[QUOTE="Guacamole, post: 968961, member: 1606"] It's happened a number of times, and frankly it can get to be a problem. Case in point. I used to sit next to this artist chick in our cubicle and she used to take my books and look at the cool pictures. Eventually she started asking me if I would write a book so she could draw the pictures. When she left, we ended up with a men's office and a women's office. In the men's office (we are teachers by the way) the computer teacher is just as big a gamer as I am, 50% of the time if you go into the lab and look behind his desk he is playing either with a game or with etools. If he leaves his gamebooks out on a desk I am likely to take it and read it and the same goes if I leave mine out so we keep our stuff hidden from each other out of jealousy and greed. The other English teacher is into drama and acting and creative writing. I have showed him some of my games and he thinks the stuff is pretty cool. The three of us are Christians btw, though we don't work at a christian school- juvenile detention facility. We don't bother people when we are talking about our games and plays and writing and what not- only when we are having a heated theological debate. Also, sometimes I sing and that seems to put people on edge. The other guy in men's office is a retired airforce sergeant who thinks the word "gaming" means gambling, horses and golf. He knows we play games, but as long as we let him drone on about being mechanic on the stealth bomber he doesn't give us grief although he has been known to look over our shoulders and say, "Are you sure you don't worship the devil?" The women rarely come into our cubicle. It may be the trap-like piles of books and computer manuals precareously perched on the corner of a desk, or the evil looking books on our desks. I don't know... Alot of people at church know I'm into gaming. Since I still teach sunday school it doesn't seem to be a problem. I don't go out of my way to talk about it with people at church because I don't need the headache. It's bad enough trying to weasel out of donut and coffee committee without having to explain why I think DnD is ok.... [/QUOTE]
