Posted by gail 5:59 BB time (we have to use BB time here as this board is off by 2 hours)

Just in case this is being posted . . . Eddie is giving Jamie a backrub. She is sitting and he is sitting behind her. While he was rubbing her back, she was looking at picture of his. Now, Eddie is laying down. Jamie is still sitting where she was.

Curtis is in the living room playing with Chiquita; Cassandra is working in the kitchen. Eddie is still laying in the lovebed reading a book. Camera just switched to guy's bedroom. Lights are off, looks like Josh is in his bed talking to one or more of the women but I can't tell who (voices are muffled).

In the kitchen now. Looks like Karen is frosting a cake. Cassandra is in the kitchen cooking and Curtis is helping out. Josh and Brittany are in the men's bedroom but still can't make out what they are saying.

Reminder to posters . . . on this temporary board, don't make your posts too long or they will come up as empty posts.

Whatever they are having for dinner sounds good! George just said, "A man does eat good here!" I think they are having some kind of pasta and homemade bread. Since it it a nice evening, they are setting up everything to eat outside. It is still Cassandra, George and Curtis in the kitchen making dinner. Chiquita is passing through.

Okay, the lights are on in the men's bedroom now. Josh is in his bed with the covers pulled up to his chin. Brittany is in another bed and they are talking. Can't tell what he is saying because his mike is under the covers.

More action in the kitchen - looks like it is dinner time.

Dinner is served - they are outside and everyone seems to be in a pretty happy mood. I think they have some of the homemade wine out there too.

Not much going on so far. They are all eating the dinner that Cassandra made. Sounds like BB just mad an announcement but couldnt really hear what he said. Something about the microphones. Eddie makes a joke about Josh jumping in the pool with his mic on.
Eddie - says they must be running low on microphones or the guy that fixes them must have been fired.
Talking about microphone problems. All chowing down.

BB asked them to be more careful with their microphones. Not to throw them around or get them wet. When they go to bed, put mics on the bedpost with the mic part clipped to the wire.

Some stories about how mics have been getting broken and speculation that BB must be running out of them.

approx 730 BB time...

More dinner conversation....

Talking about nicknames for BB voices.
Cam switched to Cassandra in the house..going into the RR it seemed.
Now talking about prejudices at dinner..Jamie saying something about a business owner's right to pick his employees versus an individual's right to look and act like they want to...i.e. if they have crazy hair...
Brit saying that her dad would never hire someone who looked like her.
Karen now responding to Brit's comment..talking about dress codes in businesses.
Brit says that most of people that cause trouble in her Dad's business or rentals fall into a certain category. Hard not to stereotype.
Eddie....saying something about tatoos of naked ladies on their arm?? Says if he got a tatoo..it would be somewhere where he could hide it if he wanted to. Cassandra now back it appears. Brit says she knows it's wrong to discriminate but some people make choices and know the repercussions..i.e. if you have alot of piercings..tatoos..u might not be hired. You should know that when you make those decisions.

Jamie now talking. Curtis explaining the legal background of discrimination law in employment. Jamie says there is a problem with bringing your personal life into your work. Not sure what she was responding to??
Cassandra talking about African-American hair styles and how employers view that. Some companies like Peat Marwick and Arthur Andersen brought up her braids when she had them and interviewed with them.
Cassandra saying that she can't see Brit with brown hair. Brit says - I need my pictures!!!
Josh - saying that he didn't get a job once b/c he had long hair but it didn't bother him b/c he made the decision not to cut his hair.

Brit - generalizing she realizes but says that people who have alot of tattoos and piercings usually aren't highly educated anyway so they are not looking for those types of jobs

Karen - says that Cassandra watches everything that she does at BB not only b/c her family and her own dignity but also b/c of her job. She has to act a certain way. She has to be professional b/c it is expected.
Loud plane...
George pipes in his two cents. Says you should just give employees a try. Their appearance does not matter..if they are a good worker that is all he cares about.

Dinner looks good. Haven't seen them all this relaxed for awhile. Cass called to RR. BB tell them all to watch their mics more carefully... and to put them on their bedpost overnight. Cass comes back with Topic for discussion: Should employers have the right to hire/fire people because of body piercings, outrageous hair, etc..

Consensus seems to be its wrong to discriminate because of appearance.. but understand that esp small business owners have to look out for their best interests (and appearance to public).
Eddie doesn't like some tattoos..for example a guy working with kids and a naked lady on his arm.
Karen points out that dress code and appearance "rules" should be in writing.
Brit: You have to be aware of how your are perceived by the public when you choose to look "different".
Josh thinks they shouldn't be discriminated because of appearance... pick employees based on qualification.
When you want a job you should dress and look appropriate for that position.
Jamie: I bet George had opinions of people at first becaues of hair color and piercings.. and now a month later he has blue hair.
Curtis: legally the traits that you can't change are the ones you have to be careful about. Piercings, body tatoos.. are choices. We should be open minded as employers but do we want to give legal protection?
Cass: Along racial lines.. my hair style some would see as outrageous or militant statement.. and might not hire me. For me it is cultural and I think its professional. Arther Anderson, Peat Marwick.. when she interviewed with them she had long braids...it was an issue.

K: Most people want to do business with professionals.. have a dress code and keep to it.
Ja: sees it changing..slowly

Cass: Do what you have to do to get the job and then be who you are after you have proved yourself and they'd have a hard time firing you.

7:55 BBT - Everyone outside around the table..George making the point that if he were in that position, he wouldn't hire people because of their looks...unless he had long hair that might get caught in the machinery, but not because of cosmetic reasons....George believes you should give everyone a try, and believe it or not, a lot of times it really works out...Cass asks him what it was that he even gave these type of people a chance...George says "why not?" "these people have to eat too!"...karen is very pensive....staring into space (ed....seeminly oblivious to the conversation, pondering her own dramas)

George's point is that even people just out of prison have "done their time" and should be given a chance....Brit talks about her own personal discriminations because of her appearance....everyone says they ate way too much...now 8PM BBT....wow, sound just freaked, new one for me....many conversations and laughing....

George talks about guys with earrings that "looked like fishing lures". give people a try.. they usually work out. I have a problem with long hair.. its a safety issue around machinery. But.. these people have to eat too. I've hire people who have been in jail, too. goes on and on... and then eddie says "look in the mirror lately?"

Brit says its obvious how stereotypes are prevalent. How she looks when she goes out determines what kind of guys hit on her. She has fun with that. Dress outrageous and goes to talk to some "preppy" to freak em out.

Dinner over and cleanup starts. Guess that is the end of the discussion for now.
