Just Had An Email Come Round At Work.....

I am invited to a series of events to celebrate "bisexual awareness week" - Can anyone tell me the possible relevance of peoples bedroom arrangement has to my employment? This week it was something else of similar irrelevance! What's happenning in this strange world? Why is everyone obsessed with peoples' sexual preferences? How is it possibly relevant to what we do at work?

I suspect that so many of em have been on similar courses TTT and that the once taken for granted common sense and adult thinking has been squeezed out of them. I think some like to squeeze themselves a bit as well.

Ah   ...    jolly good Douglas has joined the resistance movement. Note the enthisiastic early attempts after a slugish awakening.

Oh, come on ... non-binary ... quantum computing ... ???

> A team from the University of Innsbruck, Austria, has developed a quantum computer that breaks out of the binary model. It can perform arbitrary calculations with so-called quantum digits, known as qudits, unlocking more computational power with fewer quantum particles.

Atheist, as one who regularly makes a show of bristling with holier than thou indignation at perceived rudeness, do you really think it acceptable to refer to those who disagree with you as gammons?   Nothing derogatory about that?

A long time ago (in the last century, before it became the rage it is today) one of the guys in the large IT department where I was employed changed his gender. While he was away having bits removed, all employees were sent an e-mail on the topic and invited to attend meetings to be briefed on how to handle the situation when he returned.

All seemed OK on her return, but she chose to leave after a short while because she found it too stressful.

I think the course would tell you to call him/her they.

//how to handle the situation//

EEwwww. Who would want to handle such a situation? I will stick to what I know thank you very much.
