"That's what vacation time is for," I recall my boss saying. I really didn't care what days we got off as long as there were multiple instances of three-day weekends on the calendar, but all the same I came away from the event with a bad taste in my mouth.

That's wrong and that's just plain ignorant. I can understand not knowing the dates of Ramadan or not knowing how to pronounce Ramadan, but just taking a xenophobic stance on the whole thing?

(can I say fuck on your blog, karsh?) You work with some dangerously ignorant people. Situations like these make me wonder why I moved to the South. Sure, stupidity is everywhere but I swear I never had these kinds of incidents in Chicago. I was pissed after <i>"Well, I guess since we do have some Jews..."</i> Is she descendant of pharoahs? What the bloody fuck? (can I say fuck on your blog, karsh?)

Insane and remarkably stupid. (I know, that's not news to you, but I think it's good to reaffirm that you are not the crazy one.) How you can look these people in the face is completely beyond me. I'd say get another job--immediately--but my fear is that every workplace is turning into a sheltered workshop like this, and that all we can do is try to maneuver ourselves into the one that pays better. Fun summer idea: Get an aquarium for the office, fill it with water, get a cheap toaster and immerse it in the aquarium. Plug it in. Tape a sign to the wall above that says "Stick your head in here."
