I came across an article about a guy whose former employer revealed his migraine condition in a request for a reference. And that's legal because the guy revealed his condition outside of a medical enquiry, so it didn't count as privileged medical information. The migraines in this instance were revealed because they'd cause him to miss work without calling in, so it wasn't just chit chat out of school--it was intended to convey information about their suitability as an employee, but damn...

I mean, I thought there's a tacit agreement to say "Jimmy worked here from fall of 2005 until 2010" and that's about all the detail most references were going into these days. The chronic ailment thing sounds totally like it's too much trouble to bother revealing to a stranger.

Obviously there's a million possibilities for why they were willing to be so open with a stranger, but that doesn't half make me paranoid about what's legal to disclose. Even if you think they wouldn't...to know they can is a bit scary.

Man--watching Revenge is pretty damned fun. I cannot tear myself away, and I haven't even worked out what it's conflicting with why I wasn't watching it this whole time. I love the shit I totally don't see coming (aka all of it, pretty much). Also, I swear it has more green screen than Once Upon A Time.

Does anyone watch Scandal?

I do but haven't seen this week.

to add, I mean that as anyone here who wants to rec it or comment on it?

N & G & I are on our own for the rest of the weekend. I think we are going to the science cube tomorrow for the science of gingerbread. And then what? I dunno. Republic of Pie definitely for scones. And playing at home.

I definitely have been enjoying Scandal, though there are some things I am reserving judgement on until we get resolution--they better pay off.

I watch Scandal, and enjoy it, but I wouldn't expect to like any of the characters.

Yeah--both this firm and the last one I worked for tell new employees up front that this is all they will say.

Oh, god.

I'm not going to make it through to Monday. I'm just not.

I've been at my parents for a day and a half and I'm going mad and need to get the frick out. And I totally would except for how in sure they would take it out of my hide (and, sorry, whatever inheritance I might eventually glean). But between Fox News and Extreme Homes as after-t-day viewing, I am at my wits end. It's hard to counter my moms planned parenthood views when my gut reaction is that she'd made herself an appointment in1978. That's shit you don't say to your mother at anytime of the year.

you will 'suela- just hang in

But it'll all be over then and you can relax, right Suela?
