Don't belong. Dangerous, like you. Can't be controlled. Can't be trusted. Everyone could just go on without me and not have to worry. People could be what they wanted to be. Could be with the people they wanted. Live simple. No secrets.

oh Teppy, all my sympathy for you and Tim ... I know that even when you're expecting it, it still hurts

And Vortex - yeah, that's kind of what it's like, only I'd show up on those sensors. Laura, since I'm usually the only woman in the office (if not the only one at all), I don't worry about other people not washing their hands - I'll grab a paper towel (which are full-contact so I can) and use that on the door handles. It's just the frustration. And annoyance. There's SUPPOSED to be a manual alternative but either they didn't install it in the women's rest room or I don't have the strength to get them to work. Honestly, if this is the case elsewhere, no wonder people don't wash their hands.

In better news, the IRS has decided that having people use facial recognition to access their records is not a good idea. This may be encouraging - it's a glimmer of intelligence in The Bureaucracy (not ours, which is chock full of smarts).

Somehow scheduling a DNA test is falling on Mom. This seems wrong. If the mother of this other child wants to establish paternity she needs to schedule even if someone else ends up paying for it..

SJ I'm sorry about your contractor.

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

I’m so sorry, Steph

My condolences to you and Tim, Steph.

Toddson, at least they don't have automatic doors that can malfunction once people are closed in the restroom?

I'm so sorry, Steph & Tim. And, yes, it's always sudden.
