Me and the girlfriend arrived for vacation down here in Destin.... and I can tell already I’m gonna want to spend half my time just staring at my phone - twitter and VN - soaking up Vol news. Practice is back. Inject this ish into my veins. I can not wait to see what year three under Pruitt has in store.

I cant imagine the restraint it takes to not whip his ass. In regards to the 2a thing, pepper spray is probably the only thing. Most company policies will prohibit weapons on premises and will result in termination for your wife as well. It's up to you and your wife on the risk of each. Is there a way to transfer to another property?

So I had a different idea. As part of the housekeeping staff, there are plenty of spray cleaners that would work just as well as pepper spray. “He startled me when I was cleaning... I didn’t mean to spray him...”

And then accidentally grab the towel with really abrasive chemicals on it to help him clean his eyes....

@VolGee4 and any other resident lawyers. Can I get some advice?

My wife works as a supervisor of housekeepers at a resort in FL. Been there over 2 years and is next in line for management. Her company(one of largest housekeeping contractors in the world) is contracted by the resort to do all housekeeping and has their own management/employee structure on site. They work closely with the resorts management, front desk staff and maintenance staff. My wife inspects rooms done by housekeepers and places calls for amenities and any maintenance issues she sees.

A maintenance man has sexually harassed her twice in a physical way. Once in an elevator where he bent down and put his forehead against hers....eye to eye an inch apart. The elevator stopped, she hurriedly got off and told her second manager in charge but told her she wanted to handle it and tell him never to touch her again. Before she could, the next day she was helping a housekeeper who was behind. Wife was inspecting the kitchen, housekeeper was back in the bedroom. This maintenance guy walks in and snacks my wife on the ass(not with his hand...she couldn't tell what with). She said angrily "Did you just smack my ass?" He said "yes...I was just playing." The housekeeper came out going off on him for it and he went out on the balcony. My wife went and told him never to touch her or come near her again. She then went and told management.

A meeting was held with her company and the resort's management. My wife said she didn't ever want to have to see him, be near him or be alone with him. The resort confirmed the incident with the housekeeper that witnessed it and my wife's boss called their company's HR to communicate with the resort's HR. It has been two weeks, he has not been fired she has seen him repeatedly, he was not suspended and he has responded to maintenance calls putting him alone in a room with her 3 times.

I have voiced my frustration to my wife's boss and he said to keep a journal. We have written down times, dates and locations of all contact. My wife has been sexually assaulted in the past and has PTSD/anxiety and this is bringing that up and affecting her job performance. She has learned that they have no plans to fire him but might put him on a night shift that still overlaps with her days that run late.

I want to f*** this guy up but that could cause her to lose her job. I feel like her feelings in this matter dont mean **** and neither does her safety....he could follow her in a room at any time and do anything. She doesn't want to sue the resort and definitely doesn't want to to her company but I feel like she should sue the resort....they own dozens of properties with thousands of employees.

Does she have a case? Btw, this guy is almost 50, is married and knows my wife is married. Sorry for the book, just wanting advice while I wait for lawyers to call back and Google is not specific. TIA.

My assessment would probably be along the lines of what WBO stated above. If the company had prior knowledge of incidents or if he does it again (now that they are on notice), then that is a much better case. At this point, the case is probably against him, and he probably has no real assets.

It’s not my area of practice, but I would definitely document everything. Chizzle has an interesting idea of a camera, but I’m not sure how that reconciles with being a housekeeping supervisor who also inspects private rooms. Careful with that.

The other thing is that she will have to show damages if it happens again. If it truly has caused her emotional stress, then doctor’s records would help more.

Sorry that you are going through that.

The craft beer phenomenon is just further proof that people have more money than they have sense. I'm not going to pay 5 or 6 dollars or more for a stinking glass of beer.

So what do you order when you go to a steakhouse? Anything more than a hamburger or meatloaf, and you are ordering the craft beer of meat.

Enjoy. My max screen time/ covid recommendations: Door dash beach liquor online. Every beer on Earth delivered to your door. Blalock shrimp to go. You have to go in there to get it but it's easy. Crazy cheap compared to everywhere else there and delicious.

Basilio is hearing that UT has requested a reasonable opener vs Missouri or at South Carolina. Let’s hope Pruitt has that Game 1 prep improved at this point.

Guarantee the concessions laid out during the teleconference was the teams that got the sh** end of the stick get a better schedule layout. Thatd be the only thing that would silence me if I was Pruitt or Fulmer.

Lol. I know beer. There is some bad craft beer, too. I know everyone’s different, but the taste between craft and an adjunct massed produced beer is far a part.

I think a better analogy would the difference between Levis and a pair of "designer" jeans. The quality is better with the mass produced product simply because they have more resources to devote to the process. My beer of choice is Pilsner Urquell They have been producing for many decades and have it perfected. And I don't feel like I'm being mugged when I buy a 6 pack.

Everybody in the craft brewing business seems to be in a race to create the perfect IPA, which I consider to be a fundamentally flawed product.

Beer is a matter of taste more than most things. You clearly have none. A Bearded Iris Homestyle is quite possibly actual mother's milk from Hera herself. Keep drinking your skunk Pilsner and let the aristocrats enjoy their more sophisticated palates.
