I'm turning myself to a demon

Yesterday I worked in Sydney! It was the induction day for the new graduates at Wolfram & Hart, and we got to go meet them and catch up with each other as well since most of the 2010 grads were starting our new rotations too.

It's so weird, the assessment day and the induction week are still pretty clear in my memory (it'll be a year on Tuesday

That awful woman sounds like my grandmother, who would have done something similar, and if confronted would have said, "You just can't take a joke," or, "Well, he knows what he is," and gone and sulked in a corner and talked about how mean to her the confrontor had been (ask me how I know.) You have every right and reason not to want to be around that woman or her family, and it isn't unfair at all!

I worked for this woman: Janet Marzett. She was the first woman, and the first person of color to ever break through the glass ceiling of the Daimler organization. I learned a great deal about diversity from her, including just how amazingly brave one must be to be the pioneer. And how sometimes, just being the face in the room is being the pioneer. So don't be down on yourself for not speaking.

I hope someone said something to that guy after the meeting, though.

And you're right that white people don't get asked if they are religious vegetarians. If a white person is a vegetarian, we just assume he/she is a tree-hugging Democrat

Yes, she does sound like that kind of person. I don't know how people like that can develop!

And yeah, I'd rather be assumed to be a tree-hugging Democrat, really. ;) It's probably a more accurate description than anything relating to religious reasons.

But thank you for your comment, it makes me feel a little less alone.
