Well, I’ve figured it out: why cell phone towers and other tall structures freak me out (abused as a young child and the towers represent adults); why hearing about new hires freaks me out.
The latter is not just about Sandy’s replacing me when I was a toddler. It also has to do with employers being especially vicious in kicking me out because they know it’s wrong and (because of the influence of the Church That Excuses Rape of Little Kids) feel guilty as a result.
It’s a freaking miracle that I’m not a serial killer or mass murderer. I hate people, I really do, and no wonder.
