  • I got sexually assaulted at work a year or so ago. Found out that more than one person had been bothered by the guy that touched me, but only verbally, he hadn’t touched anyone else. Told the HR lady, she launched an “investigation” and determined that, no, I didn’t get sexually assaulted, even tho 3 other women had a complaint about this guy talking dirty, and they had the beginning of my assault on camera. I was told he and I wouldn’t have to work together anymore “because we couldn’t get along”. But we continued to be assigned to the same tasks, often just the 2 of us alone in a wing of the warehouse.

    I quit about 6 months after it happened for other reasons, but mentioned it in my exit interview. I said “I got sexually assaulted and you didn’t do anything about it” and this sociopath hr lady looked me in the face and said “we did our due diligence, that never happened”.



  • I’m lucky enough to be in my 30s and still have grandpa and his wife (my grandma by all accounts, but she doesn’t want to be called that because it makes her feel old). I was visiting with them recently and said “I still feel like a stupid teenager. I don’t feel like I’m an adult that knows what they’re doing, I’m just doing the best I can” and my 83 year old grandpa replied “sweetheart, I still feel like I’m in my 20s, I don’t think anyone ever really figures it out, no one knows how to be an adult”.

    So i think the answer is: never


  • Not necessarily my favorite, but a nostalgic memory I have is my game manual from my Sega Genesis game “Mickey’s World of Illusuion”. Just like in the comic you mentioned, you couldn’t save your progress, but you could put codes in to jump to different levels. You got those codes by playing to the end of those levels. I was just a little kid, and played with my dad. My mom wrote all the level codes in the booklet for each level as we beat them together. I distinctly remember she wrote one of the later levels down wrong and we had to beat it from scratch, and from then on there was a patch of white out in the booklet where she corrected the code. I remember this SO vividly ! I remember her handwriting, and the texture of the white out spot, and the little pictures of Mickey and Donald that she doodled in the margins.

    Hey thanks for the sweet memory, and for the space to share it :')
