Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Ha! It is fun, whether the recipient is male or female.

The consultant told me that I was gangsta today, and the developer said "Yes, she's always threatening me." I felt a hair's breadth away from being called up to HR. Lordie. Things I didn't know.

I have just sent half a million detailed work emails. I hope that's enough. If anyone calls my cellphone, seriously, they need to get fucked up. And just because I will be getting my work email...doesn't mean shit.

I'm afraid I don't get this. It's a sex toy, apparently. But it couldn't look less like one. And most sex toys for boys are pretty simple, right?

Okay, I watched the video again, and I guess I get it. But I still think they're..I mean, they don't fall off, or anything?

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I think that's the point.

It can be slipped into the pocket of your pants or in your briefcase without looking too revealing too. Thus they can be brought with you everywhere! We even received videos (which we can upload here) or men masturbating with a Tenga Egg while on a public bus ride (what a dare devil), and another man while driving (talk about safe sex!).

Okay, but a guy yanking the crank looks like a guy getting off, even if the egg is a strange new thing. That's the universal language of onanism, seriously. But, finally, something more subtle than a fleshlight, although I hear Rosie and her four sisters are pretty good at what they do. And can be taken anywhere with you!

I am the fly who dreams of the spider

What are the ethics or legality behind giving an employee performance evaluation in a public space?

As in, my ED gave me mine at a restaraunt while my eyes bugged the fuck out of my head. And I was lucky that she then gave me a book as a Christmas gift, or else I wouldn't have had any place to put the evaluation for the duration of the meal.

I ask because I'm seriously considering reporting this to the board, and we're getting a decision on her continued employment on the third, and are encouraged to report anything in the meantime. While I'm determined to get her ass fired fired fired, and thought this was absolutely unprofessional, I want to be sure it's a valid complaint. Especially since it's been made clear that our asses are fired if any of this gets out into the community.

Julibird, I think it is doubtful that you'd find anything illegal there. But if there is anything written in company policy or in an employee handbook about the reviews being confidential or such the like that would seem to be your route to a valid complaint.

All sorts of ~ma, Bonny. You are in my thoughts.

Julie, I did that once but my boss felt me out ahead of time to see if I was comfortable with it. (And IIRC my response was "apparently you're not worried I'll make a scene, so I'll take that as a good sign." I would never spring that on someone though.

Oh, bonny, I am so very sorry for your loss. Many, many healing thoughts and prayers are heading your way.
