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.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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
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.

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.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That's awful, aurelia. And bizarre.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
