Dana/Lisa wip

Class was okay. I started to tune out to the lecture and ended up writing a bit of fic.

( Stuff I shouldn't be writing in class )

WTF?

elke_tanzer has more details about this US article (LGBT Federal Workers Lose Job Protections), but I'm just reading and going "WTF?"

So, you have recourse against being fired for homosexual conduct (attending pride rallies is the example given), as long as you can prove that you're straight? Is it okay to sleep with women (or men, if you're a guy), as long as you still identify yourself as a heterosexual?

I mean, isn't it the conduct of sleeping with the same gender that gives you the status of a homosexual? How can you divide one from the other?

As I read it, it's basically saying that if you're straight, and you're fired for being gay, it's descrimination. If you actually are gay, then that's fine.

Boss is out until 12.30pm. Needless to say, I've done nothing productive. Damn, I was going so well yesterday (well, apart from 11.30-1pm, and 4.30-5.30pm... *g*).

So, I've read fic, I've check email, I've compulsively checked LJ. I've written a pointless avoiding-work SN fic. I think I need to do some work...

*yawns*

I'm so glad it's Friday. I'm just too damn tired to drag myself through another day.

BDU

I mentioned this to vissy, and she's posted in her LJ, but it can't hurt to post in mine, too.

BUFFY DOWN UNDER CONVENTION WITH JAMES MARSTERS

July 3/4 in Melbourne. $120/day.

Is there anyone else who wanted to come? I'm asking because last year you had to book together to be seated together. I'll probably be going Sunday (better seats still available), but Vissy's going both days.

A co-worker turned 21, and they had a chocolate mousse cake. Damn. Why couldn't he have been born *after* Easter?

On a happier note, I was looking through the transcript for "The Apology" and I'm still amused by Dan's suggestion of what's cool: ( To avoid excess spam to those not SN obsessed )

Hee!

It's beyond my level of knowledge!

I know why the SN crew speak the way they do. When people are insane enough not to keep pushing, you need to.

Coworker D asks me about the distributions that aren't appearing in a client cash account:
Me: All payments go to the cash account.
D: Only the interest appears in the cash account.
Me: All payments go to the cash account. if the distributions aren't there, they haven't been paid directly in cash.
D: It's says it's a cash payment.
Me: But all cash payments go to the cash account.
D: How can I check that?
Me: Check with my boss tomorrow. It's beyond my level of knowledge. As far as I know, all payments go to the cash account.

Then, she wanders off and her team leader, N, comes over.
Me: If your asking about the X distributions it should have gone to the cash account and it's beyond my level of knowledge.

N pulls a chair up beside me. I look at forms I need to do.
Me: I just spoke to D about this. It's beyond my level of knowledge. You're best to check with my boss.
N: Now, about the X distributions.
Me: It's beyond my level of knowledge.
N: No, I'm sure your a very bright girl, you can work this out.
Me: It's beyond my level of knowledge. I just told D that.
N: So what should I do about it?
Me: Check with my boss.
N: What will he say?
Me: I don't know! It's beyond my level of knowledge.

Eventually, he wandered away, and he'll come and see me about it on Monday. *rolls eyes*
