One of the benefits of working for myself is that I don't have to go through them.
One of the disadvantages is that you have a very demanding boss who does not always treat you fairly.
What you did to me was unbelievable, Connor. But then I got stuck in a hell dimension by my girlfriend one time for a hundred years, so three months under the ocean actually gave me perspective. Kind of a M.C. Escher perspective, but I did get time to think.

Yeah, but the compensation package is usually pretty good.

Good luck to those having performance reviews today!!
My onerous task was going to the vascular doctor this morning, not actually seeing her until 10:15 when the appointment was supposed to be for 9:00, and then finding out she wants to take out my heart filter (installed when I had my bypass surgery in November to prevent any clots from messing me up) on Monday. I have to go to her office tomorrow to have a physical, lab work, and an ultrasound done on my legs before the retrieval procedure, and I'm still waiting to hear back from the office as to when that procedure will take place. The doctor said that, since it's been so long since it was implanted, it might be harder to retrieve than most, and if she can't get it out on Monday, they'll have to try again with a different doctor at a later date. Grrr.
They're going to go through my neck to get to it, and I'm hoping they don't leave any permanent scars behind.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think this can apply whether or not you work for yourself.
some of that time was spent cat-wrangling.
Okay, that I will be spared. I'm just remarkably un-detail oriented for someone who worked in PC repair. The first time I closed up a case with a loose screw in it, I stared at it for five minutes to see if I could disintegrate it with my brain to avoid opening that shit back up.
Maybe I'll do it.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Plus, he's always watching you, so you can't goof off.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I made myself a fruit salad for second breakfast: half a banana, half a pink lady apple, blueberies (sweet!) and strawberries. Topped with a dollop of plain Russian yogurt. It's good.

Nice so instead of seeing that people may have had a point, Cake Wrecks just doubles down on the king cake thing. [link]
I think that's the problem with snarky humor sometimes. Mocking something you're not a part of is risky, but then when people take offense, you probably shouldn't tell them not to be so sensitive, and then mock the fact that they were offended.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Maybe I'll do it.
If I had to do it over again (which I might, on my MacBook), I bet I could do it in half an hour. But you should probably google the instructions for a MacBook Pro first. I'm guessing you'd need more than fingernails to pry that aluminum bezel off.
