"Your employment contract does not say that I have to."

Doochnozzle fucktard.

For me, I wouldn't want to have a sash. I actually like the process of getting to know another person, having all those points revealed in their own time.

I like this. Also, my sash would likely be more a toga. By the time folks could read it all I would be far far away. Perhaps my sash should read

The longer you know me the more stuff you'll find out. Let's find out more about each other.

I honestly never gave much thought to the awkwardness of coming out at work. Most every place I have worked had gay people. Good grief, as if being someplace new isn't tough enough. Perhaps the most awkward thing I have had to tell people was that my late DH died of AIDS. Mixed reactions there, but an instant clue as to whether we are going to get along. Some times I chicken out and say he died of cancer, because also true.

Empress' Ex-Boss: "Why did you stab me with 40,000 sporks!"

Empress: "My employment contract didn't say I couldn't."

"Your employment contract does not say that I have to."

God DAMN what a dishonorable sneaky scumbag. I fervently hope his business tanks without you.

And I hope he calls you for help so that you can say "My employment contract did not say that I have to."

Atheist -- yes I eat babies, do you have any?

I could have one that says,

"Atheist -- no, it's the Jews who eat babies."

"Your employment contract does not say that I have to."

Damn, asshat is just too nice of a word for this guy. I'm so glad you don't have to work with him anymore.

"Your employment contract does not say that I have to."

I am so glad you are out of there.

I am so angry right now I could spit.

Aims, it might be worth looking into Michigan's law on that-- just a quick google found this:

17. Does an employer have to pay an employee unused vacation if the employee is terminated or quits during the vacation year?

1. The answer to this question depends on the employer's policy. If the employer's policy accrues vacation on hours worked, then the employer must pay the "vacation accrued" through the termination date. If the employer's policy, however, provides that vacation only accrues on a fixed date, e.g. anniversary date, or the end of the calendar year or that vacation does not accrue and terminating employees are not entitled to vacation pay, then the employer does not have to pay unused vacation for the year in which the employee is terminated or resigns.

Sounds like the motion has passed. This council here by declares the workday for Thursday to be over!

Too bad word did not spread sooner. I am home early from work, not because of the CPR class I was supposed to take tonight but because my appointment for the human bite wound conflicted with the class. Yes, I had to restrain someone today, and while I was concentrating on her feet, she got her teeth sunk into my wrist. Bleh. Fuss and bother. She turned my glasses into origami. That's ok, I need new glasses anyway, and the nice, brilliant lady at the optical place I took them to tonight to get them unpretzelled did such a good job that they are now straighter than they have been in four years.

Teppy, I'm glad you are mostly de-puffed.

vw, enjoy your weekend with your folks.

I'm not a big fan of PDA. Well, ok, I am a big fan of longing gazes and hand-holding - and bonus points if the couple has wrinkles and grey hair. But necking not so much. And who says "necking" any more? But now I am torn between thinking "get a room" at gay couples because that is what I do at straight ones while keeping a neutral expression on my face, or deliberately giving them a friendly smile to be supportive. The thing is, I want to live in a world where giddy teenagers with no tact and little sense can gross me out regardless of their orientations, then develop what I would consider a sense of decorum. I don't want people to have to hide their affection out of fear.

So you know what, next time I have the chance, I will give a couple of gay cuddlers a friendly smile.
