Perfect! I laughed out loud at that one. I still remember my 9th grade shop teacher, Mr. Swint. He had all of his digits, was quite the character, and boy did he have some stories.
"I had this guy that pushed a piece of work through the band saw and cut into his thumb. I asked him what happened, and he started to show me how he did it, and the stupid son of a bitch did it again!"
I also can identify with the "sensitivity training". I had to do that at a past employer and I never saw so many stereotypes and assumptions being reinforced in my life.
There aren't that many "marginal producers" where I work, so I can't relate.

Liberals never met a slippery slope they didn't grease.

I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

I'm so glad to be self employed and an army of 1. When you work for a bigger company (been there, done that) and have to sit in a cube/office all day especially where the workforce is considerably younger and has more than a few females, it is easy for an over 50 white guy to have a stigma without saying or doing anything. Even though I keep my politics out of work, I wouldn't survive more than a month at a place like Google. From what I can tell, more and more workplaces are becoming more and more outwardly conservative-hostile. Any yes, as someone earlier noted, the overwhelming majority of HR people are at least left-leaning if not far left.
With respect to Trump, I didn't vote for him in the primary (Cruz), but I like most of what he has done. He does say lots of stupid stuff, but I really don't care as long as he does the right things. For most of my life, conservative politicians say the right things but don't do as they say. I can certainly handle the opposite. I truly do like how he gets under libs skins. Some of them folks gonna have coronaries if they keep that up.
"Guilty of collusion"
I have never had any of that "sensitivity" bullshit training with the company I work for. I probably wouldn't work here if I had to endure that. As it is, I don't work with anyone. Nearest boss is 100+ miles away. My "corporate HQ" is a Tuff Shed and the employee lounge is a Porta Pot. The only computer I have is the handheld I use for deliveries. It's an absolutely perfect fit for me.
ETA: Back to Trump...I am tiring of his public attacks on Jeff Sessions. If Sessions isn't performing up to par, fire him and find someone else. But STFU about it on Twitter.

Twitter is NOT a presidential outlet for expressing policy. Twitter is internet graffiti. An eagle does not twitter...
Definitions
verb
give a call consisting of repeated light tremulous sounds.
noun
a series of short, high-pitched calls or sounds.
I'm not saying I agree with all of the content Trump puts on Twitter (not saying I don't agree with it either for that matter), but where else is Trump supposed to reach the masses? With all the attacks and extreme bias with the media, Trump doesn't really have any other choice.
ETA: I'm not one of the folks that thinks Trump can do no wrong, I like things he's done, and I dislike things he has done. Trump won't make everyone happy, including myself, but I'll take him all day long over #imwithher
In WWE/WWF, he can beat up anyone including CEO of WWE Vince.

Trump has his own website, he doesn't ride the bus to the Capitol. He sure as hell doesn't fly commercial. Oh yeah I forgot, Hope Hicks, White House Communications deputy director just resigned. Maybe I am just old fashioned about protocol.
