My office has a "first-aid room" downstairs that is also used as a nursing room for moms and, most often, as a nap room for everyone else. All one has to do is pick up the key at the front desk and head downstairs for some sleep.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

With the redesign, there's a mothers room at work now. It's a dark little cubby hole with lots of filing cabinets. I would neither sleep in their, nor bare my nipples for milky purposes.

Thanks for liking my outfit, Scrappy!

Maybe they want to prevent prophylaxis?

That was the craziest bipolar distribution I have ever seen. Makes me wonder if there is an error.

Digging through WVS docs, the question was originally an either/or, and then changed to a 10 point scale. It looks like the less nuanced version was still used in India in 2005. They do clearly distinguish the two versions of the question, and there are other countries where there's only data for the 2-answer version. To me it looks like a mistake in how data for that question is indexed, but the site is a maze so there may be an explanation for it that I just didn't stumble across.

thanks for digging into the docs. They need to put an asterisk by India.

When I was hired here, we were explicitly told that sleeping anywhere on the premises was a major no-no. Which is probably why they took the comfy loveseat out of the women's rest room in the remodel a couple of years ago. I wonder how many execs are napping in their fancy offices with the lockable doors over in the Big House across the field/parking lot.

Wearing socks, lounge pants and oversized tee. Considering the hoodie that's within arm's reach, as it is between comfy and just-a-little coolish in the house right now.

P-C, belated Happy Birthday. By the time I got online yesterday it was today.

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
