Slip and twist your ankle in the parking lot? Prepare for reports and root cause analyses for a year.

But I understand it. We work with classified stuff and radioactive/explosive things (sometimes simultaneously!). Also, as one of the iconic places of the bomb's birth we get lots of media scrutiny over things that Lockheed Martin would just blow off.

Now like so many else we're working from home, trying to find unclassified things to do in our bathrobes. We were reminded today that we're still in the pool for random screenings, so I guess daydrinking is out. We'll still have two hours to get to the "golden retriever" (our name for the five RVs they use for the collections) or we fail.

If I trip on the dog and break my ankle - is it a workplace injury? If I feel up the missus on the way to the coffee pot - is it harassment?

I don't really understand your question.
Lots of other workers in the same situation.
What's the diff??
