Story of the Day 8/ 7/ 2013




My son has a job!
I am referring to my deaf son, Aaron, who has been living at home, jobless, which is why I haven't cleaned the bathrooms in over a year.
I figure, he should be doing something constructive, productive, or maybe just .... disgusting- so that i don't have to do it.

At any rate, late last week, he was hired by a movie theater. He had an interview, filed in paperwork, showed them copies of his social security card, his driver's license and his circumcision records. Oh, okay, maybe not that last one.

And he went for training.

This theater is part of a large chain.
They have a very well thought out training program.

They have new employees watch several videos that explain about sexual harassment with people acting out scenarios. Not only scenarios of direct harassment, but even subtler things where a third person's looks may prompt a comment. Even an older female worker calling younger worker, "Honey" is brought up as something that can make a coworker uncomfortable.
I was rather impressed by the breadth of what was covered.

And then, they had some training videos about disabilities.
Of course, they already seemed to be doing rather well, since they had hired my son- the deaf one.

But someone did manage to miss a small detail.

This video wasn't captioned.
