This is random
Background:
1.) I do translation work.
2.) I'm one of the least senior people in the office, so I often get the crappy ones.
3.) No one at work knows I'm gay. This is SOP in Japan.
Today one of the coordinators at work comes up to me and says, "I've got a translation for you from a pretty sketchy client. If you don't want to do it, just let me know and I'll find someone else."
She hands me the document, and it's for a Japanese gay porn company whose works I have, uh ... "sampled" in the past. Now I have to do a good translation of this document while simultaneously avoiding all perception of being knowledgable in the field.

Re: This is random
More seriously, would anyone in the office know if its a good translation or not?

If they did, I'm sure they wouldn't say so out loud :x
Plus, the person in charge of it is a woman and probably not an Elmo.

Well, not the porn -- the website.
So basically I get paid to look at gay porn websites for the next two days.

Re: This is random
TBH, I'm not yet seeing the downside being in your "position" atm.
2 days of free porn web browsing while being paid sounds nothing short of awesome...
If you're desperate to maintain the perception of "He's gay but doesn't show it", just find a word and as her for help, when she blushes apologize for not understanding but it's a little out of your depth. Once you get her giving you a reasonable answer just go ahead and do the rest making sure to thank her for the help after.
I have a sudden urge to sing "If you're happy and you know it"...

Or after translating just state loudly "Oh so THAT's what a reach around/felching/pile driver is"

This thread made my day.

Re: This is random
When you hand in your assignment, flip it out and rub one one out (preferablly into her eye or hair) to prove your manlyness
Umm, doesnt sound like theres an implication that she knows your gay, but more like, "im not to sure if this guy is comfortable looking at porn for work"

Paranoid option; I think it's a test to see if you are gay, rather than asking out right.
I bet they have office wide betting pool on it.
