So why do I have to be the grownup at work? I literally had to yell at 2 people for telling offensive jokes in front of the very christian new girl, one of the offenders was a manager. So the gay atheist has to be the one to stand up and yell at people for not being respectful. *SIGH*
I get into this with some of my friends. If the person isn't jamming their beliefs down your throat, have some respect and reciprocate.
A little respect goes a long way towards making people accept different viewpoints.

Well it is a basic universal truth.
Can't seem to understand why more f$%+ing douchebags can't seem to wrap what passes for their d*#+*$* minds around that.

I guess I never thought I'd have to be in that role having to tell people to simmer down.

Were they making anti-christian jokes specifically, or just being jerks? I'm curious.

Being jerks, mostly swearing horribly, and making very crude sexual jokes in front of her.

That last part would be grounds for a sexual harassment suit here.

No way, "Indeed" is always in Teal'c's voice from Stargate:SG-1!!!

From our annual EEO training (because some A hats have to be taught how to behave like a human being in the workplace) I would say HDs assessment would be correct.

Yeah, likely not, but maybe.

If you meant Balvinnie, we got some of that too.
And in other Edinburgh-related stuff: Mary King's Close was a fun hour thanks to a very good tour guide (nothing for people with walking difficulties, though, and because it goes under the City Chambers, no photography were allowed) - I heartily recommend it.
The Conan Doyle is a very nice pub, which manage to feel cosy, even though it was quite crowded.
People looking for some Indian food won't feel disappointed at Tippoo (sp?).
And in case there are any other fans of Ian Rankin's Inspector Rebus novels among the FAWTLers, I have now had a drink at the Ox (and a wee at its urinal for that matter). Very much not a tourist pub, but I could definitely see someone popping in for a pint and a read of the newspaper after work.

It changes dramatically over the seasons and the script writers and actors all notice. Some of the best parts of that show are them making fun of really idiotic things they did in the first couple of seasons.

I got so bored with Pong. what was the one with the tanks that came out a few years later? It was cool, you could blast your opponent off of one side of the screen and onto the other.
