#EDITORSPICK
Coming to work every day is a true exercise in patience. It takes a lot of personal restraint not to lose it over the small annoyances that are part of Hill culture. Of course, most of us would never say anything to anyone IRL. However, that doesn’t mean we can’t rant about them privately… or anonymously shame them with hashtags.
