LR, that sounds like an unpleasant situation, to be sure! But it's true, that sort of thing is frowned on at workplaces as much as coming in drunk or sleeping on the desk would be. In my workplace (University) , we've had any number of people arrested for such things. Last two I know of were for child pornography. Pretty sick stuff. Most recent un-computer-related arrest was this week for sales of cocaine and guns...student in the dorms! Scary thing working at the university these days. A few years back a very disturbed ex-student took a class hostage (had a rifle) during exams. I was in the building next door and we were told not to leave our offices. The gunman was tackled by a student (who got badly wounded) and finally arrested. sigh... You should have SEEN the security when Clinton came a few yrs ago! SS everywhere!

You asked for it...
Back in high school, I played football (American) in the fall and baseball in the spring. I absolutely loved baseball but was (somewhat) better at football. Anyhow, we had a pretty good baseball team. The coach said the only way I was going to get to play was to be the catcher. Bad news for me as baseball practices would begin before I was completely healed up from football. However, I did love the stupid game so I became a catcher (to this day, my knees have never forgiven me) Well, one fine New Jersey June day (temperature near 100 degrees F, 90% humidity), we were playing in the first round of the state playoffs. Things were going great: our best pitcher on the mound, everyone (except me) healthy and feeling great. By the top of the sixth inning, we were still tied at nothing (nil). My pitcher walked the other team's catcher (who was about 6 feet and 300 lbs) with two outs. Instead of just pitching to the next batter, my pitcher decides to get cute... he decides he is going to "pick off" the "runner" on first base for the las out. Now keep in mind the alleged runner weighs 300 pounds and is so slow you can time his 40 yard dash with a sundial. The first time my pitcher throws to first, the guy wasn't even taking a lead! I figure, "Okay, my guy is trying to discourage the hit and run/waddle." I give him his sign and HE THROWS TO 1ST AGAIN!!! Remember, it's hot, my knees ache, my back's killing me and my shoulder is a little dislocated from a collision at the plate the previous inning. I call time go out to the mound and point out the obvious to my pitcher: the guy on 1st is too big, fat and slow to steal more than a breath, I'm whupped so let's get this over with. I go back behind the plate and the miserable &*@!? throws to 1st AGAIN! I yell at my pitcher, "You do that or THINK of doing that again and I'm coming out there to kick your sorry ass!" He did... I did... I got tossed from the game for "charging the mound." If my coach had had a better sense of humor, I might have got in the record books. I believe I am the only player in New Jersey history to be ejected for attacking a team mate Sorry about the length but you asked for it... LOL ------------------ Next time I send some damned fool, I'll go myself... |

He would/will have been imediately fired if my webmaster wasn't an awesome guy and had gone to our team mananger instead. I'm hoping the kid will clean it up because we will have to report it next week if he doesn't (even if we didn't, someone else will catch him)... *SIGH* He's getting through this garbage they run on our network called Surfwatch by using safeweb.com... The rest of us are using safeweb too but only for getting to our webmail (only way I can get to my Crosswinds account) Stupid! Like I said, like drinking and getting stoned, he should keep it at home! BTW, I don't think of it as sexual harrasment, but inappropiate in this environment... Ah, well. I'll be optimistic and just assume he'll take our warning and clean it up.

Yeah. I think we did. And as you said, it's up to him now. I know that sexual harrassment is a very real issue, but I also think people tend to go way overboard with it. It's like a polite man not holding a door open for a woman because the last time he did he got chewed for being a chauvenest! Stupid! I think it's a courtesy to hold the door for someone and do so myself whenever possible. I wish people could just chill a little.
