It was like one of those HR videos that you laugh at for being over the top ridiculous, except real.
Thankfully, he has that faith of his guiding him.

JMO but this is something that should be brought up with his superior(s) immediately. That is a lawsuit waiting to happen if said co-workers get wind of this.

If Caitlyn Jenner gets convicted of vehicular manslaughter, and has to go to jail, what jail does she go to, men's or woman's?

I don't know if she's had reassignment surgery or not, but I'd guess that would be the deciding factor.

I'd say he's going to shack up with the men. That should go over well.

Sadly, I think that would do me more harm than whatever good came out of it.

Hah, figures; this past Sunday, Bill Self was at my restaurant. Of course every waiter in the place was goggle-eyed trying to get a glimpse of him in the booth in the bar.

I just got home from work and my neighbors yard is flooding into mine. He has a privacy fence up and I can't see over it. Every 5 seconds or so there is this huge whooshing noise. On the other side of his house at his garage, it's obvious that it got wet and ran into the street but there is no stream or indication of the source. [expletive] weird. I'm tempted to call him but damn it's late.
