Hey ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
jameel!
October 9th through the 15th is Bring Your Culture to Work Week. Clearly we would be serving the interests of UPMC if we brought our culture into work.
-Hold a recipe contest for staff to bring in family recipes
"Energon cube, anyone? This one is made from hydroelectric power."
"Too boring for me, this sucker's nuclear Energon."
-Attend a foreign film
12 STRAIGHT HOURS OF DBZ!
-Attend a cultural performance, event, or exhibit with a group.
This one might be tricky, considering that it might be hard to promote a joint ER/Medical Records movie viewing. Still, no one can argue that viewing Transformes: The Movie would be an intense and moving introduction to our culture.
- Tour the University of Pittsburgh's Nationality Rooms.
"Sirs, please stop insisting that mecha be added as a separate display room... No, we are not oppressing your culture, it's just that... No, sirs, we do NOT have a Mushroom Kingdom room!"
-Wear cultural attire representing your ethnicity
"No. SOUND. The forehead protector symbol means I'm a *Sound* ninja!"
...You've aleady got this one covered, just wear a short-sleeved shirt.
-Create a display of flags from around the world
"They probably meant Earth."
"Screw that and fix the Iacon flag, it's crooked."
-Play music from different cultures throughout the day
"Wait, explain to me again what the hell 'the Touch' is?"
"Aaagh, you'll never get it. I'm switching to the "Closer" Mario remix."
- Share with coworkers how to say "hello," "please," "thank you," and "goodbye" in different languages.
"BAH WEEP GRAA NA WEEP NINNY BONG!"
"Bah weep graa na weep ninny bong?"
"BAH WEEP GRAA NA WEEP NINNY BONG!"
"BAH WEEP GRAA NA WEEP NINNY BONG!"

The game in question is online freeform roleplaying. One important rule this game is to avoid excessive crossover between player information and character information. Thus the term "blending" to describe this.
The night before the post in question, a player hitherto unfamiliar took the actions of my character as a personal attack by me against him. More surprisingly, people with whom I have had a long history with, who I have played with over years, and who otherwise know this rule and advocate it, encouraged the player in question to do just that. This includes a player who has always advocated against doing just that, a player who considers herself a voice of reason and an excellent roleplayer. For some reason, it was absolutely okay to abandon the rules and courtesy anyone else would expect, because I was the player in question.
This leads us to the incident in question, in which the character played by the aforementioned player abruptly and inexplicably threatened a different character of mine entirely. Two of the players previously witness to the events of the night before were there and once again did nothing to discourage the event. I have reason to believe it was in fact actively encouraged, though one way or the other this continuation of outrageous behavior prompted my post of the 19th.
Questions? ^.^
