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

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.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
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.
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.

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.

You might have an ear infection, Susan, which would necessitate some antibiotics. So, I'd give a call today, see if anyone can take a look at it.

Thanks, Nora. I just called the office, and they're going to have the nurse call me.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I have to say, though, that this job I previously linked to in North Beach looks pretty sweet.
Dooooo eeeeeeeeeet.
Also, look at where the offices are. Very pretty! Near water! Tends to be sunny! NEAR ME!!
Ahem.

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.
It's a shame you told your cow-orkers what "shiz" meant because it could have been amusing to have them calling each other that during prayer time.

Work-mandated prayer time? Oh, not even. Tho' i would be totally obnoxious about it and set up candles and an altar. Perhaps with some icons of Voudoun loas.
