What is with the Bitch pregnancy dreams?

I haven't had one in a while. All my dreams last night were porny. That rarely happens.

So you're the one knocking up all the dream Bitches then, Teppy?

Hec, or anyone with any California employment law knowledge, I'm asking the following for a friend: What is the legal definition of a hostile work environment (in CA)? Thanks.

There are a bunch of tests that need to be satisfied to qualify. The most obvious stuff would be quid pro quo "you give me sex and I'll give you a bonus" type, or Inappropriate Touching. Beyond that you need a consistant behavior which is tolerated by management which creates the hostile work environment. Examples being: constant racist or sexist jokes or comments, allowing blatantly sexual posters or calendars up. Things like that.

However, this is a pretty difficult standard to prove in court - you almost need to get it read in the minutes of official meetings. Or you need wide corroboration and documentation - which is difficult unless it's a group of individuals making the charge.

It's mostly the documentation issue that's tough.

Is it all sexual harassment related?

Water-soaked ickies removed and placed in garbage or other side of balcony. Check. Call placed to plumber. Check.

Feeling a bit better even though it's still leaking like craxy. I wanted to try turning the water off but when I Googled, there was a site talking about "TURN OFF THE GAS FIRST" and I was like "Holy shit, I ain't taking any chances. Better a water leak than an explosion." Hope I made the right call...

Yay! Thinking good thoughts for her.

Thank you! I'm sure she'll appreciate knowing that my invisible friends are sending good wishes too.

I've told you all about my mom's superstitians about snow, right? Well, it snowed Tuesday night to Wendnesday morning. So, she's pretty sure that's a good sign about this job. She's so funny... I wish she'd find a different good luck charm!

Cindy, the stuff Hec is talking about is quid pro quo harassment, which is tied in with hostile work environment, but not precisely the same thing. HWE does not need to be sexual harassment-- it can be any type of harassment.

If you can wait until I get to work, I can get you a very precise definition.

So you're the one knocking up all the dream Bitches then, Teppy?

Ooops.

Bad mornings! No biscuits!

I was wondering about you last night, Gud. How are you doing? Did your wife and children catch it, too?

The kids were sick before I was and my wife so far is okay.
