Me: 24 yr. old male

Everyone else down this stretch of offices and cubicles - Nine 30-55 yr. old females, most of which are in the 45-55 yr. old range.

One of 'em officially named it Menopause Row today. I shudder thinking of some of the stories I inadvertently had to hear outside my office.

And they wonder why my office door is pushed in most of the time. :)

While I'm certainly no expert on the subject, I think it's normal for groups of women to eventually have simultaneous periods.

They usually have to live together. I don't know if working together is enough time to synchronize or not.

That's not really relevant, though.

Yup, and as the lone male in the general area, I do fear for my life.

Yes. They've done studies on this before that shows that women who live together or work the same shifts tend to synchronize their cycles after a while.

Them: exactly the same as your office, except there are more, probably close to a dozen of them. But I'm in the corner by myself, so no stories.

Yes, interesting but not relevant.

They don't have access to the A/C controls, do they? :Q

LMAO, virtually EVERY day during the summer, (even today!), someone is complaining about how hot or how cold their office is. Then they come to me to bitch about it, and I have to tell them that the temperature doesn't really bother me.

Y'know, I just realized, I'm smack-dab in the middle of this all. 4 of 'em are to my left, three are in front of me, and 3 are to my right. Hmm, I guess that makes 10 of 'em, not 9. Even worse.

just out of curiousity, why does this happen? what's natures point here?
