well a Starbucks doesn't allow me as much leeway wrt direct constant contact with the public. I am pretty sure no-one wants that.

Good luck, msbelle. I hope you can get out of that situation ASAP.
They do not review my work, even if I provide it early and then are furious if they find errors when they are on a job site. I literally had to say today that I would not be able to guarantee never making a mistake.
That's just incredibly stressful. Everyone makes mistakes.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

I'm sorry. I didn't realize that you were trying to minimize public contact. I'll step off.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
There's a new Hyperbole and a Half. Except it's not funny, and I'm trying hard to no cry at work right now.

Tom, I'd hug you if I could (and you'd accept). You are so much more than you give yourself credit for.

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
I feel like touching a spider.

I could totally touch a spider.

We have lots and lots of spiders around this fall for people to touch.
You know what I love about that comic? This comment down the page:
Wow. I never really understood what proper, actual depression felt like until this post. I think I've been a bit of a shit friend to my friends who have it. Soz dudes. :(
Ally is amazing and that comic is terribly sad but it's also awesome, and important.
{{hugs Tom}}

Oof. I think I'll save reading that one for later. Hugs to you Tom. (But not spider hugs. Unless you like that kind of thing.)
