Dear So and So

[BodhiTree]

You've insulted a friend when two of you joked about her weight and called her fat. It's unprofessional, rude, and possibly fireable at your level. You've truly exceeded your level of competence. It's rude, mean, uncalled for and so against policy it's not funny.

Report it.

[Trek420]

Report it.

Will advise her to do that! It's hearsay from me but I will get her the number for EEO.

I learned it can still be harassment or hostile environment if I overhear something at work even if it wasn't directed at me.

I learned it can still be harassment or hostile environment if I overhear something at work even if it wasn't directed at me.

But I can't report it because the two ditwad so-called managers (one has a pattern of being just plain mean) were talking in the vicinity of a friend of ours who reported the conversation to her. But I did not hear the two dimwits talking.

I trust both sources, good reps, honest people, ethical, especially the one who actually heard the managers. So I believe the conversation happened.

But a report from me is hearsay? I may be too far removed.

So I advised both to call EEO department, talk to the union if they want, whistle-blowers need not fear retaliation, and that if they still fear to do so it can be anonymous.

Dear Self,

Nooooo. Don't get sick. Please. I am still taking antibiotics for the sinus stuff and I am even finishing them, even though it's been 8 days (2 more to go). Woke up this morning with a funny feeling in my back, suspiciously like bronchitis or pneumonia starting. We are leaving for 4 days in Craftsbury VT on Wednesday and I am going to get some cross country skiing in, if it kills me.
Luckily, we have winds gusting up to 50 mph today, with tree debris everywhere, so I spent the afternoon buying a new pair of stylish and funky glasses instead of riding. I was going to get on the trainer when I got home, but I am being good and taking a rest day.
Why does this always happen before I go away?

Back in the days when it was still possible I used to get my period the day before a performance, and on the day if travel whenever we went anywhere. You are not alone but it is still not fun. Hope you feel better.

Dear right shoulder,

thank you so much for finally allowing the trapezius muscle to stop going into spasms and hurting so much I couldn't move my arm, and thank you for no longer hurting. Although it was only 48 hours it felt like a lifetime, and being able to take off the t shirt I had been wearing for two days shower and put on a clean shirt was pure bliss.

Now if I just knew what I did to irritate you.marni

Ha, I had my period for every school dance or first date in middle school and high school.

The worst day of my period somehow managed to fall on move-out day every year of college, and when I moved into my apartment in Cleveland. That was fun,
