    theyve told me that as i'm more 'nurturing', i should make drinks for clients/our operatives/three other staff members whenever they want one, regardless of what i'm doing. they've told me that as it looks better coming from a woman, i should be prepared to routinely offer drinks to members of meetings held in the office even if i'm not sitting in on them

    Is any of it written in your job description?

    You're expected to make drinks for your co-workers?

    Yea...that sounds like something HR should know about. If you could get it in writing or recording, that'd be even better. Less of a chance of it being your word vs theirs.

    That *kitten* would not fly with me. “Nurturing” in this case seems to be code for being female.

    I once worked for a really wonderful woman, a partner in the company, who absolutely forbade me to do any washing up in the office kitchen. She said it would set us back 30 years. I believe she was right.

    breasts are beautiful because they feed little humans and we shouldn’t have to hide them.

    Yet do not wear anything to show them, if little humans aren’t attached.

    Noted!

    I'd tell my boss he better bring cab fare to the court house because I'd be driving his beamer back to my place.

    You said that just right

    i've been reading spoilers about the new Terminator movie and it sounds like hot garbage which makes me sad cause i've always liked the series. maybe it'll be awesome though who knows

    but i really want someone to make a Terminator movie where the machine doesn't, yknow, take the form of a buff guy like Arnold, or creepy murderous looking Robert Patrick.

    I want a movie where the Terminator is played by Warwick Davis instead. if the Terminator's mission is to infiltrate and then kill people by getting close to them, he's the perfect choice honestly because nobody would ever expect it.

    I like your story line...I'd watch it!

    I was crabby while cleaning the basement but since I’ve had a good chuckle I don’t seem to be minding all this packing and reorganizing. I’m gonna be sore later that’s for sure.

    Looks like a series I'd rather binge watch vs a week to week viewing. Although, my curiosity would likely get the better of me .

    yennefer is totally inaccurate but main guy looks great
    Yeah, I feel the same way. Henry Cavill looks great as Geralt, but Anya Chalotra is completely wrong for Yennefer. There is zero resemblance whatsoever. Yenn was my favourite character (and go-to love interest in the series), so I'm extremely biased regarding this lol.

    Granted, there are rumours that Yennefer is actually much, much older than she looks and is using magic to alter her appearance. So I guess there is a little bit of leeway, but it's still somewhat annoying.

    Which actress would you have selected instead? My pick would have been a young Jennifer Connely, factoring in that Yennefer was meant to have been a Sorceress, a legendary dark haired beauty with violet eyes, well into the mid to upper 90s in age, who had used her craft to stave off the effects of aging.
