  • Thank you for those links. I hadn’t heard of this before and it was a hell of a ride.

    For everyone else, the TL;DL of the podcast (which you should listen to!) is that Naomi is good now, she works in the aerospace industry (“commercial jet engine stuff”), and she still cusses a fuckton. She did not get back her NASA internship after that incident. I don’t think she mentioned in the interview exactly how she got back in the industry, all she said is: “I took such a roundabout way to get back into it”, and then the conversation was sidetracked by BOEING KILLED A GUY!


  • Up to you if this counts because no one was hurt. I regularly go to therapy and it’s in a hospital. At the entrance there is a guard station and they ask anyone who enters where they’re going and whatnot. I find this pretty stressful, as I don’t like sharing private information like that. Sometimes I give answers that are a little evasive, like “treatment”.

    One time apparently he was a bit suspicious of me so he told me to told me to step aside as he let other people in. I was already late so this really stressed me out, there were like 6 people behind me and it felt like an eternity. It felt like such bullshit. So when I saw an opportunity I just tried to sprint through.

    But dang, that guy knows how to do his job. He caught me and physically held be back like I was nothing. (And honestly I kind of am nothing, I don’t exercise or anything). I might as well have tried to run through a wall. That was that, no hitting or anything. Eventually another guard came and cleared me to go inside.

    As I said, I wasn’t hurt and I don’t think he was either, but it still was a physical altercation IMO. For what is worth, I was never angry at him as an individual, he was doing his job… It’s the policy that I’m angry about. It’s a freaking hospital, about half the reasons you go there are reasons you don’t want to say aloud. It’s a dumb policy.
