Why do they let step 2 even happen? Is it just that the creators don’t actually give a shit about their product/brand, and just want an easy, big pay day? Screw their employees?

And you think China isn’t, with their tofu-dreg projects that everyone buys as in investment but no one actually lives in?

Ehh I’d say quite a good amount of Gen X are like “Boomer-Lite” in how they act and live, if not full on Boomers. Especially the earlier half of the generation.

Yup. Grew up with stuff like Starfox, and it was later ruined by furries.

I will never understand impulsive people who just DO things, with little thought or worry of consequences.

The problem is I tend to shift around a lot, and cats hate that. So i try to “nip it in the bud” to make sure to avoid the situation altogether, but sometimes they sneak up on me while watching a movie or something.

That’s good to know! Unfortunately all the cats I see are other people’s, and so it would be awkward to be like “hey before we sit down, can we trim your cat’s claws a bit?”

It’s more when I’ve tried to pick them up, they try to dig in because they don’t want to be picked up. It’s a catch 22 situation.

Cats are conflicting for me. They can be cute, but I hate when they try to walk on me. Because I know if I try to move them they’ll probably scratch me. And that’s no bueno to me, just makes me anxious as fuck when they walk my way while i’m sitting on a couch trying to relax.

Interesting, I didn’t know Utah was known for bees/honey.

Bro, they’ve had a tough time since like…the entirety of their history.

Why did his arms, legs, and pelvis snap off the rest of the skeleton?

Also I may be mistaken, but can’t bees sting things their size just fine? They just get their stinger stuck in humans (and probably other creatures). I think in this case he could sting and pull out just fine, but who knows?

I mean what are you gonna say, twenty nine? That just sounds like 29. Guess you could say Twenty Oh Nine but that feels awkward.

I think that’s how some cultures would actually say it.

Good catch!

Just a note: it should be 10 days out of about 254. Unless you’re one of the sorry souls that works every single day, in which case you have my condolences…

Edit: 10 not 14.

Not really this year. Its been slowed down immensely in the last few months especially.

I definitely feel that… last week I was asked a question by a client regarding our status as a “local business”. I had no idea, and so I asked my coworker, who tried to look into it a little online, and came to the conclusion we probably weren’t one. So i told them we weren’t, and they were like “That’s strange, because when your company filed the original paperwork you said you were”. Weird of them to ask when they already knew the answer, right?

Well the real kicker is my office manager was CC’d on all of these emails, and after all this, I decided to ask her if she knew if we were considered a local business. She just said “yes, we are”. All I could think of was “Well why didn’t you chime in and say that at the beginning? Did I seriously have to specifically ask you to respond?!”

I didn’t actually say that, but I really wanted to…

It sometimes feels like this. At work i keep trying to let people help, and every time I do it comes back to bite me in the ass. I don’t WANT to micromanage, but they don’t give enough of a shit or miss things if I don’t basically direct them step by step and constantly followup. It’s exhausting… I miss working with reliable people.

Whenever someone says “in a few years”, I just think “yeah, I hope we live to see a few years from now too…”
