So, just, everyone who has a dog doesn’t understand how cross-contamination works, is that it?

Oh, hey what’s up? Do you have a work-related question that’s going to require both context switching AND a lot of digging? Why don’t you ask me FRIDAY FUCKING AFTERNOON.

The fuck is “Landman?” Sounds like the 30 Rock spoof version of the middle-aged white guy fanfic that’s clogging up the rest of Paramount+

They reserved a seat for me on the train this morning!

Might need to put up a protective plexiglass barrier with how often I’ll need to tap this sign.

If every time I call support, I’m being told you’re dealing with “higher than normal call volumes,” they’re not “higher than normal,” you’re just not hiring enough support staff.
