A lot of people have a very poor understanding of what harassment is in the employment law sense, since the the word has broad colloquial use that doesn't necessarily align. I don't know about Canadian legal terminology, but the phrase "hostile workplace" is a cause of a lot of confusion for workers here, since some people interpret that in a broad sense that means that the employer is being a big jerk, instead of the employer is allowing discriminatory patterns of behavior to exist in the workplace. So basically GET USED TO SITTING QUIETLY AND ROLLING YOUR EYES.

Asiina posted:Anyway, it was a dumb session and no, your employer making sure that you are on time for work is not harassment. Stop it. No, boss, and your attempt to get me to do involuntarily perform my basic job responsibilities is CHRONIC ABUSE. Please be more considerate of my delicate emotional makeup in the future, tia.

This actual ties into one thing that annoys the heck out of me, and that's how many legal matters are reported on - many times the actual issue gets ignored in favor of the WEIRD LITTLE THING or HOT STORY and that's why we all go "LOL THE COFFEE DIDN'T SAY WARNING HOT" instead of "Dear lord that woman got 3rd degree burns, that coffee seemed ludicrously and dangerously hot!" and then everybody dies a little.

Even My Estranged Libertarian Father thinks that coffee was too loving hot. It legitimately upsets me when people poke fun at that.

Some old friends invited me to play in their fantasy football league. I know nothing about football - haven't watched it in years - and I figured it would at best be a hilarious disaster. I'm predicted to start the season 3-0. I don't understand at all. In more relevant news, the big Votefinder switchover should be happening this weekend! The domain is scheduled to transfer into my account on Sunday, so you might notice that votefinder mysteriously resets to three days earlier or so. I'll transfer over the existing database as soon as I get the email from my registrar. Password reset functionality has been enabled already on the new site and an SSL certificate will end up on the site late Sunday.

Please be more considerate of my delicate emotional makeup in the future, tia. I know people who complain about having to dress professionally in an office where clients come in for meetings. It is bizarre. ("Professionally", for reference, includes Hawaiian-shirt-and-shorts combos, so it's not a particularly strict imposition).

Establish yourself as affable, productive, and competent and then wear darkish jeans and a polo shirt every day.

Podima posted:It's me! Yeah, this is pretty much what I've been doing for most of my career. I wear suits when I'm formally meeting with clients, but generally I market myself and my skill set as a low maintenance team player, which allows for a bit more room for eccentricities. Last time I met with a client I still had longish hair and giant mutton chops, so.

I have to film the presentation the lawyers make at our school every year on the subject of Title IX and the Violence Against Women Act. It is super duper dry and pretty much boils down to "The moment a student tells you about something, inform one of the deans immediately for any given situation." People still come up with ridiculous situations and the lawyer tiredly says "Inform the dean" to every single question, it's terrible. Made worse by the fact that I then have to edit the thing, so I get to relive it 6 more times.

Also related to our earlier spellcheck conversation I just had to look up whether it was sear or seer cause I wasn't sure. Then I learned that sere is also a word.

CCKeane posted:POOP BROWN I actually own quite a few brown pants and I like them a lot. I wear them with earthy or muted coloured shirts and I have this long brass/copper coloured chain and owl pendant that I'll wear with it. It's not an official "outfit" like they're meant to go together but I tend to put this together for myself a lot since I'm pretty comfortable with it.

The best outfits are the ones you don't plan but belatedly realize you like the way you look/feel when you wear them. Also brown pants rule.
