“As the two share a light moment” it’s like I’m taking crazy pills

The fun thing about selectively re-embracing my childhood over-literalness is being able to be like “…I don’t get it” when someone silly tries to burn you for caring

That person was also driving, so presumably they were not presently at their job? Because jobs happen at different times throughout the day?

What happened, they can barely TOUCH

Riches beyond measure!

Truly!!!!! And the gender of it all feels like such a doozy

Thank you! 💙 It’s such an odd feeling. Just remembered that end of junior year of HS I wasn’t sure if I was gonna go back or do early college & I walked into the office wearing a brewery shirt (it’s a brewery town) and the lady yelled at me and I walked out and just never set foot on campus again 😂

This is the sort of thing that makes me want to walk into the woods and never come back. I feel completely bananas. I’ve been quite dedicated and doing really diligent work there, and it was just…thrown back in my face with a dress code like I was a truant high school kid.

My supervisor didn’t disagree with my points, but it’s just absolutely bizarre to me that it’s worth it to the organization to undo all of the work I’ve done to settle in there and turn it into an organizational home with one halfhearted policy that’s so much worse for anyone who can’t wear a skirt.

I spent years working to decide what was professionally appropriate to wear in the office when I transitioned out of women’s clothes. My work is excellent, and I was going into the office even more than required. A blanket policy is apparently more important than not alienating a dedicated worker.

Carrie was the biggest prude I’d ever met when that show came out when I was 19, and it was all downhill from there

I also think about this wrt little kids who grow up now with a lot of their interactions being filmed. The phone is like another presence in the room. We didn’t have that.

I struggle with zoom meetings, and I could absolutely NEVER film myself crying, because to my brain, the camera is (or at least represents) another viewer. I’m curious if there’s a generation for which this isn’t true, or cameras on them don’t add a layer of feeling perceived???
