On Ask a Manager today, someone wrote in to ask if they should tell their employee about a vivid dream they had predicting that the employee would die in six years.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Dana, I read that and thought, how is this even a question???

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Is it weird that I think that would be fine for a peer to tell me about but a boss not?
Ha, the Good Place curse-replacement is seamless. I didn't even notice it was happening except to think more people were making Good Place references than I expected, but Spike's Benches in my Message Center finally got through to me.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Spike's Benches in my Message Center finally got through to me.

I don't use Chrome, but now I might have to download it just so I can use the extension so I can have Spike's Benches.

I'm fairly certain that the FB post I just read didn't originally say bullshirt, and it absolutely delights.

With a peer there's no fear that you're failing to live (or not) up to expectations.
