Is it Jehovah's Witnesses?
My cousin has an officemate that is a Jehovah's Witness and her office has run into the same thing.
I hope you don't think that I just come over for the spells and everything. I mean, I really like just talking and hanging out with you and stuff.

Jehovah's Witness? I know they cannot say the pledge or participate in birthday celebrations at school (or at least couldn't when I was in 2nd grade)

hm, maybe... I don't know. But it sounds like a possibility, if you know of a similar situation.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
Man, I am a stone bitch.
I get back to work today for the first time since my granddad died. I put all my stuff down, shuffle in the kitchen to make some oatmeal, and when I come back to my desk, Incompetent!Boss is waiting with a piece of paper.
He doesn't say hello, doesn't ask how I am, etc. The first words out of his mouth to me are, "Well, we're behind on [xyz], and so your top priority today has to be [abc]...."
And I interrupted, because I am a STONE BITCH, and said, "Thanks, really, for the condolences on my dead grandfather."
Which stopped him cold, and he blinked at me for a minute, and then said, "Uh. Sorry. Now, back to what I was saying...."
I'm not an evil needy demon; I just expect the bare minimum of politeness from people. (Though, now that I think about it, I wasn't polite to Incompetent!Boss, so I'm a bit of a hypocrite. In addition to being a stone bitch.)
It's a damn carnival here, I tell ya. Every freaking day is a carnival.

You're not a hypocrite or a stone bitch. I'm cheering you for standing up to the asshattery. Whoo-hoo! Comeuppance!

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Wow. Incompetent!Boss is really raising the bar for asshattery. What a wanker.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Stony, possibly, but not bitchy. Incompetent!Boss desperately needed a single cold slap across the face, and you delivered.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
What Nora said, that is inexcusable behavior from your boss. Good for you!

I've become predictable, haven't I?
I prefer to think of it as sweet.
Also, one of the jobs you listed in the past was for a sex toy editor -- it doesn't get much better than that!
t edit Plus today's PORN EDITOR, which is really tempting, if only for the announcement I could send into my alumnae magazine....
