So, I don't know what you guys are up to, but I started off the morning with a rousing game of Discrimination Bingo. Yeah, seriously. I went to a mandatory Discrimination and Harassment training. And there were Krispy Kreme doughnuts and thematic parlor games.

Also, and maybe I'm the last sad bastard in the universe to know this, but in the state of Florida, sexual orientation is not a protected class in terms of discrimination and harassment. So when I brought it up, the trainer kind of...shrugged at me. Yeah? So?

It's all over my friends' list, so you might have already seen this, but apparently the word "Jew" has been googlebombed such that the first site that shows up on a search is an anti-semitic one. Please link from your LJ to another site (such as the Wikipedia site, here), to help undo the damage.
Oh, and also, because I'm clearly funner than a barrel full of monkeys today, I should also like to mention that breathe_poetry has a September 11 poem today that just about killed me. I don't know why I'm always surprised when something like this happens-- seeing or reading something that takes me all right back to that day. It's as if I think I've somehow pushed it down far enough by now to be over it.
Right.
Okay. One redeeming thing amid(st) all the gloom. I have a pretty new LJ! Which, now that I think about it, doesn't really count for diddly squat, does it?
