How's that time machine coming, MM?
Not so good, I...
...wait.

Spike's Bitches 41: Thrown together to stand against the forces of darkness
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

What is PIV sex?
It took me a minute, because I kept seeing it as "point of view" sex.
Well, kind of.
Haven't taken an Ativan yet, b/c I haven't eaten any solid food yet today. As soon as I eat something, I'll take an Ativan. I don't want to take it on an empty stomach.
One more new vent.
SERIOUSLY?!?!?
We just got an e-mail that starting tomorrow, once a week the company will be having a 20-minute PRAYER TIME IN THE OFFICE.
Isn't that, I don't know, ILLEGAL???
It's not mandatory, but -- SERIOUSLY?????????
(Go ahead, Scola; I know you have links all lined up.)
I'm assuming that the heathens among us who choose not to participate can take a 20-minute break at that time, because I am DAMN WELL not going to be punished with more work than my pious co-workers for choosing to not PRAY IN THE WORKPLACE.
(You think I could go and pray -- loudly -- to the Flying Spaghetti Monster?)
(How long after that do you think I'd still be employed?)

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
How about setting up a voudoun altar at your desk, for YOUR religion. Bring in some chickens to sacrifice. (Check the Scola links - you'd need them.)

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

You've dried up my source of links this week, Tep. Sorry.

Wow. That's like finding Brigadoon.
Ish.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I doubt it's illegal for a small, private company, but ICKICKICKICKICKICKICK.

I have to say, though, that this job I previously linked to in North Beach looks pretty sweet.

Big!Boss has even formulated SEVEN (count 'em!) "Article of Faith" to guide the prayer time. I just want to excerpt 2 here:
Article #1] [Company] will give praise to God the Father of Heaven and Earth.
Okay, awfully patriarchal, but more or less non-specific.
Article #2] [Company] will give thanks to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Until we get to this one. So it's a *Christian* prayer time.
The funniest part? (In the sense of if I don't laugh, I'll cry?) The only space in the office large enough for the number of people they expect to have is right outside one of the Jewish employee's office. I'm sure he'll LOVE hearing his co-workers praying to Jesus.

It is legal for a private company. It's not legal for them to use it as a basis for hiring/firing/employement decisions if you don't attend. The general advice for a company that wants to do this is to have it before or after work because of the pressure it places on employees who do not want to participate, and that they should allow employees of a different faith to hold their own meeting.
In other words, while it is legal, it may lead to religious discrimination and most employers should avoid those lawsuits by just not doing this.
So sorry, Steph.
