Story of the "too small" volunteer shirt There's a lady I work with, "Bertha," who is a self proclaimed "fat." She is actually beyond fat, but that's the term she uses. The other day I even happened to see her at my local grocery store abusing a poor scootypuff by sitting on it. She views herself as better than everyone else and is very condescending sometimes. Bertha is a know it all and proud of her "superior work ethic." Aka, she sits at her desk ALL day and is therefore available WHENEVER anyone needs her. Unlike people like me who actually leave my desk (gasp!) to take walking breaks, lunch breaks, go to other coworker's desks to talk, etc.  With this background, I'll launch into today's work drama: We have a big volunteer event coming up that our boss encouraged us to attend in a team meeting. We all nod in agreement that it would be good (it's on your own time, so few of us want to work overtime to make up for our support of the event). Anyway, Bertha starts laughing and says that she was planning on it but when she got to the end of registration, the site asked for her t-shirt size. She said they obviously didn't want her to volunteer since the size options were only from a Small to an X-Large. My boss has this odd "professional smile" on his face as she continues her rant on discrimination and diversity... at the end he agrees with her and says something to diffuse the situation.  I couldn't help myself....I'm pretty small and told her it was indeed not good the range of sizes were narrow. I said I wished they would accommodate me more and have an option for children's sizes as a Large sized child's shirt would probably fit me best. She was annoyed when she responded with, "at least even a too big shirt would still fit you, even if it was a dress!" I replied that it sure wouldn't be flattering on me, though! After that, the conversation was over and we continued our meeting.  Her rant was seriously the most entertaining part of the meeting...I wish I could remember her eloquent words! Ha.
