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?)
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.)

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

Wow. That's like finding Brigadoon.
Ish.

ICKICKICKICKICKICKICK.
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.
I doubt it's illegal for a small, private company
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.
I had a job interview where the employer asked me what positions I held in the Mormon Church, and when I said I wasn't a member he ended the interview. Needless to say, as soon as I got home I called the temp service who had sent me to him to report his ass. The temp service was horrified and promised that the employer was going to be hearing from them very quickly.
Granted, he was older and this was 20 years ago, but there are still twit-heads out there who haven't gotten the memo.
