My one dog is very special. She likes to sleep with her head under the couch. She was not pleased when we got a new couch that her head wouldn’t fit under. She sometimes runs into walls and falls off of sidewalks.
My other dog is entirely disinterested in toys. She does not play with them, ever.
I snuck meds into cheese for my dog one time, and she is now forever suspicious of any and all cheese whether it’s cubed, shredded, sliced, whatever.
I’m also going to need some elbow room in case I need to dodge anything.
I think my boss would be cool with this. I got back from vacation on Wednesday last week and immediately asked if I could take a half day on Friday of the same week.
Usually I don’t have to explain anything as all time off is requested via an app but since my vacation fell during a busy period I thought I should check.
No no no, I have it on good authority that it is hammer time.
I’m Canadian and I used to have a pass like that. It was $50 at the time and valid for 5 years.
I don’t have a lot of the issues I see others complaining about, but my teams does randomly shut down and I don’t notice until someone sends me an email saying they tried to reach me on teams. Doesn’t seem like that has anything to do with corporate policy.
My eyesight is atrocious. One time I was out in a notable windstorm, I stumbled, and my glasses got ripped off my face. I would have been absolutely fuckered if I’d been alone. They’d gotten blown under a car and I never would have found them by myself.
Depends what kind of toilet or doorknob. My company definitely sells some handle sets that are monumentally more expensive than the very affordable toilets I got from Costco.
I love black tea, particularly Earl Grey. I find it very comforting, like a warm hug. Starting in fall I drink several cups a day. During the summer I make iced tea.
Green tea shouldn’t really be strong, you’re probably steeping it too long. I drink green tea if I’m after something light (or if I’m out of milk, which I need for black tea).
Only if I have a specific question, like is this tent better than that tent. But I don’t log in and I haven’t since Boost stopped working.
I do miss it sometimes, but time spent on my phone has gone way down and that can only be an improvement.
…yes, and? I don’t want to work on site. My WFH schedule is flexible enough that I don’t need an “extra day free”. I don’t think it’s worth it. Working fewer days isn’t always better for everyone.
I’ve been WFH full time since early covid, so WFH for sure. My commute wasn’t even bad, my office is less than 10 minutes away.
I’m not a social person so there is no upside to going into the office for me. Everything to do with my job must be communicated by email so it’s documented, so it’s just a waste of time if someone wants to chat in person or on the phone about it.
Plus I don’t have to wear pants.
The one downside is my dogs seem to have developed separation anxiety since I’m around all the time.
Just because someone is unsuccessful in killing you doesn’t mean it’s okay that they continue to try though.
I’m the same about Ariana Grande. Not a fan, but I saw clips of her singing showtunes with Seth MacFarlane and it was incredible. She has such range and while I’m not really familiar with her music, I feel like her popular songs don’t do her any favours.
“This is London, Jen. It’s not someone with cake. Unless that cake is made of dog poo and knives!”
A kid once asked to pet my dog and I said no. Kid then proceeded to tell me my dog looked evil. I was enraged. She is a dog, she can’t be evil, and she’s absolutely terrified of strangers but especially kids.
Usually when I have to deny people petting this dog, I’ll offer to let them pet the other dog who’s normal, but fuck that kid, you don’t get to pet any dog today.
