I swear at some point I will do a thread of how awesome the Lego botanical sets are, but in the meantime, a new bouquet arrived in the mail. Here is a photo of the previous bouquet.
Things may still suck so here's a thread of Lego Botanicals I have put together over the past year.
General advice, guys, if a coworker who is a woman calls you because they're upset that you created a whole bunch of unnecessary work for you and your coworkers. THE VERY LAST THING YOU SHOULD DO IS TELL THEM IS THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO BE UPSET!!!
Lender: You're not allowed to be upset at me for the borrower changing their minds
Me: it is literally you're job to finalize what the borrower wants and then set the loan, not whatever the hell this is so yes I am going to be upset and there's nothing you can do about it.

I'm gonna go back to the fountain lego set because I finally have the energy to do it.
Anyway, I have vacation next week, so whatever happens after Friday is in the hands of the mortgage chaos gods and not my fucking problem.

Okay, so Powerwash 2 update: The mayor who fled Muckingham after he basically embezzled all the cities' money and essentially trashed the town due to the volcano incident wants his cat back even though he abandoned it.
I am further into Powerwash 2, and there are more supernatural shenanigans. I am powerwashing a summoning circle.
I am starting the new Powerwash game and beginning with an antique store truck

The delivery driver rules are this l: if you see a delivery driver looking lost, you ask him which house they are looking for and point him in the right direction. That's even if the delivery is not for you. Your neighbors will thank you and so will the delivery driver.

something i'll note is that if nuzzi ran catch-and-kill ops for rfk jr and lizza knew this prior to him being appointed as HHS, and instead of telling anyone, he decided to save it for his substack long after rfk jr had made communicable disease into federal policy, that's completely fucked

How I feel about the whole Olivia Nuzzi story is that there are a lot of talented, ethical, underemployed or unemployed black and brown journalists right now who are ready to work.

Another reason I am leaving the hell job is that literally every lending officer I work with acts like they are the only lender with loans in processing and whenever I don't get to something right away despite being short staffed and working overtime ny supervisor gets emailed.

This is the only measurement of cheese I use in my cooking.
Remember your corn? Sprinkle your grated cotija (or crumbled feta) on it as soon as it’s out of the skillet and let that cheese get melty and coat the corn as you stir it up. How much cheese? YOU DECIDE. I release you from the tyranny of measurement!
