I am torn about what I should do. I am black, and if she were using the word "nigger," I would call her on it and raise issue with our HR department. Can I file a complaint on behalf of a group I do not belong to? If she found out I complained, she would see it as a threat to her own job, which could lead to a decidedly hostile workplace. But if it were a racial slur, I would not let that deter me. I want to do the right thing. How would you handle the situation?
Not My Problem?
If someone at my office were tossing the word "nigger" around, NMP, I would lodge a complaint. I would resent the assumption on my coworker's part that since I'm white she can use racist speech in my presence, because, hey, all us white people are racist POS, right? And I would complain because a workplace that tolerates racist remarks is a workplace that tolerates homophobic remarks. If people are using "nigger" when there aren't any black people in the room, they're doubtless using "faggot" when there aren't any gay people in the room. And vice versa. Have a word with HR.

Caryl Churchhill has been at the forefront of world theatre for three decades. with plays such as Cloud Nine, Serious Money, Mad Forest and Blue Heart she has simultaneously taken the political pulse of the times and stretched our notions of what a play can be. Her minature masterpiece Far Away once again defies category and precedent.
Set in an unnamed totalitarian state in the near future, Far Away draws disturbingly on our recent memories of conflict - Bosnia? Northern Ireland? Iraq? - and combines this with an Alice in Wonderland fantasy world in which the familiar is made strange and the strange, familiar. Marked - as always - by Churchill's brilliant and evocative language, the play climaxes in one of the most remarkable soliloquies in modern theatre. Far Away is an exhilarating challenge to the mind and emotions.

We are the shapes of His wrath
Hadrian's Wall, Northern Britain, 410AD.
An atmosphere of menacing violence hangs over the land and infects all that would be good and pure. A Saxon community is facing destruction. Torn apart by the continued attacks of the Celts they face an even greater danger from within: A darkness that threatens to rip all forms of civilization from the land - a darkness that manifests itself in the terrifying form of ravaging werewolves.
Directed by Duncan Sharp and senior Performance Studies student Cassandra Vagliviello, this disturbingly atmospheric play creates a world where reality is defined by emotion death is ever present. With echoes of modern conflicts ( Northern Ireland, Palestine, Iraq) ringing in our ears this eerily unsettling play offers a chance of hope through the actions of individuals.
Dates: April 1-5, 8pm

Why, I can smile; and murder while I smile
England has been broken by bloody and relentless civil strife between the families of Lancaster and victorious York. As the smoke clears, Richard Gloucester, the deformed son bitterly dismissed by his triumphant family, unleashes his vicious ambition upon the royal line to seize that which should be his - the crown.
In the intimate Upstairs Theatre, a cast of twelve explores a play renowned for its dark humour and ironic tragedy as well as its stark commentary on the motives and manipulations of those who we empower to lead our society. This production reveals a monarchy more akin to the Sopranos than the Windsors.
Through a dynamic rehearsal process, audiences can expect a quick witted, high energy approach that captures the imagination and enlightens the verse. The design will blend the excess of contemporary culture with the best flourishes of Elizabethan eclecticism.
Shakespeare's most adored and reviled villain is instantly recognizable in this new production of Richard III from Curtin's Hayman Theatre Company.

Ok so i really wish i could go back to sleep, i really cannot be bothered. But *groan* i think i have to do the street rounds today and collect for the heart foundation. Why did i volunteer to do such a thing? At this stage i can't remember but the walking shall be good. Pfft like anyone's gonna be home. Stupid weekend-consuming work induction.
Am gonna see if i can make this as pretty as my other journal. Odds this will work? um..at this stage I'm not willing to accept 'no' from Judy*.
Possible success? This is Icarus. Not my work of course, but definitely deserves to be seen. Just brilliant *grin*
And now to waste time further reading.
*waves*
*The computer

so yea, if people actually read this thing, im not really this pointless all the time, i just prefer myspace. *groan* i cant believe i actually said that...omg i said it twice...shit. o well. yea, if u really wanna see the works of art that are my blogs, my myspace thing html is 'ana_otaku', but ofcourse u wont actually be able to see my myspace coz its a private unless people ask nicely to be my "friend". i really dont like the idea of strangers looking at what's mine or what i write, even on something as pathetic and meaningless to me personally as myspace.
