: Okay guys - I need a little input here. I an absolutely FUMING
about
: this. I have been doing henna during my lunch hour at my office -
no
: charge, just for the practice and "advertising" aspect, if you
will.
: Once again, this is NOT on firm time, it's on my lunch hour. Well,
: today, I'm called to my supervisor's office and told that I can't
do
: henna on my lunch hour any more..... (HUH? Isn't this MY lunch
: hour?). I am very angry. I explained that it isn't on firm time,
: I'm not charging anyone, so it isn't a business being run here,
that
: it's something I do for my friends - no deal. I was THEN told -
: you'll LOVE this - that I can't bring my henna paste to work in my
: purse or backpack either (I responded by saying that it isn't a
: controlled substance and I'll do as I please on that issue). I
asked
: if the mehndi was the issue or just that I'm doing this on my lunch
: hour - it isn't the mehndi. I'm NOT real happy about this. The
: designs and concepts is well liked by the attorneys and staff
alike,
: it's pretty much a "personal" issue with this woman - she
: can't "control" me, so she harrasses me instead.... I don't mean
to
: whine. Ideas? Comments? Suggestions?
