  • Talk to your boss before your next shift - being proactive is key. Explain that you had a momentary blib of a reaction that embarrassed you and you left early. If your boss is anywhere near human, they will understand and offer guidance on what you can do if it ever happens again. Not that you owe your coworkers an explanation, but if you feel you need to address it, you can say something casual like, "sorry for the flip out yesterday, I'm not a great speller and can be embarrassed about it."

    This is a learning experience (albeit a terrible one). And if it makes you feel any better, anything I'm good at is because something terrible happened. I'm good at lots of stuff now. 😉

    Hang in there!!

  • I'd be really curious about what is really means and how you manage or cope with it. If I knew you for a while it would be just another thing to file away about your personality. It probably is something you would share with people you are close to, but you may need to educate them on what it means.

  • That a bon fire was a "bomb" fire and therefore, very loud and very dangerous.

  • We are getting better at navigating the system! Horrible skill unlocked. 😉

  • A pediatric neurologist told me definitively that my oldest son did not have autism. After a year of no improvement and assuming he was a particularly hard to diagnose, I got on the wait-list at the local university medical hospital. They were able to diagnose him quickly (apparently he's pretty text book, but the pediatric neurologist didn't ask the right questions). But he had been without supporting therapies and help in school for years as a result of the misdiagnosis.

    My other kid (also autistic) had an ear ache. The urgent care doc was unfamiliar with how to deal with an autistic kid and assumed he didn't have an ear infection. The next day his ear drum burst and we ended up at the big children's hospital.

    In both cases we had huge delays in appropriate care and had to pay twice.

  • Was this in SeaTac?

    Edit: looks like it was on Dexter.

  • Lots of the places where be traveled have American restaurants. They are a fascinating look into what people think is American. I love it

  • Maybe they should warn the healthcare executives not to be such terrible people.

  • I came from an upper middle class family have 2 great parents, and have wonderful extended family near by.

  • We hosted one while I was in college. He fit into our family well and we still stay in touch 20 years later.

  • I assume there will be a Go Fund Me for his legal fees...

  • Unknown! Profit share is something I've done with my own business and feel like it produces better outcomes for everyone (we measure our impact on customers, employees, owners, the business and community to make sure we are serving all of them). I'm looking into actually granting shares, so it is more real for the employees. Maybe other owners don't do it because it does require some amount of effort and transparency into company performance. IMO, owners can be really lazy.

  • COVID originated in the swamps of the deep south.

    Edit: obviously, not really, but we shouldnt be too quick to judge where it came from.

  • Unknown. We decided it would be easier to move. 🤷

  • Nothing scarier to a conservative than a liberal woman with a gun. I'm in.

  • I called them when someone was standing on my neighbor's porch with a shotgun shouting.
