If beelia's feelings are incomprehensible to any man, he is such a clueless git you shouldn't work for him. Any man who would not try to understand her feelings is such a tool you should run screaming from his presence. Any potential employer reading her post who cannot or will not understand that she was directing her feelings not at him, but at an obviously dysfunctional state government agency, is such a thin-skinned self-centered insufferable ass that it would be worth your while to cross the street to avoid him.

One problem, as I see it, would be that what's perfectly understandable to me might be completely incomprehensible to someone else, provided that someone even tried to understand.

Lauren, you wrote, "I understand your rant, Bee, and I can sympathize having been through various similar bureaucratic mazes, but you may want to temper your posts since this is a public forum and you are on Facebook with your email address. You do not want future employers to read something into your character as a potential employee."
I understand and to some extent agree with your thought. But if a potential employer is so much of a prying squint that he'll peruse this list on the off chance he might see a job applicant's name, and is so petty that he'd refuse to hire someone because that someone vented a perfectly understandable frustration over being tied into knots like beelia has been, I personally wouldn't want to work for him anyway. I'd go back to roofing houses. Better to not get hired by him in the first place, then to find yourself too late in the kind of twisty office hell that is to be expected by a boss with that kind of personality.
