You Know You Are Old When

I think repeating this at work would lead to hospital termination.

A few years ago a huge floral arrangement was delivered to one of our young nurses… a doctor noticed and ask who died… the nurse said her boyfriend sent them… the doctor said you must be a very good girlfriend…

That banter landed the Doctor in hot water with HR…

Yet the female employees that swoon over firefighters or paramedics always get a pass…

I always note that whenever I have to take a online sexual harassment class, EVERY woman they show is smoking hot. The men look like models as well LOL

Generally women in a trade industry can throw it around just as well as the men.

I once said "SH**" in front of a female worker. I looked at her and apologized for my language. She asked me what the F*** was my problem?

Glad I don't work in a hospital.

… said Robespierre? Said Karl Marx? I’d bet Aristotle himself once claimed this. It goes right along with “kids today”, first uttered by Adam or Eve.

I was commenting on the Political Correctness that has stifled society. I am for fairness and equality, also for freedom of expression as long as it does not harm someone. These days we are talking on eggshells. First, our speech is controlled. Eventually, our every action and thought. Slippery slope.

If you have a brain to use, you generally won't have a problem speaking.

Of course the hospital example given may be out of control, but you have every right not to work there.

Is your name Karen?

Not hardly. Is you're name frogger?

I do however live in NC which is a right to work state. I find that term somewhat deceptive. From what I've seen, really doesn't have that much to do with unions, but the power that your employer has to terminate your job for your actions. Very easy to get terminated without cause down south than it is up north from what I've seen.
