outrageous, like a full-on performance? Or should I simply let it go and find humor in the absurdity of the situation? Whatever the next step may be, I have to admit that I felt a sense of liberation in my boldness.

In summary, today was about making a statement and reclaiming my space. It might not have changed anything, but at least I took a stand, and that’s what matters.
