New goddess idea: She’s an earth goddess of the new age who’s domain is spinning and weaving, but specifically spinning and weaving gigantic structural steel cables for construction and other industrial purposes. Her skin is steel grey and hard to the touch and her hair is like long dredlocks of woven steel. She laughs at shitty architecture deigns that will fall apart if actually built and protects well-made bridges and buildings she likes. She might warn you of unforseen danger if you always wear your proper PPE.
Okay now what do I name her
O’sha.
Obviously
THAT’S PERFECT
I AM ALWAYS HERE FOR QUALITY WORKPLACE SAFETY REGULATION PUNS
That’s my goddess. ??
May O’sha bless you with earplugs that are comfortable and respirators that fit perfectly.
the only divinity where you don’t take your hat off in the temple – you put your hat ON.
the funniest vampire bullshit will forever be some vampire lamenting having to kill while theyre actively killing and monologuing like “truly, I am the most hated creature in god’s narrowed eye, the new modern prometheus, my purpose an eternal question, my existence a curse. is there a single person, even a fleeting thought, that has ever spent a moment beneath the same moon as I while feeling this unique pain? Pity me, world, for no one now is as miserable as I”
and the dude literally bleeding to death in the vampire’s arms, they never get a line, but if they did, it would probably be “okay now hold up if this is a contest about who’s having the worse fucking night,”
This might come as a shock to some of you but saying “I’m not informed enough on this particular topic to have an opinion” is about 100 times more respectable than being misinformed
I know in school they often teach us that ‘I don’t know’ is the worst possible answer and that you are better off making your best guess than admitting ignorance, but that’s because the educational system is a dumpster fire, and this is a habit that it pays to un-learn.
I’ve had 14 customer service jobs in 11 years (I get bored) and let me tell you that answering a customer with “I don’t personally know but let me go ask someone who does!” is a totally valid and respectable answer, probably even the BEST answer cause that proves you show initiative in finding things out and solving your own admitted ignorance.
We aren’t experts on everything and we aren’t SUPPOSED to be. Research is good for you! Do it!
my dad is an engineer and raised me like this, and yeah, it’s good parenting too – your kid asks you a question and instead of making up some shit or giving an opinion with no facts behind it, you look it up together, or do science to find out. it’s a bonding experience and it builds trust.
(maybe i should say dad WAS an engineer, as he’s retired now and building custom guitars instead of medical devices. but engineer is a mindset. you don’t retire from having the engineer nature.)
