6/30 Help. Many people in my company suspect this HUGE figure is gay (Steve
Jobs), but we don't know for sure. He's one of the sweetest guys around
but lately he's been ignoring me. In fact I sense a strong hostility
from him, especially at recent meetings where he
dismisses all of my ideas, openly. I suspect it might
have something to do with the Propaganda Remix Posters I use as
my screen saver (http://homepage.mac.com/leperous/PhotoAlbum1.html
To be more specific, there are quite a few gay related posters,
such as the ones below:

I have nothing against gay people, I just use these posters because
they're sarcastic and anyone with any intelligence would probably
find them funny. However, I suspect these posters may have something
to do with his recent change of demeaners and hostility towards
no one but me, but I don't know for sure what the root of the
problem is. What's the best way to find out, and to correct this
misunderstanding? ok thx.
\_ Maybe he's a Republican. There are gay Republicans.
\_ change this one more time and motd dies.
\_ it's "demeanor". maybe he thinks _you're_ gay.
\_ You know, if you don't want trouble at work, you shouldn't use
provacative screen savers. Both sensitive homosexuals and
sensitive religious people could find these offensive. Why are
you surprised that someone got offended?
\_ No gay man would be offended. They're funny as hell.
Overly-sensitive religious types who "got it" could be
offended. I do agree, though. I wouldn't put these up
at work, unless I worked at Top Dog.
\_ I like the implicit assertion that there is no such thing
as a gay idiot.
\_ When it comes to sarcastic jokes about homosexuality,
they're pretty well-attuned
\_ Or an overly sensitive religious republican gay idiot for
that matter.
\_ I used to work at a company where there's an RCS script called
/usr/public/blowjob. The header said it started of as
/usr/public/blowjob. The header said it started off as
"getHeadRevision". Then it was changed to "getHead", and then
eventually "blowjob".
\_ Um, yeah what the screen saver guy said. I work at a gay
company and I asked five coworkers if they would be offended
by the above screen savers. Four laughed and said are you
kidding me and one said he would be offended. So if you don't
want to upset people at work, try to keep your politics off
your screen saver. As for how to rectify things, I would say
there is no easy way to do it. You could try putting an HRC
sticker on your monitor, though that risks offending people
who are opposed to gay equal rights and the probable result
that some might think you were "outing" yourself. The easiest
thing to do would to bring some gay friends around work and
make sure your boss sees you with them. You *do* have some
gay friends to bring around work, right...? -ausman
\_ Let's say I bring my gay friends to work, how the heck would
the director (which we presume is gay) know that they're gay?
I mean, you can tell occasionally but not all the time. -op
\_ hopefully he can figure it out..
\_ What's the point of having a screensaver with a modern monitor
anyway? Aren't monitors pretty much immune to screen burn now?
\_ Turn on the DPMS screen saver to save electricity instead. Or
better. Turn off the monitor and the machine when you leave
work.
\_ Turn on the DPMS screen saver to save electricity instead.
\_ Or better still--do both.
\_ Which company is it?
\_ I would agree that having political messages open for all to
see at work isn't a good idea. To ammend the relationship -- just
back off and give it a little time. Tempus dolorum diminuit. |

Fahrenheit 451: GW's favorite dream: a world where everyone's as stupid a s ... Kinda hard to tell who the enemy is when you're hopped up on pep pills, e h? So the FBI won't arrest the Anthrax mailer because he works for the US Go v't? Increasingly this looks more and more true and less and less like a joke. These people wouldn't smile so big if they knew they were costing EXXON m oney! What happened to the Evangelical Republicans' fear of the Mark of the Bea st? I pledge Allegiance to the Constitution and to the Republic which it crea ted. I don't believe Bush planned 9/11, but he sure ran with the ball Osama ga ve ... For someone who ran as an Isolationist, Bush sure governs like a Colonial ist! He lost an Election against a Dead Man so Bush put him in charge of our f reedom! When, exactly, did we REPLACE the Evil British Empire we rebelled against ? SUVs use 50% of our imported oil even though they're only 25% of the vehi cles! Will Tom Ridge please pick up a white courtesty phone and explain his ass ? Let's never forget that Bush lost the election by 15 million popular vot es. If you want to destroy the Earth, all you have to do is give GWBU$H some money. Put your hand the the puddle of goo that used to be your face and Thank G W Bush! It makes me sick how the Democrats rolled over on Iraq War 2 to win an el ection. Management wants to use technology to replace union jobs with nonunion wo rkers. Divide and Conquer: you can always pay half of the poor to kill the other half. Whatever happened to Bush's claims that he'd be the "education President? as in pointlessly trying to start a war in Korea while you're about to go into one in Iraq. I wonder how many people sending me "support the troops" emails have seen the dead Iraqi kids? Bush ignores Global Warming, hides the EPA's own reports, weakens the cle an air act and more. it's a Tax Shift, from the Rich to the Middle Class , from the Federal Level to the States. The numbers have gone up since I made this poster last month by almost 30 0,000 jobless Americans. I love these new laws which make protesting in sight of the President a c rime. The ghostly visage of John Ashcroft stares out over tortured Americans... I mean, except that we won't leave or turn on the water & electricity or let them rule themselves. Thank God the Corporate Media have finally investigated and made a nice glossy magazine about i t! They sure Brought It On, didn't they, President Toughguy? It's so easy to talk big when you're not behind the trigger. Like photos of "Iraqi Chemical Weapons Dumps" you can s how to the UN See, what they do is tell us "be afraid, there's a HUGE ATTACK coming!" It's been confirmed that Bush escorted Rich Saudis out of the USA on 9/11 . White-collar America needs to realize that THEIR jobs are being outsource d, too. This September, the GOP convention will shamelessly use 9/11 to get re-Se lected. We can't allow anyone to see any of those 600 coffins-it would destroy Ma rriage! Isn't the National Guard supposed to be the last line of DOMESTIC defense ? Ashcroft is subpoenaing women's Abortion Records-to Fight Terror I'm sure . Stay in place as the sole target or beg the world to help us out of our m ess... Bush has a foolproof way to win the next election-Steal it with rigged ma chines! Because the dummies are always easier motivated by religious hatred than love. No, Bush hasn't politicized National Security-Ridge & Ashcroft did it for him!
