“No? take a vacation.” - your fantasy boss.

Considering “Violeta” is Spanish… it’s probably in pesos. About $650 usd.

depends on the day?

They look like puddles.

I’m not a robot. I’m an android. There’s a difference.

Bubs is bucking for branch manager.

Mostly, it started with small startups and then big corpos thinking “hey they were successful! And their team looks happy!”

So they emulate it. The thing is something that works for groups of 5 doesn’t work so well for more than that.

Also, yeah. There’s probably somebody in the corporate decision tree that realizes it’d increase opportunities for middle management to suck the soul out their minions, but usually the people pushing it are just stupid, and trying to be “hip” and “cool”, and all “how do you do, fellow kids?!”-ish cuz they read about it in a Forbes magazine.

They ain’t called fundays.

it’s hilarious how the idea of open concept office is “to encourage cooperation and stuff” when in reality all that happens is that it drives people to get noise cancelling headphones so they don’t hear Garry chewing gum as noisily as humanly possible, or all the “hmmmm Mmmhhmmhhh” sounds he makes while eating lunch at his desk. (Seriously, Garry, you’re not making love to it.)

Or Chatty Kathy on the phone gossiping about this or that.

People are weird. the world was a better place when we didn’t realize how weird.

For IT or something, if you have an outage because a piece of hardware failed, then you need to look at your network redundancy. single points of failure like that shouldn’t exist- and it’s been that way for decades if not longer.

if IT is in on a holiday, it’s more likely either that their company wants on site coverage because “reasons”… or it’s patch day.

Better tuck Buns under a spinach blanket,

if this isn’t a backyard garden (that’s a lot of spinach,)… that guy’s middle manager agrees.

that dog is moments from falling off the back of the couch, startling the cat and unleashing chaos into the universe.

that’s… oddly specific…

Definitely true, of course,

I’m thinking it’s trying to say:

(2/6) + (1/6) = (3/6) = (4/6) - (1/6)

But either in “colloquial English for those who want to give other people aneurysms” or “colloquial English for those trying to sound smarter but aren’t”

Basically that the degree of difference between a half and a third is the same degree of difference between a half and two thirds- and that degree of difference is “one part”.

That’s a perfect body pillow. Perfect for snuggling up to on a cold rainy day.

Somebody deserves a Scooby Snack! One of the good ones!

I don’t own either atm.

I’m not at a place where I can give pets the full attention they deserve. I do love both.

A well cared for dog is going to not smell awful, same as a well cared cat. On the other hand, there is a smell all the same.

Btw, a poorly cared for cat is going to reek something fierce. They might take care of themselves better, but if they don’t have what they need, (a clean living environment, including the litter box,) they’re going to have problems.

There’s the smell of dogs, then there’s the smell of infrequently bathed dogs.

Cats and dogs are very much the same in that non-owners usually can walk into an owner’s house and know there’s a cat or dog there. It’s, not necessarily a bad smell, buts there.

The same way that I can tell if a specific coworker was hoteling in the office. She gets her perfume from Claire’s (yes, the same strawberry-bliss or whatever it’s called from middle school…).

Infrequently bathed dogs, however is another story.
