[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.

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Teppy, wtf?

I know. I feel like I'm in the middle of such a confluence of kerfuckery that if a woman walked through with a cat on her head [namecheck: Fellini], I wouldn't even blink.

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.

Tep, not to be litigious, but I would start documenting any instances of negative comments or retaliatory behavior based on your not attending prayer time.

Not to dis religion, but pressure to participate in religious activities at work can constitute harassment.

Oh, yeah. I mean, I truly don't actually expect anything overt; but I certainly plan to cover my ass if the need arises.

Steph's company has me going O.o and I never do that here. At least I don't type it out.

In other news, the couple that I went down to the County Clerk's office with yesterday was profiled in today's New York Times dining section.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.

ugh Teppy. I think that would be a thing that pushed me over the edge to quitting.

I had full-color stereo-sound, smell-o-vision, tactile dreams that I was still together with my ex all night long. Now I feel all disoriented and weird.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Hivemind medical question:

At what point should I call my doctor over an earache? I've had low level allergy/cold symptoms for days, and today my left ear itches, keeps feeling like it needs to be popped, and actually hurt when I was chewing some mildly tough food at breakfast. Which all sounds minor, but normally my ears don't bug me at all with allergies/colds.
