Spanko at Work

Whilst I have never spanked a work colleague or client…
…OK, only once…
…I do enjoy making toppish comments in meetings, with a perfectly innocent expression on my face. (”Kinky? That? What do you mean?”).
Two such observations cropped up in the past 48 hours. First, to the delegate who persisted in chatting about the *most* inappropriate topics to her neighbour as I was trying to re-start a course after a break. She’d been warned; it took the following to restore her concentration:
If you’re not going to behave yourself, I’ll have to send you out of the room.
And then a dinner meeting this evening with a colleague (and long-standing friend) who was accompanied by her partner. She made a very brattish comment - inevitably I reacted with:
Behave yourself, young lady.
The blush and the glance she threw in her partner’s direction (so similar to Haron’s expression when hearing a startle) left me in little doubt that she was familiar both with the phrase, and the consequences.
-------Now you can buy a book of the best entries from "The Spanking Writers".
Damn! I wish I were a delegate. I’d have melted on the spot.
Imagine that couple’s astonishment when they log in on a lazy Saturday to see what Abel and Haron are up to, only to find themselves featured in today’s installment. You see, dear, he exclaims triumphantly, I told you there was something kinky about that friend of yours!
LOL. I was at a meeting last week, and one man asked a series of questions, very politely but persistently. Then he and his manager exchanged looks and both got up and walked to the door. The jokes started flying. “Taking him to the woodshed?” “Just ignore the screams.” “This will be over soon.” The employee in question is over 6 feet tall, well over 200 pounds. The manager somewhat less.
It was a startle!!

At least hearing phrases like that is a rarity for you lucky people! I spend my entire school life being refured to as “young lady,” and routinly threated with punishment and dicipline and this is from *vanilla* people! It’s really very difficult and ends up with my giggling at the most inoppurtune moments.
Evie: Have you seen ‘Northern Compass’? I saw it last night and my little boy and I loved it. Lara is at a college and they are trying to convince her that her education is important. She misses classes and is defiant. Her uncle refers to her as a miscreant (the uncle is Daniel Craig. Enough said.) and tells her to “try to behave yourself”. She is always in trouble and hates people telling her what to do. But consequently she saves the day - literally she saves the life of her uncle and all the lost children. It is her defiance that is crucial. Now I don’t mean to get yourself into trouble! Rather, recognise it for the game that it is, get your qualification onto the next level, and allow your defiance to shine a bit later on. OK? (she says, as she quietly gets back to what she SHOULD be doing….)
Ohmygod Rob that sounds like *such* Good… I’m totaly going to find it and watch it, mind you, you had me at the words “Daniel Craig..” And really good advise.
See? Being defiant is a good thing.
Not that, being such a perfect angel and all, I would know anything about being defiant…
BTW my little guy found the novel tonight in his sister’s room. It was very popular back in 1999 she told me recently. The novel is even better than the movie. The uncle is really frightening and the butler, the novel says, has already beaten Lyra (not Lara as I said previously) twice before. But she is really gutsy and hides in the Master’s waiting room (Yes! They actually call it that) to save her uncle because she has seen another guy put poison into the wine. She knows if she is found in there (strictly forbidden) she will be “severely punished” by the uncle but she is used to that, it is written. How good is that!
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm Daniel Craig,enough said!
I need to read this book! (Actually, I’ve tried to get into it, but didn’t like the writing style - better than the dreadful Potter, but still not my thing. Even if the subject matter sounds hot!).
Abel: I probably would never have opened it. Not my thing at all. But the movie was so visually pleasing that I started reading it and in the first chapter anyway, the written word was as it appeared on the screen and it seemed all right. Having said that I probably won’t read any more. I was just wetting the little guy’s appetite for the inevitable moment when all of Harry’s life will have been read and he will need to fill the void with something else.
