Spike's Bitches 44: It's about the rules having changed.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
I'm going to have shrimp pizza at Jupiter. It sounds crazy.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
If Hil isn't going to let him know that this kind of talk bothers her, she can't blame him for not knowing that. If she tells him it makes her uncomfortable and he STILL does it, then she should take further action.
Yeah, I know. My plan now is, first, take a week to see if he gets the point if I just ignore or find reasons to not answer. (AKA, the coward way.) If that doesn't work, then I'm going to talk to him the next time he says something. If that still doesn't work, then I'm not sure.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
God plan, Hil. This interpersonal shit is hard--and I say that as an HR person who does this sort of stuff for living.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
We used to have a toucher at work. I told him I don't like being touched (at work, natch) and he didn't decrease the amount of touching but followed up each instance with, "oh yeah, you hate that. Sorry." Lucky for him he got tranferred before I summoned the motivation to escalate the issue to HR.
Which is not to say you shouldn't protect your boundaries, Hil. Just because you can't predict how the clueless will react is no reason to fail to assert your needs. I support your plan to try to icy stare for a week and I hope that works because the next step is a bitch... but if you gotta go there we'll talk you through it.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I read these posts before I read Press, so my first reaction to the discussion of Drew's blog is it must be about sound engineering. I was only slightly disappointed to see its subject matter, because I'm sure Drew would have many interesting things to say about designing sound.
Oh yeah, I'm subscribing too....

Our wings are not tired
I've thought about doing a blog about sound design as well, and that may turn up on my personal site eventually, but the blog about atheism is something that I'm doing as a way for me to have a space that's apart from my work.

Sprng in Colordo. I took that picture about an hour ago and there is MORE snow. And more due in overnight.
Ahhhh, spring.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
If Hil isn't going to let him know that this kind of talk bothers her, she can't blame him for not knowing that.
I disagree - anyone old enough to have a job should not have to be told not to ask prying questions about a co-worker's religion. It's simply rude.
Not saying Hil shouldn't confront him (because obviously he was sick the day this was covered in kindergarten), but the fact that she hasn't so far is in no way an excuse for his behavior.

That was Utah on Tuesday. We lost a lot of tree branches.
re: Hil's co-worker. I've discovered that one person's rude is another person's "But I'm interested in your life! I'd tell you anything you want to know." A courteous "You know, your questions are rather intrusive, please stop," is a small thing to do before bringing the big guns of harassment.
