I don't believe in the de-sexualized work environment. Maybe it's a good thing i'm the boss then. Don't get me wrong, i don't think sexual harassment is okay, or a good idea, or tasteful in any sense of the word (go ahead, make a pun out of that one). I just don't think people should have to whitewash their personalities while in the workplace.

The reason this comes up? Mandatory supervisor training in sexual harassment. [i'd much rather be sexually harassed right now, than trained]

I have employees, hired through an agency, and therefore i must be trained. There are plenty of other things i'm doing wrong as a boss, so i'm not sure how this one will be rectified by a simple two hour training. Oh yes, two full hours of boring text and questions and me clicking radio buttons until the green checkmark appears. Unfortunately I was too fast in my reading and they mandate 45 minutes for each section. So now i keep completing the last page of quiz questions only to be presented with more questions. I think i'll just go browse porn for awhile instead and contemplate the irony.

this is what i'm supposed to be doing...

this is what i'm doing instead...

Well now I feel better. I didn't realize that even you lucky self-employed types still have to endure the misery of compliance training. (Not that I'm seriously taking pleasure in your pain, but I'll stop feeling quite so sorry for myself now.) :)

P.S. Just got back in town from Dallas. I've written you at least 10 emails in my mind, yet none have drifted out the fingers to the keyboard yet. :(
