(mr. turner) [laughing] she was so serious! (female) well she came in today... (mr. turner) [laughing] i crack myself up some... good afternoon, ms. raymond. well earlier on today, ms. raymond had came to me regarding an issue she feels that hasn't been taken seriously. ms. raymond, can you please state your issue again? first, mr. turner gave me some papers to file. there was pornography inside the stack. i asked him can he be more careful. he said okay. second incident, there was pornography on the computer. i feel he's not taking me very seriously. i think the situation is being blown out of proportion. this is a situation that could have been solved between the both of us, and i feel that not only is she wasting my time, she's wasting your time also.

and if you ask me, i think she's actually more interested in the pornography than me. [laughs] okay, i'm going to have to side with mr. turner on this because i feel like this situation could have been resolved from the both of you guys. um, now as you know, i am a very busy woman, and this sounds like a personal issue to me and certainly a real waste of my time. now i have to get going because i do have to run to a meeting. (mr. turner) well, victoria, as you know, it's always a pleasure. i'll be seeing you tomorrow for lunch. mrs. raymond, if you feel you need to talk about anything, come see me in my office. briana, i'm sorry i didn't listen to you the first time when you told me that mr. turner was sexually harassing you. it took me a while to realize that we both was being sexually harassed. so what do you think we should do? i think we should call eeoc. hello,
