I’ve been seeing the phrase “start as you mean to go on” flying around a lot as we collectively, tentatively tiptoe into 2019. 2018 was an utter disaster for me, and although 2019 is better so far – touch would, knock on wood, hug wood – I’m afraid of jinxing myself.

Unfortunately for rene, she didn’t actually misbehave. She just accused her supervising officer of sexual harassment, and nobody backed her […]
