Hey Dan! I was hoping you'd let us know what was up. But, uh, what's up with the "wait until Monday" crap? First they say Thursday, then Monday... are they TRYING to get you to blow a gasket? The fact that your employer HAS an HR department means they are supposed to be up on protocol. Their behavior indicates that they are NOT. You are NOT being treated fairly here, and if you do a little research on this issue, you will be in a much better position to negotiate with THEM about what THEY ARE GOING TO DO to amend THEIR violations of YOUR rights. If they perceive that you have educated yourself on the laws concerning such matters, you will be able to get the balance of power back on YOUR side, dammit. If you need some links, just ask (ping on my mail thing on this site) Lots of hugs, laura

I refuse to lie to have a job!!!!!!
by Jesika income to find out, the things i was telling people about the products we were selling were lies.
i am not comfortable lying to people to sell a product.
i really don't like being lied to and then finding out later most everything i was told to do was bs.

{{Jesika}}}} Arghhh!!!! To think that you are having reservations says volumes about your integrity and good-heartedness. That being said, if you even think about returning to that job for ONE SECOND - well. Just don't... what they are doing is using sincerely-motivated people to supply them with FREE ADVERTISING. Any "sales" they actually acquire through YOUR ASS-BUSTING WORK is like, "Dude! Bonus!!" for them. They (The company - hereafter referred to as "SCUM") actually KNOW IN ADVANCE that their new hirees will get a clue in no time at all, and one by one, they will leave (the last to leave is the one they will laugh about the hardest). They prey on innocent, young, desperately in need of a job and ATTRACTIVE people. What they are doing is against the law, essentially, but it is so difficult to prosecute such cases that the police would rather just make things difficult for the poor victims who are employed by them. I was freaking out when I first started reading your post.... sounds so Moony-like that it's creepy. Something will come your way, hon, please hold on until then.... hugs, lauralisa

Storytime With Auntie JoJo
by joannadandy inonce upon a time there was a set of siamese twins, who looked nothing alike, had never been conjoined, had been born to different parents, and in different years.
their albino glow is what held them together, and kept them separate from the world.
the albino siamese twins were put in a travelling freak show.

Dear Auntie Jo Jo, I woke up this morning with that Chinese respiratory thing and feel like total crap. I was in the most heinous bitch mood. I needed a story (whiny kleenex baby tantrum moment) and then there it was! I laughed so hard it sent me into coughing spasms and now there's plegm all over my keyboard. Thanks alot. It should mix in well with all the coffee and beer already in there. Happy first day of spring!!!! You guys have wayyyy too much fun with cameras.... don't ever stop! love, laura

Here we go again - I think I'm toast this time
by DanTheMan inin september 2001, i had a brief relationship with a coworker.
nothing came of it, we weren't a match.
but i was attracted to her, and i still am somewhat disappointed that more didn't come of it.

Hey Dan, This sounds so completely f**ked up. People who file complaints as lame as this one make it extremely difficult for those who DO have LEGITIMATE complaints to find resolution for their issues. One important question: are you in a supervisory position over this person? If you are, things could get sticky for you. If you are not, she is wasting everyone's time, and should be counseled on HER behavior. Everyone has some kind of grievance; sometimes it is hard to articulate just exactly what it is about; you are probably stuck in a drama queen's 'drama' as LB aptly pointed out I hope you are ok now and will see this thing end soon... let us know, okay? laura

THE ANTHROPIC PRINCIPLE
by Nowhere ini found this in one of my course books.
it's quite interesting, added to a chapter dealing with dynamics of friedman-robertson-walker universes.
it looks to me like this man doesn't deny the possibility of a diety, and he is a respected scientist, no creation-pseudo-nonsens-scientist.

Hi JT,
You are, I know, right in the middle of the target zone. (I've listened to all of the warnings about duct tape and plastic and water and diapers and pets and.... my kids live in Fairfax, Virginia, and of course I am a big twist of anxiety.) Didn't you guys in DC just go through enough hysteria a couple of months ago with that freak sniper?
You, IMO, are a reliable source of information and insight AND, as usual, are RIGHT ON with your heads up about what "they" have said about P&S. Thanks for reminding us. If jws are feeling "encouraged" (gag me) about the onset of war and YES IT MUST MEAN ARMAGEDDON IS RIGHT UPON US!!!!!!!!!!! Then, well, shame on them. I read everything you post, and wish I could have met you when I lived in that area.
love to you and Mrs. JT

Senior Sex
by patio34 ini thought the following from from our posthuman future by francis fukuyama was very interesting: .
"one writer states: 'one of the factors inhibiting sexuality with ageing is undoubtedly the brain-washing that all of us experience which says that the older person is less sexually attractive.
' would that sexuality were only a matter of brainwashing!

LMAO @ LB - so true
Patio, don't you think that the percentage of people who have /don't have sex is proportionate, regardless of their age? Of course, we must take jw's out of the equation; they never have sex, unless they're unmarried PO's kids.
I wouldn't know a thing about middle aged sex. I'm barely past 29.3.141592...

Hi DJ
I remember you well and fondly. Have you moved recently, or did your kids change schools locally?
Wow. I'm so sorry about your father's illness. My mother died of a brain tumor several years ago ... are you caring for him at home? You'll be in my thoughts.
btw, It's as electric here as ever !
Take care, lauralisa
