Trying to make congee uding up the duck bones leftover from Tuesday's lunch, I remembered the rice is supposed to be already cooked and thought making a small amount in the microwave would be better than on the stove. Burnt the rice, but using it anyway. The stock smelled pretty good but the burnt rice is not absorbing it well. Letting it sit for a while before trying cooking it some more, I think I can salvage it...
Let him do his thing, and then you get him out. No messing with him for laughs.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Everyone in my org was assigned a time management course on LinkedIn Learning and everything about it is actively enraging. The instructor is condescending as fuck, he keeps stating American/English-speaking POVs as universal truths and is SO FUCKING HOSTILE to neurodivergence I want to screeeeeeeeam. (Not intentionally but he keeps saying things like "these systems will work even if you think you're too lazy for time management!" Fuck. All. The. Way. Off.)
He also keeps introducing systems with a million steps to maintain a to-do list/calendar/etc and then saying things like "this simple system will change your life." Yes, it will change my life into an endless treadmill of pointless busywork, how wonderful.
