Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

So not a lawyer, but the way it's always been explained to me is more or less: flea's boss was walking across the lobby of the building because she has to be here for her job, so even if it's not a tragic book-lifting incident, it's still related to her work. If she'd broken her wrist at a wild football tailgate on campus, well, she happened to be on looniversity property, but it wasn't part of her job.

Also, the thought of flea's boss tailgating is going to give me weeks of amusement. Enough so that it may be the only reason I bothered to post my total lack of knowledge.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Police charged pop singer Boy George with false imprisonment on Tuesday after he allegedly chained a man to a wall at his London home.

What is the world coming to?

That's a good site. I would suggest changing the definition of "occur within" to:

"meaning that the employee was engaged in a work-related or incidental activity that he would normally be expected to do as part of his course of employment."

He didn't want him to come and go?

Sounds like actual imprisonment to me. False imprisonment would be if you said the door was locked, but it actually wasn't and they could really leave anytime.

Dear Former Supervisor,

Hi. I understand that you've moved on to bigger and better things, and that I have to take over some duties for you now that you're no longer a basement dweller.

It would be nice, though, if you'd actually DOCUMENT THE PROCESS that I'm trying to take over, rather than feeding me information piecemeal and then telling me I'm doing it wrong WHEN YOU SHOWED ME ONCE -- FREAKING ONE TIME -- how to do this really incredibly complicated god damn report.

You're a nice guy. Stop making me fantasize about choking you to death while shrieking about TPS reports, mmkay?

grrrar,
shrift

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Thanks for the workers' comp help. This is what happens when they give me a Powerpoint presentation for source.

I am so jealous of your Powerpoint presentation, Dana. I am trying to recreate something I saw once two weeks ago and it's making me want to kill someone even more than usual.

You wish you had a Powerpoint presentation!

I wish I had lunch. Stupid clock, move faster!

No, false imprisonment is actual imprisonment without any right to do so under the law. The "false" part is not having the right to do so. Your example of lying to someone about whether or not they were imprisoned could constitute false imprisonment if it was reasonable that the "prisoner" would believe the door was locked.
