But tomorrow I get to fall off a surfboard repeatedly.
Ordinarily, I'd warn to watch out for sharks. But since it's ita, maybe we should warn the sharks.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I think I need this:
Here at ThinkGeek, we truly understand you have needs. Especially at work where minutes often last hours and hours become days. You need to be entertained, you don't want your neurons to prematurely atrophy. You crave stimulation. You crave a Carnivorous desktop plant set. Perfect for the casual office worker who delights in watching insects slowly meet their makers as they are painfully digested by an engaging variety of meat-sucking flora.

I would get one, but then I'd be tempted to start carving bits off of some of my dumber cow-orkers while singing selections from Little Shop of Horrors.

Hm, a little Carnivorous Plant Desk Set, a little Miracle-Gro...I'm seeing the possibilities of improving the workplace environment.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Do carnivorous plants smell bad?
Not as bad as rotting corpses under your desk, I'm sure.
So there's that.

I think there's a flower that smells like rotting meat to attract flies (so it can eat them), but I don't think that's true of all carnivorous plants. I don't remember my Venus Flytrap having any smell at all.

I'm going to have to get one heck of a carnivorous plant if it's going to be able to dispose of a person's worth of meat all at once and therefore liberate me from the bother of rotting corpses under my desk. And my office is not big enough to accommodate Audrey II.

The other half of the GothFashion Hivemind had a collection of carnivorous plants, and none of them were ooky-smelling.
I started to glance through one of her big books about carnivorous plants, and she snatched it out of my hands, saying "No. You should not look at the pictures in this book, not with your issues about spiders." I decided to trust her on that count.

None of mine have mentioned raises, large or otherwise.
And yet, oddly, I have heard much about heavier workloads.
