Another i'm unlearning: People at work who DM me about are _not_ upset at me by default.

I had a boss who would say "hi" and nothing else.

I also worked somewhere that anything I said would be repeated and twisted against me in the future.

If anything "good" came out of this, I now have an extremely high tolerance for misunderstandings. And I'm SO GLAD I don't have to manufacturer "examples" to use in performance reviews.

Some days I wanna print the Black Book of all these fuckers. Then again, I ultimately choose not to, because it would hurt me more than it would hurt them. Sucks to be the less privileged one.
