Lol!! Parents day actually extended to pets, too, and later (about a year or so before I left) also extended to (what is now known as) mental health day.

One time, one of my coworkers showed up to work with his kid, because the babysitter called in sick. My manager, without skipping a beat, told him to go home and be the best dad he possibly could, then, not only did she not use his sick time for this day, she made it a department policy to allow unlimited* "parent days". One of the best managers I've ever had.

' * Fine print was basically, don't abuse it, but use it when you need it.

How will they live when the profits stop?

Yes, because the first thing I think about with a thinning atmosphere, is some megacorpo's potential monetary losses, and not my home's likely demise. Fuck them.

:( hopefully her partner can leave soon, too, and they can go to a liberated country where they (I'm assuming both female, based on the video intro) can love and live in peace and happiness.

...not many of those countries left, I'm afraid.

That was an interesting concept. I hope Wu is able to get out of that country :(
