> My work rant of the day. I have a small tattoo on my inner arm. I never thought that a flag colored eagle would be offensive to anyone. I work in a warehouse, I rarely see a taxpayer. Today, on casual Friday, I wore a red T-shirt to work. (red shirts to support the troops, most of the county has bought into it and mine is a nifty USMC support one) Shredder guy called my boss to say that he thought it was inappropriate that I was showing my ink.

> So now, we don’t get casual Friday work garb anymore. Shredder guy has pissed off the only other person who brings coffee in, because J loved to wear shorts on Friday, but he has a small tattoo on his calf. J now has his coffee locked in his desk and guess who will get to listen to SG whine about no coffee on Monday?
