    Wait till you have a kid that’s into Minecraft. Meetings are an escape.

        My kid just found out that they put the song “Steve’s lava chicken” in a jukebox and it’s making me consider heroine as an escape lol.

        (Not really, it’s just a hyperbole joke, I don’t need concerned messages)

        I’m a school bus driver and one of my kids spent all of last year yelling that in the back of the bus. My job would be so much better if we were just permitted to use duct tape.

    But the tiny needles have a purpose and visible effect. Meanwhile the meetings yield no results.

    No, corporate meetings are FAR worse. I’d much rather endure a couple of hours of physical pain rather than the mental torture for 30 mins.

    The indelible markings they want are the soulless eyes and empty obeisance, though — not awareness of self. 🤮

    Come to academia. At least 25% of my coworkers have visible tattoos (generally ankle or forearm).

    I’m strongly considering a wrist tattoo, on the side facing me but not the underside.

        Maybe, if something speaks to me. Downside of face tattoos is wrinkles. I’m middle-aged, and wrinkles are right around the corner for me.

        Right now a cute critter on my wrist would make me happy (and, side-benefit, keep me from biting my wrist when I get super stressed–no biting wrist friend! [I’ve tested this with temporary tattoos and it works for me.])

    This is how classes in college feel too. Slight exaggeration, but it feels like in every I’m either excruciatingly bored or incredibly infuriated
