Please do not ever, ever again describe accusations of sexual harassment/sexual assault as 'non-consequential', 'grossly tawdry', a 'sex scandal', or an 'office romance'. Call it what it is; sexual harassment and sexual assault.
Seriously. We've already had about ten million times more than enough of having sexual harassment dismissed as just some sort of sex scandal/romance gone wrong/no biggie. This is not OK and is downright offensive to all the people - most of them women or AFAB - who have been through the hell of having their bosses coerce them into sexual activity as a power play.
It happened that I had an appointment with my rheumatologist the morning after Trump was elected in 2016. I barely slept that night, which is unheard of for me; I'm not the sort to let anxiety keep me awake. But Trump's election had overloaded my calming-down capacity.
At my appointment, I mentioned this to my rheumatologist. It turned out here was as horrified as I was. We barely talked about my arthritis, instead spending that time trying to process our feelings.
As we were winding down, I had an idea. "Doctor," I said, "I know you're not -- I mean, you're an MD, so you could prescribe -- um..."
"How does Xanax sound?" he asked. I told him it sounded wonderful, and I walked out with a prescription.
I still keep a supply of Xanax (which I have fondly nicknamed "Palindrome") on hand. I don't use it every day, but it's nice to have in reserve for the days when my own stress management tricks fall short.
Saw a headline about this on a YouTube clip but I didn't click, guessed randomly that it was probably the one that gave 'alignment of values' as reason for party switch to Republican...and was absolutely... right!

I looked Gil up . She is a real peach. A rotten one.
One wonders if she switched parties because being a sexual aggressor is so much more acceptable if you are a Republican.
SOMEONE's a cunning linguist, now aren't they?
I am, but I went to the Defense Language Institute at the Presidio of Monterey. The Sloat eagle never flew off on MY account.
Someone out there will know wtf I am talking about.
Ta, Gary. Salacious.
"Plaintiff suffered a back injury while performing in a car seat with his body having to twist and contort in the confined space of the car,”
Amateur.
Besides proving the guy is an idiot...?
"vacuuming up the national Xanax reserve"

And yet you haven't once shared....
Who do *I* have to lick to get some respect around the office?
It's a dog's life, soooooo...
Far too much information. Two things. I hope she bathed between sessions. And. Was she nice to him as well?

JFC!!!
Yikes...that's a lot. I would draw the line at back injuries. You never really fix that shit.

Who the hell does ayahuasca "regularly"?
Also, if your boss asks about forming a throuple, RUN AWAY!
Especially if you work for a Republican.
Thanks, Gary! I needed that.
