You can see that this sort of thing would have to be supervised.. I merely volunteered.

Now they've taken the risky road of apologizing to each other with pixels.. not nearly as effective I'm afraid.

I still think the "hot tub plan" is best.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom, go from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!

Urchin started it! He apologized first! I was just doing the right thing here. And keep Animal out of my hot tub. The last thing I want is some creature crawling off of him and living in my hot tub.

Elf-

The wife beating remark you made was so obviously in jest I couldn't believe it was taken so seriously. You seemed to be making the most of it, so I didn't want to interrupt the virtuoso performance as you played those strings.


Kieran, Actually I felt uncomfortable saying that because so many Republicans still beat their wives.

Hmmm...wife swapping tho...Hey Sandman, what kind of truck are you picking up? If it's a nice one I'll swap you my wife and our 95 Ford Taurus with 185,000 miles on it. Should be able to get you and her and all her stuff back to Southern California...

E-mail me airhead1142@attbi.com with your flight info.

Some people are suggesting you sue the employer, but based on what?  Your foul language?  The payroll clerk not being nice to you? Your being fired?

You cannot cuss at female employees, nor male for that matter without risking your termination.  You did, they fired.  Courts wouldnt rule in your favor.

She wasnt nice?  If she isnt vulgar, you cant sue because of what she did.  Courts would laugh at that.

You got fired?  I would bet alot of money that they have a written "rules of conduct" that you probably signed a copy of when hired, and it would prohibit at the risk of termination abusive language or creating an intimidating atmosphere.  Again, you are not justified as I see it to seek legal redress.

Someone said you can sue for free, hardly.  And as far as the idea that a lawyer would take on your case for free, looking for a contingency payment, most lawyers only do this when they have reasonable expectation of a successful case or at least leverage for a settlement.  I personally dont see it in this case.

Move on, be honest in future employment pursuits, and learn a lesson from this past situation.

good luck,
