That’s advice from the 90s. These days you absolutely need to fight back. Being passive just gets you hurt. She doesn’t need to provoke a confrontation; but she should defend herself. Bad guys always try to pick people that they think aren’t going to fight back.

Very interesting theory she has there, but I like yours better – kick some ass then worry about it later.

I love your niece. That said, she really needs to be sent to a martial arts class. I’m betting she’d only use it for good, not evil.

Have you seen Ralph Macchio’s “Wax on, F@#k off!” on Funny or Die? I’ve watched it at LEAST 4 times now.

I can’t believe that he’s frigging FORTY EIGHT. He’s STILL hot.

I told her that about fighting back too. We’re going to discuss it more.

I have no idea who taught her that. I think she came up with it on her own. We saw a dead armadillo on the side of the road earlier so I wonder if that got her mind to turning.

She’s a very interesting creature.

I’m glad I’m not alone. :)

No AK. I don’t like loud noises.

I’m not worried that things will go to hell because I’m there (that’s what I like about my job. Being an ant. Things run the same if I’m there or not). I’m afraid that the powers to be will decide for whatever reason (maybe they can hire a newbie in cheaper?) that I need to go.

Your reasons for boycotting KK are the same as mine!

I always make sure to submit my timecard before going on vacation so I don’t have to wait weeks for incorrections to be fixed. Our place hasn’t had any layoffs but if they decide (for whatever reason) that they want to get rid of you, it’s not hard to do.

I had a friend who was fired a few years ago basically because her supervisor was mad that she wanted off his team to work a different shift. The same day she went to her new shift, he was there and fired her and used made up reasons. Then the company tried to deny her unemployment. She got a lawyer and proved that the reasons listed officially for the firing were bullshit.
