When my daughter was in 7th grade, she was getting sick and throwing up frequently. It became an every day occurrence. Doctors kept brushing it off as a stomach bug or stress. One day when she woke up, her face was swollen up so I took her to the ER. Fortunately we finally had a doctor who didn’t brush us off and he…

Last summer a house my parents owned (inherited from my grandpa) burned down in a wild fire near Oroville... the house couldn’t be insured due to wild-fire risk. My cousin, who lived up the road, also lost his home; and my dad’s cousin lost his cabin. I don’t get how anyone could have a “fuck em” attitude, regardless…

Hey, it wasn’t what I was expecting either... I went into it blindly, thinking “cool, another standup to watch.” But oh my god. It was SO MUCH BETTER than I expected it to be. I’ve watched it several times now and I recommend it to friends and coworkers so often that they’re probably sick of hearing about it lol.

I (a woman) wear men's cargo shorts at work (warehouse, it gets hot running around all day). They're comfy and they have pockets! Pockets! The fashion police can rip them from my cold dead hands. 

Thanks.

Besides not trusting management in general, both my manager and the general manager act all bff with him. I don’t think I’ll be listened to. Only a few other people I work with know about the harassment, only one knows who. HR told me not to discuss it with anyone(the one guy I told who was harassing me I told before…

I asked them to at least consider having surveillance cameras installed in the break room to prevent something like this from happening again since the break room was where he’d usually corner me. They refused because they think it’d be an invasion of privacy, and suggested I avoid the break room. First of all, if…

The sad part is, she consulted with her manager, and we had a conference call (hr manager is at a different site). It was really overwhelming to sit there and hear my hr tell me they weren’t going to fire him, and the hr manager backing her up.

I haven’t posted in awhile. Last time I mentioned reporting sexual harassment to HR at my work.

I understand what you’re feeling. Just keep hanging on. Give yourself reasons to stay alive, even if they’re silly reasons. My fall-back reason to stay alive? I want to see how GoT ends. I’m... not even kidding. And it works. It’s dorky and so minor compared to all the reasons I SHOULD stay alive, but it helps.

My state is one party consent, I’ve checked in the past before I started off and on using voice memo. I’ll have to look for one of those.

He responded with “ok” to the message I sent him. I still have that message too, probably.

That would be great!

That thought came to mind too... like why don’t they want me to discuss it? There aren’t very many women at my job. Other than the hr rep, I’m the only woman there during the day. There are two women who work night shift. That’s it. If there were other women during my shift, I’d have warned them already. If we get…

I’m no longer married, but when I was I kept my name. I was never a fan of the tradition of a woman taking her husband’s last name, plus it’s a hassle, plus I liked mine better. My daughter has his last name, but she wants to change it to mine because she hates him (that story could fill a whole seperate post). If I…

Last week I finally told a guy I’m friends with at work a little bit, just that I was scared of the guy because he doesn’t keep his hands to himself. My friend started keeping an eye on things on days he was there. If he saw the guy approaching me, he’d walk over and ask me to help him with something real quick. After…

I did a thing this week.

Thank you!

My life took a weird turn.
