workaday Wednesday

Through a series of events that aren't really relevant to this post, it turns out that I have access to the answers that a small group of my fellow employees provided to the question "What's your Superpower of choice?"

And ONE fellow employee chose this Extremely Worrying response: "Mind Control"

REALLY?!?!?!?!?!?

WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?

I find this answer baffling both in the 'I'm not sure why you would want to be able to do that' sense AND in the 'I'm not sure why you would want to admit that in a semi-public forum' sense.

ANYWAY, most people picked flying, or didn't answer at all. As someone who doesn't particularly love heights, planes, travel, swooping movements, or moving quickly, I went with 'luck.' It's the practical choice!

I remember being asked this question as a kid by a teacher, and even at ~10 years old I was wary of answering honestly to avoid coming off as a bad person (my answer would have been "invisibility, so I can steal stuff my family can't afford" haha.)

I suppose I can see the appeal of mind control. Every time I'm outside and some asshole is playing their music super loudly, or hitting and berating their kid, or leaving dog poop everywhere - yeah, I can see it.
