Reply #14: A General Reply To Received Responses

[mermaid]

Thanks to those who have read, and replied.

I have copy and pasted all this to a Word document, so that I will have this, going forward.

Rather than glut things up with a number of individual responses, I'm going to make a sigle response, addressing several of the received responses...

First...thanks to the guy who ruined the constellation Orion for me forever, now!! :-) I'm glad you got a chuckle, though. I don't understand why ANY guy seems to think their package is SO desireable or worthy of being looked at, anyway?? Who gives a crap? I, as I said, quite bluntly...have no interest in any bulge in ANY man's pants, except maybe the one made by his WALLET!! I don't need anything other than a double income from a man...far as I am concerned, they can keep the rest of it to themselves!!

I'm reminded of that Sam Kinison bit.."I'm gonna be over here, reading the New Testament, so why don't you jack off and remember how funny he was?!?!?" Pretty much my attitude...just gimme the money, and keep the rest to yourself! You need a release, fine, jerk off, then.

I, also, will never underestimate the meanness and dumbness of some people.

Such shit will be illegal in MY state when monkeys fly outta my ass...I live in fucking TEXAS!!

And the problem is...I DON'T know who the asswipe who made the allegation is, nor will they tell me. I'm therefore forced into the position of having to consider ALL my enemy, until I know WHO it is.

And yes...this certainly DOES create a hostile work emnvironment for me. Try getting anywhere with that argument in TEXAS, though!! Not only would I lose my job, but I'd also probably get denied unemployment benefits!! I live in a state that loves employers and bigots...and hates employees and "freaks."

If I knew WHO the asswipe was...yes, I would avoid tehm. but since I DON'T...I have to assume anoyone, or everyone could be the asswipe, and that forces me to avoid EVERYONE...creating, yes, a hostile work environment for me.

I just might try that thing about having a right to confront my accuser. If this shit comes up again...which I sincerely hope it won't, given the other measures I'm taking to protect myself.

My to-be supervisor was very sympathetic to me, with regards to all this...and I really hope this is something that just goes away. Fact is, I'm on a temp-to-hire situation, so I DARE NOT do anything to "rock the boat," so the lawyer business cards idea doesn't work out for me...

And I could care less about my co-workers, once the go-home bell rings. but it really sucks to have to be afraid of making even the most banal of conversation with ALL of them, just because of a poison apple buried somewhere in the barrel. Problem is, I don't know which one is the poison apple, and so I gotta avoid ALL of the apples.

And I do understand WHY my employer had to address this with me...I'm not faulting them for that. I'm faulting the asswipe making false allegations, and causing there to be an issue to address in the first place!

And, yes...my boss DOES seem very reasonable. There is a transsexual supervisor there, incidentally...and SHE has had similar bullshit charges brought against her...her accusers are gone, she still works there...so there's hope. and this is NOT a situation my employer has never seen before.

My boss also did put me in contact with this particular supervisor, gave me her name and telephone number, that I might speak with this person regarding my concerns, and how I might deal with them. I intend to do this, as this supervisor obviously has far more tenure with the company than I do, I think her advice on how to proceed would be very valuable to me.

thanks, again, all who have read and replied. I've tried to address all the salient points in one response, do not feel miffed if I missed a point you might have felt important...I do appreciate all suggestions, and, more importantly, the ability to vent this shit. but I didn't want to glut this up by responding individually to all who responded, I felt a larger response, addressing the points made in several posts, would be better,

And I'm going to an "End Of An Error" party tonight, at a local bar...there I will find that glass or two of wine!

Thanks again, y'all!
