Repeated several times by a construction worker walking down the hallway of the hospital where I work.

I do this every day and it really helps!

For background I have had RLS ever since I started antidepressants. It only bothered me occasionally until I had been doing ultrasound for about a year, at which point my symptoms suddenly became vicious and unbearable.

A coworker suggested a cervical spine adjustment from a chiropractor. I got it and it did NOTHING (possibly because my regular chiropractor pawned me off on his son, who is a bit of a nepo baby).

I youtubed exercises for the muscle and this has been incredibly helpful.

I also wear an armband for my probe cable, do yin yoga before bed, and take ropinerol, so it's definitely not a magic bullet. But it's a (100% free) piece of the puzzle which has made my nights into much less of a living hell.

Customer at Greyhound station: 2 tickets to Washington DC.

Marco's mom: All right, 2 tickets to Warshington.

Customer: There ain't no "R" in Washington.

Marco's mom: There ain't no "R" in "fuck you," neither! This winder's closed! *Slams window*

[US] [LA] I (55F) am an imaging tech at a hospital. My manager has some mean girl tendencies, and is supported by several of her mean girl minions.

I went to my manager and the assistant manager to complain after the minions' treatment of me became intolerable. To her credit, my manager did take me seriously, tell me that she had gotten complaints from others, and took the team leads aside to talk to them. And they have managed to treat me more civilly since then.

Not so for everyone on the team.

My coworker Olivia (26F) has been bullied relentlessly since she came back from maternity leave. Today the manager called her into the office for the second time to say that she received complaints that Olivia smells bad.

(She objectively does not.)

Today the manager gave her a can of body spray and said if her sensitive skin wouldn't tolerate that she needed to find something that would work for her.

Olivia has also been written up for absences because of her child being sick, and not allowed to make up time on other days (the way others are).

Olivia wants to go to HR. I feel like that is tricky. I suggested she first speak to the assistant manager, who is a genuinely kind person and also a mom and might be more sympathetic. She doesn't know the AM that well, and is afraid she would just repeat everything to the manager.

I sympathize, and I am truly angry on Olivia's behalf, but I think an HR case would be a disaster in this environment.
