  Here we go again - I think I'm toast this time

  in 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.

  Where I work we've had tons of meetings on sexual harassment and the implications of it. Lawyers have come and spoke to us in large numbers saying don't do this, don't do that. It appears that some of us need to walk on egg shells all the time. There's one guy in our maintenance area who has a particular problem with women though. He has a terrible reputation of saying things to women that are totally inappropriate, including me, although I have never turned him in because I always thought sexual harassment was when your job was on the line if you didn't give services to a boss.

  This particular guy has been suspended twice for short periods of time w/o pay for saying things to different women at where I work. He was also banned from a restaurant near our office because he was driving the waitresses crazy with his tacky comments and all the waitresses refused to wait on him. I have been told through the grapevine that if one more woman complains about this guy, he will be fired. I told him bluntly never to talk to me again about anything and that seems to have done the trick. He may call me to ask me about work, but no small talk is done. This guy's just a real perv.

  Dantheman, I hope you don't lose your job. This is a terrible time to lose one's job, and besides, I think they would fight you on getting unemployment benefits.

  Never date a coworker. I got engaged to one and when we broke up, I had to quit because he was making me crazy by showing up at my desk saying things, like I am sorry. I was reduced to tears most of the time (the breakup wasn't my idea) and I ended up quitting because my sanity was involved.

  Good luck to you Dantheman!

  i don't about you all but being raised a jehovah's witness was so ingrained in me that going to the memoral seems the right thing to do at this time of the year.

  What Do You Think About "Jehovah's" Organization?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  as witnesses, you are constantly bombarded with the expression,"jehovah's organization".... if we don't believe in jehovah's organization, we are doomed.

  we must put faith in jehovah's organization.

  jehovah's organization is the modern day "ark of survival"........these types of expressions have been drilled in the heads of jehovah's witnesses for decades.

  It was never Jehovah's organization and never will be. It's a manmade corporation that sells books to help fund its pathetic belief system.

  Celebrating Halloween is definitely a personal choice, I just never liked all the spooky stuff associated with it. When I married, my hubby still celebrated it with his son, and I calmly said I didn't. It wasn't a big deal, no one got upset, however, like you said undercover, it's definitely a personal and/or family decision.

  I am so spoiled stinking rotten, I probably couldn't live without electricity very long. I do know that my grandmother couldn't live without it at all, since she's hooked up to oxygen 24/7 due to her emphesyma.

  Gas prices definitely vary here in the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I paid $1.59 the other night, but other places it's a few cents cheaper, more in other places. I think here it depends on which intersection you're located.

  i'm a little interested in the mobility of jw's.

  they were all unique in how they applied the talmud watchtower law.

  i explained that to myself as diferent congs have diferent personalities but as i saw more and more "bad stuff" can to understand there was no "god" in "gods organisation" .

  Does the splitting of a congregation count as one or two? Well, it doesn't really matter, because as the previous post said, one is too many!

  I still don't do Halloween, which is my own personal decision not to do. However, I celebrate most holidays and enjoy celebrating my birthday immensely.

  Why Do Kingdom Halls Smell Funny?

  by Englishman in

  .

  having visited dozens of kh's over the years, i can indeed confirm that they all have the same smell about them imho.. it's not very nice either, perhaps even a little sinister is the odour that emanates from most of them.. i wonder what it is that get's up my nose so?.

  Since I will not answer the obvious answer, perhaps the reason is plain and simple: anything that evil has got to stink!

  Definitely have never seen a Broadway show, but have seen plenty of London productions and productions in the Dallas area. I got to see Richard Burton in Camelot a few years before he died, I saw Barry Williams do the Music Man in 1997 (didn't know Greg Brady could so sing so well). However one of my favorites remains a 1977 production of The Unsinkable Molly Brown, with Debbie Reynolds and Harve Presnall. What a great show!
