Not sure. I know that the employees there have contracts, but I’m not sure if those trump “at will” or not. OTOH, Alabama is an at will state through and through, but there are lawyers who make big fat livings suing for wrongful termination anyway (sometimes legit, sometimes not).
I’m in favor of the media idea, myself. This place is already greatly challenged financially (at one point employee’s health insurance claims were being denied because the organization was behind on premiums, and another time some payroll checks bounced) and they rely on government funds and private/corporate/religious donations. They have a LOT to fear from bad press.
I don’t understand, has Jodie Foster been obnoxious about her coming out? Why would you make fun of her coming out otherwise? I kinda stopped reading after the tortured dialogue bit. Did you have another point about Jodie Foster besides her lesbianism?
Eh, true that, I shouldn’t have included it. It makes me sound almost like one of those— whadda ya call 'em? Those pathetic impotent fucking oxygen thieves who make fun of others behind their back on message boards because of their sexual orientation and other things— sometimes even wish them death and rape and make fun of their terminal illnesses and what not… there’s a name for those people…
Anyway, thanks for the TLDR, they’re always valued. I’m sure you’re busy this time of year with charity work and making people’s lives generally happier and doing your best to not add meanness to the world, tis the season Fall On Your Knees and what not, so don’t let me keep you.
speaking of Kevins of the world… like roaches and Starbucks, they’re everywhere you go
THE CUNT STOLE JOHN HINKLEY FROM ME WHAT DO YOU EXPECT! THAT I’LL JUST FORGET SHE TOOK THE LOVE OF MY LIFE AND THEN LAUGHED IN HIS FACE BY TURNING ALL QUEER AND FLAUNTING IT…
But he’ll be back once I kidnap Ahmadinejad and the former Spice Girl known as… well, I’ve said too much.
The writing level so low at the snarkpit you’re having to come stir up Sampiro to get some action, is it? Well, baiting me’s probably not that hard and it’s nice to know I’m still good for ratings, but I fear my indignation and outrage is reserved for another at the moment.
Maybe if you were to get a brain tumor and lose your job I’d be more sympathetic. Couldn’t hurt. Might even get me to toss you some Trollsy Treats.
But I doubt it.
Goodnight bud. I’m not being the least bit facetious or disingenuous when I say I feel very sorry for you, especially this time of year. So long as it is not to the detriment of another I honestly hope you find what it is you need in the new year.
Jodie Foster, John Hinkley, the Sweeney Todd thread, Squeaky Fromme, then CarnalK mentions the devil…
now I have
stuck in my head.
At least it’s Stephen’s most beautiful love song. (Original Cast Recording only, though- the Broadway’s vastly inferior [that Guiteau… what were they thinking?])
TOTAL HIJACK- but since I’m jealous of successful dead blind people like Helen Keller, I’ll share this that I noticed on the YouTube links. It’s your lagniappe for this thread. I feel almost guilty for laughing my ass off— but damn, what a save!
Yeah, I gotta say. After an OP like that, and then all the rest of it, snarking on **Carnal ** is ironic to the extreme. In fact, the older I get, the more I’m coming to understand his snark as art rather than psychology. At least, I think I am.
Anyway, this thread reminded me of an unpleasant irony. In my experience, it seems like there’s an inverse correlation between the goodness of an organization’s objectives and the goodness of the people/organization itself.
The shittiest places/people I’ve worked for were the ones with the most noble objectives, i.e. non-profits and benevolent government programs. The easiest/nicest places I’ve worked tended to be the folks doing more serious/not nice things, like defense and nuclear power.
If the snark is art, I have some dog shit I’ll be glad to sell you as Christmas decorations. As for CarnalK, he has repeatedly made no secret of the fact he can’t stand my writing or my posts, yet feels the need to read them and comment on them. My opinion is it’s a deliberate baiting and I should ignore them, but it’s Christmas and I don’t have anything else for him.
Of course he devotes time and resources to a board that discusses how lame this one is but keeps re-upping when his enlistment is up, so… such is his mystery.
At least I can say CarnalK has never struck me as stupid or Fundie, so it’s nice to see he has supporters who are. Broadens his demographics.
As for my “72 font”- you do realize it was a joke, right? You do know who John Hinkley was, right? And that Jodie didn’t really steal him from me, right? And it would be ironic if she did and all, right?
So… a board starts about this thread on another site we’re not supposed to name that Carny just happens to be majorly “associated” with. Carny comes over to this thread to be snarky and incendiary and to bait me, all after ADMITTING he hasn’t actually read the thread- he just wants to criticize me and my writing and my sanity- all to the coincidental amusement of others on said other board we’re not supposed to name. How is this not, what’s the word… trolling?
No, John Hinkley was the guy who shot Reagan, while the guy who shot Reagan was John Hinkley. It’s an easy mistake, but good to see you knew who he was.
