The only power they have is what is given them.
So she's offended. And...? Grow up and get over yourself, Sweetie.

Maybe she would be alright if she thought you supported the politically correct causes.
Such as 'Save the Whales' or maybe even a poster from PETA....

Doesn't appear that the carpet matches the curtains!!

Yep.  The power they wield is amazing.

Amazing doesn't quite sum it up for those that don't have experience with the program or any of its counterpart initiatives within the other services. We can talk all the  :censored: we want on the internet, but in the end, the posters coming down. Sucks.

That's because I guess about 90% of "blondes" are not really blonde :)

And she needs a weed wacker!

I think your mistake was bringing part of your personal life to work.  That exposed you to a "non-producer" who was looking for something to make them relevant. 

My father-in-law used to say, "you can be a big fish in a little pond or a little fish in a big pond".  To that I will add, "don't splash around too much"

You have read my online name, haven't you?  Like I am not going to be surrounded by motorcycles.  I do have a lot of aircraft photos in my office as well.  Good thing none them have Lana Turner painted on them.

I have heard of people told to take down pics of WWII aircraft because of the racy nose art. I always have a "Ghosts" calendar in my office. I just looked and see that none of the pics this year have nose art. I wonder if that was a conscious decision knowing that many of us have these in our offices.

.... I think your mistake was bringing part of your personal life to work....

That should not be considered a mistake.... Even on ships the last bastion of the male dominated workplace it has become taboo to have girly calenders on display. We used to pay for one of the porn channels on DirecTV out of our own pockets but once the ship owners got wind of it they demanded that the channel be shut down....

There used to be a 'morale channel'  :o provided on the base cable service in more than one SWA location I visited in the early 2000's.
