Way to go, shrift!
Right, there comes a point where you have to either move on, or just buy yourself a Klingon costume and go with it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
shrift, that deserves at least TWO gold stars.
The first year I lived in Cincinnati I was on Fairview right at the top of Ravine St
Daaaaang.

I see you know the intersection I speak of, that horrific six way intersection with two blind hills leading up to it.

What was that, Ravine/Fairview/West McMillan? It's like a dare.
Though the one good thing in its favor is its proximity to China Food.

Yep, that's the one. And then there's the little spur of Old McMillan street that is like 100 feet from the main intersection. I almost got hit there many times, both in a car and as a pedestrian.

Always Anti-fascist!
I could gloat, but it's cold for us right now, and in a few months I'm gonna be living in the devil's asshole, anyway.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
shrift, yes, being reasonably functional under those circs earns stars.
ND, that intersection sounds like the sort of thing you do when you're young because you don't know you can't.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG, I am so easy. I've been down on myself and my job for the last few days, but today two different senior people supported me in minor but tricky things, and one of my staff people was thanked by another org leader, and now I feel great.

On my way home, I spent a good 3 minutes strategizing on how to cross the 4' of sidewalk between where I stood in the field and the salted slushy road. Ended up transversing on grass to where the concrete was rougher and had dead grass popping through so I had traction. It was GLASS.
Lisah, is the snowmelt the sugar based stuff? Sarah got it one year and we loved it but haven't seen it since. So much less corrosive. Slightly sticky, but no more so than the mess -chlorides make.
