Let Me Get My Palm Piolet and See If I Can Fit You In...Oh Please!
I have taken an evening off of my illustrious social schedule. Friday's normally are consumed by over-zealous binge drinking, hanging out with a bunch of boys, and trying to figure out if I will make it past midnight or if I am ditching the boy downtown. Well tonight, I have turned to a large bottle of red wine and an evening in front of the boob tube. Right now, I am trying to figure out who I can talk to at TLC to get on what not to wear. My clothes have scene better days and I would love a trip to New York and $5000 of clothes. Prior to this, I was analyzing America's Top Model trying to fiogure out if fifteen year old girls realize that those people are not the norm and an eating disorder will not make you perfect. I have now moved onto rooftop gardens and how I wonder if my landloard would be pissed if I started one.
The past two weeks have , provided me with one of the most awful work environments known to woman (how women's lib is that). After the creationism vs. evolution discussion with Dr. Evil (he is no longer the ivy leaguer. he has evolved) he decided to have a meeting with me to discuss the possibility of me teaching a faith based environmental science field class. While I appreciate the offer, I was very quick to tell him that faith based science wasn't my bag and I would have to decline. Then he wanted to discuss the religous history of my entire family and then asked me if I was a christian. Now, I would like to preface this next statement with a few comments. I have never once inquired into the religous beliefs of anyone I know professionally. I have known friends for years and never asked about their religous beliefs. I find this to be a very personal and private thing that people should be respectful toward. I think this is the sort of thing that a person shares when someone feels trusting and comforted by someone else's company. This would not be the case in this situation. So, I answered Dr. Evil very honestly when I told him "No, I was not a christian." I am not going to lie to the man and I was SOOOO completely blown away by how many of constitutional rights had been violated. Needlesstosay, I hate my job more than ever. But, then again, I have a job and for that I am grateful.
Thanks for letting me vent.

You're telling me. This is really freaking me out and I don't think I have slept through the night since it happened. This is the kind of shit people get fired for and lawsuits are filed over. I mean didn't that cheerleading coach at UGA just get fired over a similar situation. I am totally and completley bugging out over this. Even my staunchly religous mother thinks he overstepped his boundaries here. The next thing you know he is going to be hitting on me. The man has lost his damn mind!
