Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I'd imagine civility in the workplace relies on a lot of nicety and politeness and use of euphemism. I'd prefer "Don't be an asshole".

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

In this case I sorta picture the opposite of civility as cave-person or road-warrior society.

So I'd imagine they'd teach you of the evils of Thunderdome. "Remember, when two enter, two still leave."

Civility in the workplace. Well, my house is my workplace. And typically I'm the only one here. So I have to be nice to myself? Meh. I'm a bitch and that ain't going to change.

You should totally be nice to yourself, Suzi.

"Remember, when two enter, two still leave."

I just love this.

I would hope things like spit cups, changing tp, washing your own dishes, and the elimination of bigoted language would be covered.

What they would tell me: less cursing, more smiles, no rolling eyes.

What I bet is covered: nothing specific, generalities of treating people with respect and key words to emphasize any federal law on bias or harassment in the workplace.

Then I bet we all have to sign a form saying we were given the course so corporate has it if any complaints are registered.

-t - I am a mean taskmaster. I don't dress appropriately, I cuss, I avoid talking on the phone if at all possible, I fart, and I typically have something on the tv as background noise.

I'm sure you are firm but fair, Suzi. And the rest is acceptable in your workplace community. Local standards and all.
