Adventures in Philanthropy

My wonderful girlfriend is empoyed by a no-name charity in the Central Jersey area. In her short tenure as this non-prof.'s Event Planner there has been an enourous amoutn of turnover:

1 Event Planner
1 HR Director
2 Receptionists
1 Events Director
1 Administrative Assistant
1 Financial Department cubicle-dweller

Turnover isn't exactly the right word since the receptionist is the only position that was filled, well once. (The current receptionist just put in her notice.) The Administrative Assistant was recently let go for a number of reasons, cheif among them -- porn. Yes, porn. Her computer has over 300 explict websites bookmarked in the browser. They range from teen-queens to lesbians in action. There are also a number of websites in which one can purchase various sex toys. Granted this is a gross violation of compnay policy, but the best part was that the president and co-founder of this charity told this AA to leave immediatly or everyone in the company would know the last website she visited.

How do I know this threat was made? The idiot told my girlfriend in a meeting. And, now we come to the crux of the matter. This ego-maniac brings my girlfriend into a meeting to discuss with her the intimate details of another person's career for no other reason than to intimidate/impress her with his amazingly small penis. Seriously, is there any reason that an employee should know the details of someone's dismissal when that person was not a superior of the person dismissed? No. This is not the first time something like this has happened. A few weeks ago Dick related a story about how he fucked some woman from Tennessee while the door of my girlfriend's office is closed.

Does anyone else see a problem with this? I certainly do.

Dude, when are we going to write our novel? I've got the perfect idea: we'll create a fictional shore town and a dive bar in this town. We can use McGoverns for influence. Then, we'll tell the whole novel from within the bar - for the story line, we can simply tell the stories of our real life. You have a dysfunctional job and a steady emotional life. I have a dysfunctional sex life. Perfect!

Well, Mersault and I feel that it would be a better movie. I'll go over it with you this weekend. We just won't use a bar we'll use diners and other places as well.

Yeah, and I'm nt so sure that I have such a stable emotional life. Read "On Nervous Breakdowns" in the 17 July 2005 archive.
