Seems I miss all the fun. A girl at work put a HR complaint in because another coworker said the R word when talking about her toddler with palsy (or something, he had a stroke in utero). "Any idea from the Dr's whether he'll have the R word or not?" was all that was innocently but ignorantly asked amidst a deep conversation about his condition at the work party last week. It was just an old fuddy duddy using the incorrect word, no offense was meant.
But the complaint read; "They called my son retarded!!"
Anyway the fallout will be interesting because this girl has been causing drama with lots of people for a long while.
