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.
Jilli, you should (NOT) have seen the spider I shooed out of the apartment the other day. I know not from where I mustered the presence of mind to catch it and toss it out the window.

Yep. There's been some interesting gossip flying around right now, thanks to it being yearly review time.

You're braver than I am, that's for sure. I would have had hysterics, and then called all my friends until I found someone to come over and deal with it.
I haven't gotten a raise since last April, when I was given what's technically on paper a raise but which actually eliminated overtime pay in favor of salary. Funny how all my motivation to work any more 70 hour weeks just mysteriously disappeared at the same time .
