Dear DCCC,
I will happily send you money every month if you promise to send me no more than one email a day.

Sincerely,
Every Democrat right now.

Today is the day that I found myself working for #Splunk -- a #Cisco Company.

(That last part is new.)

Today's phrase that makes me angry: "God won't give you more than you can handle."

Not even 8-year-olds who die of cancer? Not literal slaves? Not those so plagued with depression that they feel no choice but to end their own life?

What a naive position that betrays one's privilege.

I'm discovering just how out of touch I am trying to help a fresh-out-of-college friend cope with a terrible first job.

None of the solutions that would work for me apply to them. I forgot what it was like to be powerless in an employment relationship.
