Geez that does not bode well Dana!
Pride was this weekend, and while I did way less partying than in years past, I’m still tired and achy like in years past. Darn passage of time!
It's all about the coat.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
I figure if I'm important to them, why don't they have a human to answer the phone.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
The second wait was less than 10 minutes, fortunately. Then the issue took a while to resolve, but at least there was different hold music.

The new overlords prohibit harassment based on gender, sexual orientation, gender expression, and gender identity. I realize it's a bare minimum, but I'll take it.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
Do they specify what harassment they do permit?

There was not a section in the employee handbook about permitted harassment. Presumably due to legal advice.

Perhaps it's permissible to harass everyone working directly for you as long as it's everyone.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Wrong opinions on cilantro and muffulettas, I assume. You know, the usual.

Technically we supposedly got that protection from the Supreme Court a couple years ago, but I would not count on that with todays courts, and yay for them putting it in there—I recall when I started at my company sexual orientation was NOT listed as protected. (I think it is now, especially since we merged with a larger company)
Why am I feeling SO nauseated today? Yay for having zofran on hand I hope (hasn’t kicked in yet). I have plenty of work to do and definitely don’t want to do it even though I took it pretty easy this past weekend for Pride.
Call with a lawyer later about mom’s estate—it seems they set up a trust but then never put any of their assets in it. So gotta figure out what we can do with anything with just moms name on it.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Got back last night from Florida, a bit later than expected. There was a problem with communication with air traffic control in that there was none, which affected Maryland and part of Virginia. First they were going to land in Raleigh to await further details, but there were enough planes there already that it would have been hours before we could get a gate. We ended up at a gate in Charleston, where we sat for an hour and a half, at least, before we got the go-ahead to fly to Baltimore. Got home after 10:30.
