Please tell me you reported it?.... Work is not a place anyone should feel scared of, or threatened by... I like being able to go to a workplace feeling needed, respected and generally happy to be there (as much as one can enjoy work..lol).
Wait..... DPK is Italian...?.... *hot*...  LOL.

Bev, we thought for sure that our boss would flip and the punk would be canned inside of a New York minute. The aforementioned Ivy Leaguer already made a ridiculously sexist comment that tried to lamely pass off as joke about women and sports yesterday to another caucasian co-worker. It's just getting deeper and deeper here. This is a lawsuit just waiting to happen, because I don't see the company doing anything about it.

Update on the racist: My manager just got in. Douchebag is about as doomed as Alderann was against the Death Star in the original Star Wars movie. Found out the racist is a Univ. of Penn Engineering grad! WTF is an Ivy Leaguer doing tech support for??????? Who did this fool piss off in life?

Hey Ron...I was super busy with work the past couple of weeks. Not moving until Thursday or Friday. My bro and I go to sign the lease Wednesday afternoon. I bought a new bed over the weekend for the "love dungeon" (my g/f is going to love to read that) and I gotta get a bunch of stuff for the place.

Well, if he starts calling you "Don" than I think you should make him an offer he cant refuse...
But since he is from the security department, I guess you better be carefull. In any case, ignoring such bastards is usualy the best way to do it.

I had my music playing as I was doing some preparations, and as they came I didn't hear one complaint...as a matter of fact, the station (Boneyard) never changed all night!! For the most part, it was all new to them. Everyone drank and had a really good time. It was a very mixed crowd as well...white, black and latino and with the birthday girl being gay, that added a whole new dimension to it. I must admit that it was a lively night full of fun and laughter...a very pleasant suprise. I am very happy to say that (after a day of recuperating) that there is a part of the younger crowd that does know how to have a good time and let loose without going overboard and losing it in the wee hours...much to my suprise!!...I was also happy to realize that at 42, I can still hang with the young pups!!!...lol... |

| I thought I'd drop this bit of insight I gained from a party I helped to host Saturday night. It was a birthday party for a (now) 22 year old niece of a friend, and because of space issues, the party was here. Originally I was going to go out and play poker with the guys and avoid this 'younger' crowd as I don't have much in common with them, but once ppl started flowing in (some as much as an hour early) there was just to much to do so I stayed. As much as I hate to admit this, I really had a good time.
