Nice trick!

There's a reason people get angry, they think you knew better or should have known and think you're messing with them. It's all about empathy. On all sides. To me it's up to the person that actually should know better to act responsible.

Good to know.

Also good for if you misheard something innocent as an insult.

Don't vent to anyone at work. They don't care and they have their own issues. If you vent to the company snitch - the one who tells the boss everything - you could be making a big mistake. And if you vent to someone who wants your job, you could give them the ammunition they need to get it. Just keep your mouth closed and if things are that bad, come home and vent to your cat. Or set aside time to speak privately with your boss, keeping in the back of your mind that you should probably start looking for another job.

I used to suffer badly with PTSD and this helped enormously. It was often too much to face 'breaking the day down hour by hour' but quarters, I could do. They work better around your life pattern - even if you're at work, there's a clean line between the quarters and especially in PTSD or Anxiety which relies on adrenaline... You're rarely ever feeling quite as bad as you did 4 hours ago. Obviously sometimes the adrenaline came back that day, but drawing a line around each quarter really helped move on from it x

It doesn't all have to be the most profound. Even if some of it doesn't age well - like 'always use a six-shooter in a duel' - it may end up being pretty funny. Or at least a 'I can't believe they used to think like that' moment.

Interesting!
