In theory, yeah. I could sue like mad!
In practice, I'd be out of work and broke long before any sort of payment comes from it, and in the meantime I'd be unemployable. It's a small town. There aren't any jobs here, especially for people suing their employer.

Witcher III keeps overheating my computer recently, which is a shame as I like it. Also weird since it played just fine for like a week straight when I first got it. Woe.
Happened to me during the summer months here, yeah. It's a pretty demanding game.

Shouldn't be it as it is still cold here. I honestly know what it is, last time I cleaned my computer we found the .. cooling paste? Whatever you call the stuff you put on the CPU had basically become burnt, so scraped it off with a knife. Havn't replaced it for no good reason, would probably work better if I did.,
Then again, it did basically burn the last time so I don't know.

Dude seriously if she threatens you at work of not call the cops. -
@Admiral Grew up in small towns my entire life. I totally understand where you are coming from, and it is an awful situation. What a huge twat she is. I am so sorry about your damaged promotion!
-
Well, the big bosses are coming down to talk to me sometime this week. Likely I'm going to get the standard 'no lawsuits, no filing charges' spiel.
Maybe if I'm lucky they'll want to transfer me now. If I'm super lucky they may even fire me and let me draw unemployment.
Sarcasm, of course. It's ridiculous that I have to worry now about if I get to keep my position when before I was possibly going to be promoted.
That's part of adulthood though. Accepting that the shit is always going to roll in your direction.
-
If they even hint at firing you, just point out that you were harassed based on your religion and sexual identity. It doesn't matter whether she was right, only that she was doing it. Depending on what state you live in, the latter might not be against the law but the former certainly is. And firing you because of it gives you huge grounds for a lawsuit.

This is true, kind of. The federal law prohibits discrimination based on gender, and some circuits have held that discriminating against someone because they are not attracted to the opposite gender is a form of gender discrimination.
As a side note, I was really surprised when Obergefell wasn't decided based on gender discrimination.
Also, @Admiral, that's total shit, and I"m so sorry for you.

Man, the longer I am a parent the less tolerance I have for shitty parenting that sets up innocent children to be entitled, socially blind asshats.

There is no such thing as an innocent child.

I clipped my thumb nail too far. Contact with the salt from my fries alone is not making my life more fun.
Now that is one of the peeviest peeves I have ever read here. Congrats.

@Tyche Sure, mock my unbearable agony.

I got my fit bit LAST NIGHT and I am already one of those people. I am counting steps and I caught myself trying to talk to someone about them.
I am sorry, world.

Morning sickness. I hear it only lasts a little while, usually, but ugh. Tired of saltines and water.
Also, I've only told a small handful of people RL that I'm pregnant. One of them says to me "Isn't it magical?", all sincere and starry eyed. That's totally grounds to punch someone in the face, right? Especially considering I had to wander off to puke, while at work, shortly after? Magical, my ass... More like an episode of "Monsters Inside Me".
Also, pisses me off a little that I'm actually excited about a baby, which is turning me into "that person". I'm so sorry, world.
Ahem...

Grats! I sincerely hope it is temporary, for you. I had severe 'morning' sickness that landed me in the hospital for dehydration on several occasions, and kept me mostly bedridden until 4 months along. I got pregnant and lost almost 30 pounds.
A few tricks I learned. The scent of fresh lemon helps with nausea, as does holding something very cold/running cold water on the inside of your wrist. For morning sickness in particular I finally figured out the trick is never ever to let yourself get hungry. When you wake up, keep graham crackers or something by the bed so you can have a bit before you try get up.
Good luck!
