Welcome to the Freethought Forum
The lofty high Renaissance and marked mannerism. The heavy and ornate Baroque era, followed by the gentle Rococo. Harsh neo-classicism, rich romanticism, lush naturalism, stern realism, blurred impressionism. Heady surrealism, blockish cubism, postwar Dada, pointy-cornered art deco and cookie cutter Bauhaus. Let us skip the dreariness of the past half century and arrive finally at FF Style.

WASPs Honored...Finally
Mar 10, 2010 - 4:07 PM - by Garnet
First Female Military Pilots in WWII to Receive Congressional Medals - ABC News

Quote:
When Dori Martin and Marylyn Myers Peyton joined the U.S. Air Force in the 1940s, little did they know that they would one day become a part of history.

Martin, 88, and Peyton, 86, were part of the thousand or so women who were recruited as civilian pilots in the U.S. military at the height of World War II. These Women Airforce Service Pilots -- better known as WASP -- became the first females to fly military aircraft for the U.S. armed forces.

"We never thought of ourselves as making history," Martin said.

Today, nearly 66 years after their service, the first fly girls will be awarded the Congressional medal of honor.

Jerk of the Week Awards
Mar 10, 2010 - 11:27 AM - by Cliche Guevara
Todays Jerk of the Week Award comes to you via my boss.

Why?

I'll fuckin' tell ya why!!!1!111


On Sunday I start work half an hour early, unpaid, with my colleague, to get things all operational and smooth running before we open shop at the paid time of 10am. I bend down to grab something at floor level and clock myself on a display spike. This causes a wound that makes blood drizzle down my face (from the top of my scalp) and makes me feel woozy and blurry visioned. My colleague is horrified and commands me to sit. I go home shortly after because I'm having trouble managing simple customer requests - things that are usually pretty straightforward - and find myself with a crazy bad headache and I sleep pretty solidly for 2 days, calling in sick - via my sister - for concussion. When I return, still with headaches but manageable , my boss is sarcastic about my concussion, and then mentions the offending sharp metal protrusions "yeah, you have to watch out for those". Lucky I didn't remove an eyeball - quite possible in the circumstances.

So, me'n'my colleague rearranged some things today to minimise that risk. My bosses response? "Oh, no, no, no, - that doesn't look good" "But it minimises the risk", we say. ""oh not by much, and it looks awful". So, he knows of the hazard, knows of the potential danger...and couldn't give a fuck really.

Silly him. Especially seeing as he chose to dock my pay for Sunday and Monday (time off that I wouldn't have had if it hadn't been for his cavalier attitude to workplace safety and it's impact on me (concussion) that busy Sunday morning).

Soapy little tit wank. I'll show him, the fucker!
:fuming:


So who's your Jerk of the Week? And why?
