Oh, I certainly don't mind. But seriously: yes, 95% of erogenous zones are in the brain, or something like that. Which is why there's a certain fun to be had in being in an open-plan office in that state of, um, 'mind'. It's probably just as well for the sake of my sanity, though, that today was a day when the sexiest person in the office wasn't in. [Cnegvphyneyl fvapr fur'f zl obff.]
I'm not avoiding TMI out of embarrassment or prudishness (I didn't think I was really avoiding TMI very much at all, unless you count tucking things behind a cut and not going into details about why I'm not big on gusset-typing [as Jo Brand calls it]) -- more just because it gets boring and some people really don't want to hear it. Yes, they can stop reading, but still.
And I'm not really worried about it. More just curious. It's funny to think of all the other people at work feeling like that from time to time. "Naked beneath our clothes", etc. And if I really need a mental cold shower I can always read some of the documents on the Finance Department's website. :-)
It's only ROT-13 -- how do you manage with uk.misc?! There's a sekrit decoder ring here (http://www.rot13.com/), but I will mail a translation if you prefer...
At times I've skipped over about a quarter of UK misc, on the assumption that Welsh is perfectly acceptable on a board intended for the entire United Kingdom.
Fixed frame-shifts, I can read them by eye (Cxrkdwhz fhudr ld z mzstqzk zcuzmszfd) providing they are within five letters or so (the natural limit of visual-cortex arithmetic) but rotating shifts are sufficiently challenging, and I'm sufficiently lazy, that I haven't bothered.

No, No, and No.

Dear God, No.

Meanwhile, I can see why you encrypted that!
