Work Trauma Quotes

“It comes
with this wand with a squeeze trigger and this propane tank backpack."
Hal turned around to show off the ten-pound tank strapped to his back. "Simply turn this valve
to on." He turned back, his grin widening with glee. "And apply a spark!"
Others might see Pittsburgh as a demotion, but Jane knew that Hal truly loved any excuse to
wreak massive destruction. Where else could he routinely play with sticks of dynamite? Of
course there was the small matter that his judgment was poor, hence the reason Jane had her job.
She had been hired on originally to be nothing more than a glorified gofer. Hal had ignored, shot,
or run over (figuratively and literally) everyone else assigned to the show until it was just Jane
and her elfhound, Chesty.
Hal nearly took off his eyebrows applying the spark and blackened the rim of his pith helmet.
It smoldered as he continued.”
