We decided that Dad needs an exterminator to come in and say "Sir, in my professional opinion as an exterminator...you are tripping balls HARD."
Do not hire Dale Gribble.
Mal: Go on. Get in there. Give your brother a thrashing for messing up your plan. River: He takes so much looking after.

Did I miss why you needed a snail?
That's some spicy balls, David. 🌶
Sophia, I'm also willing to help. Could your friend come over and take out trash bags?

Snails are hardcore nonbinary, fwiw.
Maybe I should term that hardshell nonbinary.

I thought I remembered something like that, Theo!
I needed the snail to clean the container that holds a plant and hangs on my cubicle wall. My dad gave me the plant and said the person who made the thing suggested adding a snail. So now I'm looking at adding some aquatic moss to make the snail more comfortable, because the plant is mostly above the water and google tells me snails like plenty of vegetation.

Email from my boss
"how are you going to approach on boarding (person I hired to replace you that I have still not talked you about)?"
1) he still hasn't talked with me about any of this 2) I am still working from home 3) NO PLAN OFFERED UP ABOUT TRAINING, TRANSITIONING, ANYTHING

I recently saw a brief video of a newly hatched snail eating its shell. Seemingly, they use the nutrients in the shell (calcium?) to help form their own shell (they hatch naked ... as do we all).

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm sorry to gloat about my job when so many of you are in crappy situations, but honestly, my job is so great! I am seriously never leaving here. Even when it's aggravating (and maybe I'm coming in on Saturday again??), it's good. I just got a raise for no reason, because HR did a salary review!

I did reach out directly to an HR person at my current company because I do not think boss had done so. Nothing of it, but at least I reached out. I would be over the moon if a job fell in my lap with this place, it would make things much easier in the short-term.
