ION I'm going to be working from home forever now because my daughter needs to be driven to and from school every day.

FFS, why don't they build a people mover pneumatic tube system already!

Jessica, that's a good point (about looking back). I'm old enough that I can remember when the general business environment was bad for woman and the casting couch was pretty much a given. Some men in power seemed to work on the assumption that being respectful of anyone who didn't control their employment was a sign of weakness; being respectful (if not downright fawning) of those who did control their employment was the way things worked.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

This, and also I think it's probably a good thing that we look back every 20 years and think "Holy crap, why did we think that was ever okay." It means we are slowly, gradually, painfully, moving vaguely forward?

Yes, thank you!

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Don't be ridiculous, Jessica.

There are no cons.

I used to work for an association for engineers. The problem with a people mover pneumatic tube is that, given a sufficient distance, the people would arrive completely squished (the comparison I heard was "strawberry jelly").

She's already Aeryndynamic.
