Occupational hazards

Do have any that aren't actually dangerous, but are unique to what you do?

For example, I work for a clothing company. Every day, I live in fear that someone else will show up wearing the same outfit I have on. lol

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Working in an office is risky!!! I once accidentally stapled my thumb sad . But that was a one time thing! I am mostly scared of paper cuts.....

Sometimes I pick up paper from the copier like a Princess smile .


I also worry that there may b no coffee and tim tams left if I am late so getting in early is important nod !

I liaise for my employer with a number of religious communities and... well... let's say "insular community groups."

I've discovered the hard way that: Some of these constituents mix far worse than I'd anticipated. (Oddly, in direct proportion, it seems, to their level of similarity. confuse). Others are remarkably sensitive to how the most innocuous points of conversation are articulated. And the only thing one can safely serve at an interfaith function without fear of generating fireworks from some faction is room temperature water.

As for mixing worse than you'd anticipated, you must mean Missouri Synod and Wisconsin Synod Lutherans.

I cannot make errors at work. If I do the wrong person could end up getting arrested, evicted or have their wages garnished for example. sad

Gotta be a hundred percent accurate every single day.

I work from home for myself.
Nothing really apart from working in sweats and uggs
Having iTunes on shuffle all day
Endless jugs of "tea" = a gazillion bathroom visits (this way I get plenty of breaks so I don't just sit)
I'm the mistake you wanna make

Obviously someone underaged, if she could end up getting arrested.

I'm not sure how bangin' some jail bait could end up getting your wages garnished though. shrug

lol I have never been to the bathroom so much in my life. It's crazy. My parents hate the sight of my grey sweatpants now, so I've noted that I'll need to vary my wardrobe more so that Mon doesn't get mad.

I'm sure it's good for you neutral unless we are like OVERhydrating ourselves!

I have started to listen to podcasts now - like Here's the Thing (Alec Baldwin interviews people)

They feel like friends keeping me company and telling me funny stories

I listen to music, or sometimes even watch movies. It's funny I have 'work' that I can do while watching movies. lol

Ain't that the truth? shake

Another one for me: Working for a clothing company, I spend way too much money on (and have) way too much clothing.

My dad once said to me, "So how does it work? Do you just sign your paychecks back to them or what?" confused lol

I can completely understand the too much clothes, because I reached that level too. Although, I don't have any denim shoes...I wonder where one could get some (not that I want any!)? [Yes, it's a nod to JohnArt fashion]
