Manstrual...
...I like the concept.

That's a good point actually
I feel, in the name of equality, (or something like that) that I should be entitled to four or five days a month during which I can be stroppy, irritable and generally unapproachable on the grounds of hormonal imbalance.

(Just because I find I'm about as welcoming as a brick to the bollocks every so often and I could do with an excuse...)

"Boss, I can't come in today. I'm sick."
"What's up, Crow?"
"Man's problems."

"Man's problems?"
"Yes, well I'm a mite hungover so I slept through my alarm, and yet I've still got a Morning Glory that could have sunk the Bismarck. If I even try to get into work in time, I won't have time to deal with this and you do not want to be anywhere near me if I haven't dealt with it."
"I don't think this is really a serious reason for not coming into work..."
"Believe me, it is deathly serious. Now be a good chap and send your daughter over to my address pronto."

I really hope
that somewhere, somewhen, there exists employment legislation on how to deal with an aroused employee.

16.1 The employee is aroused.
16.1.1 The aroused employee is female. No action necessary; air freshener and upholstery cleaner as appropriate.
16.1.2 The aroused employee is male. Compassionate leave may be granted until such time as a diamond could no longer be cut on the engorged member, or the employee has managed to relieve a pressing bladder without micturating all over the washroom facilities.
