Today was long.
I had an 8 hour OSHA class.
Wash: Don't fall asleep now. Sleepiness is weakness of character. Ask anyone. You're acting captain. Know what happens you fall asleep now? Zoe: Jayne slits my throat, and takes over. Wash: That's right. Zoe: And we can't stop it.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

You win.

Yes, yes, she does.
So she now knows all the ways a desk can kill you?
( I know Allyson deals with scarier issues than that in the labs. But in my line of work, those sorts of sessions are all about ducking falling code manuals and tripping over power cords.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I had a meeting at the offices of a large company recently, and everywhere we turned were evacuation plans and other safety measures. We were kind of like WTF, but it turns out their industrial plants or whatever had some "issues" a while back, and they set safety as a prime organizational value -- and carried that through the whole company. I thought it was interesting, anyway. (Apparently the plants are very safe now.)

It doesn't feel like winning, though.

Oof. Allyson, 8 hours of OSHA is way way way too much.
I'm on day 3 of "cognitive coaching" training.

I'm too tired to go to bed. Problem.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Today was day 2 of staying home to sleep off the ick.
This morning I was awakened by a threatening phone call. Some woman repeatedly called me a bitch and a tramp, recited my address, and said she was coming to kick my ass.
So very random.

aurelia, that is two parts scary and three parts just not right.

So you thinks good now?
Man, I'm alternately punchy and depressed.
